Provide the premise of your novel in a compelling an interesting way that you could fit into thirty seconds or less. Conciseness is key.

For example, here are a few of my ideas

At the dawn of FTL travel, it is discovered that traveling faster than the speed of light causes you to travel backwards in time. After the crew of the first public FTL launch receive a message from... themselves... about a mysterious danger, they have less than a day to stop a terrorist attack that has already happened. Claustrophobic Murder mystery meets pulp sci-fi.

Humanity first begins to colonize the stars, but when they discover a strange alien planet, it seems that political minefields, grudges from Earth, and the hardships of colonist life all pale in comparison to the danger of the ancient force that dwells below the surface of the planet. Sci-Fi thriller with touches of political fiction.

After accidentally turning himself into a bat, an amateur wizard sets off in search of someone more experienced to help him. Along the way, he teams up with a mutant murderer, a reluctant child prodigy, and a ghost, learning moral lessons so sappy it would make Winnie the Pooh cringe. Fantasy comedy.
