Synopses

In case you missed it, I finished the first draft of TND! I cannot explain how amazing that feels! I am in the process of doing my own editing, but I will be emailing it out shortly for some beta-reading soon. I thought I would take a chance and offer you a peek at what I'm thinking for a synopsis. I will probably add a few tweaks here and there, but these are the two I am kicking around. Let me know what you think!


Option 1:

 When logic fails, a fire burns in the heart of Jared Donovan. Bound by a thirst for vengeance and vindication, Jared descends into darkness to become America's most wanted criminal. Jared gives up a normal life to become Nemesis. As the Red Rose Fever ignites the globe, the American dream is ripped in half. Those with money and means rise to the top of the fold, but can money and the lives of the innocent buy peace? Is Nemesis truly the villain? Or is he the nation's only chance at absolution?


Option  2:

A fever has taken over the Earth. The nation is bankrupt. Democracy is failing. Two saviors have begun a struggle for the power to control the fate of the now ill-fated United States. Caught between the East and West is America’s most wanted; Nemesis. The anarchist, otherwise known as Jared Donovan, is on a path to join a side and sway the balance of power, but which choice is the lesser evil? Driven by his own sense of wrong and right, Jared finds himself trapped between the two messiahs.  One man is a corrupt and blatantly obscene; the other is cold, measured, and calculating. Jared is a pawn in this chess game for the soul of the nation, but on which side should he fight?



I am already quite partial to number 2, but I would love any thoughts and/or votes.
