Dark blue background with a circular, time-delay image of the night-time stars. They resemble a time tunnel, or vortex. Text reads: 1972 is a rough year for intelligence officer Eddie Fletcher, and it’s only January. First he discovers the Cold War is really about time travel, then he’s framed for the UK’s role in a temporal disaster. Sealing a lethal time rift is the only way to clear his name - much easier said than done when he’s being hunted by the British government. Then there's a Russian spy on a mission so vital he’s travelled from 1997 to complete it. Pitch: Slow Horses X Time Travel Images from Pixabay

Dark blue background with a circular, time-delay image of the night-time stars. They resemble a time tunnel, or vortex. The text in the left-hand panel reads: Themes: Loyalty Betrayal Sacrifice Power Trust The text in the right-hand panel reads: First page: His coat smelled of Hermès Caleche, a heady reminder of his last embrace with Friede. She was the reason he'd come to this forgotten place tonight, but he couldn't be distracted by her. Taking his eye off the ball would get him killed. Edmund Fletcher's attention snapped into focus as he forced his lover from his mind. He padded through the disused sewer, catching the occasional whiff of human effluent still lingering in the brickwork, his penlight illuminating a narrow arched tunnel stretching ahead into darkness. Water trickled down the walls to form black, glistening pools on the floor and he shivered, quickening his pace. It was always cold so far below ground, heavy snow in the streets above had lowered the temperature further. He'd used this labyrinthine system often enough to know the layout by heart. He was directly below the Berlin wall now, Soviet territory lay only thirty feet ahead. While he held East German security services in the highest esteem, after four years in the smuggling business he knew how to stay ahead of them. Images from Pixabay

The image shows a horror-comedy novel cover titled "DAD BODIES." The top of the cover reads "THE GAME JUST TOOK A DAD TURN" with "DAD" in a different color. The background features a haunted house with multiple towers and illuminated windows against a dark backdrop. At the center is a 20-sided die (D20) used in tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, with visible numbers including 1, 7, 13, and 19. The die is surrounded by red blood splatter effects. At the bottom of the cover are six men with expressions of terror and shock. One man is wearing a white shirt over his head. These men are the dads referenced in the title.

A collage of images in blue, white, black, and grey, with text superimposed on them: "When a spacecraft crashes on a world with a posioned atmosphere, two teams from rival cities are sent after it. They face the hostile ecosystem, thenpolitics between their respective cities, and bosses with perwonal agendas, in a race to find it first. They have ten days before it's toonlate for possible survivors." "Abilities for a chosen few" "Cinematic fights" "Planet will kill you" "Domed cities/nomads" "Friends to enemies" "Enviro suits/ altered bodies" "Betrayed trust/ loyalty under scrutiny" "Multiple POV" " QUOTES One's irrational fears weren't supposed to materialeze. A palm's length away, the darkness moved. Golden particles swirled and bloomed between the tree trunks. They were coming. It's a tough world, out there, without smart suits, without changed bodies. They need to learn to respect that, and know their limits, and use their heads. Tell her what colourful things they call you, he said, and smiled, the way the wild things smile. You're not lost. Not yet. No more than I am."

When a spacecraft crashes on a planet with a poisoned atmosphere, Thea and her team have ten days to find it before it's too late for possible survivors. It should be an easy mission, but the monsters she faces are not all from her planet's ecosystem.
