Title: Holding the Line: Book One of The Long Watch by Roy M. Griffis Pitch: "Living with his widowed janitor father at the 150-year-old New Territorial Military Institute, Danny had a free ride scholarship. All he wanted to do was graduate college, abandon his drunk dad, and get the hell out of Wyoming.That was before his basement home exploded. Before he met the sickly, spooky Tatiana who could See. Before the whispers in the night.And that was before things got really weird." Influences: Ray Bradbury, Richard Adams, Robert A. Heinlein, Edgar Rice Burroughs Bookstore URL: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F89R56L9
