THEM - Thomas Lott

Seasoned business development and pitching specialist by day, writer by night. Proudly boasts unpublished drafts that have garnered enthusiastic praise from his fiancée and, following considerable persuasive efforts,  local publican. His grandmother, however, remains diplomatically silent. Writing has been a guise of Thomas's since he can remember - notable achievements including the triumphant dispute of a handful of parking tickets, acing his Dickens-inspired English Literature A-Level exam with a perfect score, and eliciting a hearty chuckle from at least two readers of his self-published comedy travelogue, The Diary of a Disgruntled Roman. THEM - a dystopian glance into a world gripped by the threat of eugenics - was released in September this year. He is currently seeking representation to bring his unique voice and *cough* humour *cough* to a broader audience.

GENRE: Thriller; Dystopian; Sci-Fi

Blurb:

Imagine a world where your future is determined by the composition of your DNA, is either fruitful or desolate on just a few nanometres of chromosomal data, judged not by you, but by a silent minority, a secret organisation, THEM. Tabloid art journalist, Peter Brockland, lives a life of peaceful mediocrity, avoiding the clutches of a childhood shrouded by mystery. But when he narrowly escapes a chance train explosion with his life, he survives unaware that he, and it, had been intentional.
