There is a green background with lines of code running down it. A man's head and shoulders are in silhouette against the lines of code. The text is in courier font and all capitalised. It reads: An agent's guide to: Out of Time By Gert Ramm Espionage/time travel thriller Images from Pixabay.
There is a green background with lines of code running down it. A man's head and shoulders are in silhouette against the lines of code. The text is in courier font and all capitalised. To the left of the man's head it reads: 1972: an MI5 officer discovers a secret Cold War agenda - to develop time travel technology. After a failed British experiment creates an unstable time vortex, he must find a way to disable it, before it's weaponised for temporal warfare. That's easier said than done though, when the government blames him for the disaster, and ruthless hunters are closing in. The text to the right of the man's head reads: Pitch: Slow Horses... With Time Travel In the bottom right-hand corner is the image of an SLR camera lens. Images from Pixabay.
There is a green background with lines of code running down it. A man's head and shoulders are in silhouette against the lines of code. The text is all capitalised and in courier font. The text to the left of the man's head reads: Comps: Slough House Series (Mick Herron) Here and Now and Then (Mike Chen) Dark Matter (Blake Crouch) The Anubis Gates (Tim Powers) The text to the right of the man's head reads: TV Comps: The Ipress File Day of the Jackal Life on Mars Callan In the bottom right-hand corner is an image of a semi-automatic pistol with seven rounds of ammunition beside it.

There is a green background with lines of code running down it. A man's head and shoulders are in silhouette against the lines of code. The text is all capitalised and in courier font. The text in the left-hand panel reads: Themes: Loyalty Betrayal Sacrifice Balance of Power Trust The text in the right-hand panel reads: First page: Friede couldn't be in his head. Not now. Distractions led to mistakes. A mistake tonight would be disastrous. Edmund Fletcher forced himself to focus as he padded silently through the disused sewer. His penlight illuminated a narrow arched tunnel, though he'd used this subterranean labyrinth so often he could have navigated it in darkness. 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 was directly below the wall now. A hundred feet ahead was Soviet territory. While he held Russian and GDR security in the highest esteem, after three years in the business it wasn’t hard to stay ahead of them. He took nothing for granted though; complacency was a killer. Twelve frames run along the bottom of the page - the negative images on a roll of 35mm film. Images from Pixabay.
Slow Horses ➕️➕️➕️
Time travel's brutal for an MI5 agent on the run from his government. They almost blew up 1972; he got the blame. Now there's a temporal vortex to close, if the hunters don't kill him first, and a Russian spy from 1997 is running interference.

A page from an old book showing a skull drawing and the word MORTEM, a well-dressed couple in shadow staring at you with glowing eyes, two skyscrapers looming overhead in the fog, several pistols lying in a cushioned case, a black hole, two doctors performing surgery, a man with his back turned and a woman's hand cradling his head, a cork board of documents and string, six figures cloaked in black and gathered in a semi-circle.

By 1972 the Cold War isn't about nuclear arms anymore, it's about time travel. When MI5 agent Eddie Fletcher is framed for the UK's role in a temporal disaster, he must clear his name and seal a lethal time rift; before a desperate Russian spy from 1997 gets him killed.

Hello! I would suggest #SFFT because it's a bit of an umbrella for science fiction/fantasy so otherwordly thrillers would do well there. Just make sure to include more information in your pitch for agents/editors to get a better idea of your work! I hope this helps!
