Space Opera Fans discussion

Hello, My name is Brian. I am a military veteran and college graduate. I have written my first book ( first in a long series) its currently at the editor for its second revision. Currently, I am working on the back cover (Pre Edit).

What are your opinions?

Book Description - Treading Vacuum
Alex and his three friends discover a revolutionary way to travel into space with a device that repels gravity. Their present-day world changing technology is sought by the government and they are forced to go into hiding while they perfect their technology. Their adventures into orbit and space become a global sensation. They discover something so profound they fear what unleashing that information might do to humanity. Follow these friends as they navigate fame, family and those who are determined to stop them, because for better or worse the choices they make, will shape the future forever!

Is this YA? It kind of sounds like "Alex and his three friends" are teenagers or even younger.

I'm torn between thinking this is a middle-school book or going for vintage (magazine-era).

If you could clarify the audience of the book, I think that would help us make suggestions.

College age

You might want to make that clear in the blurb. Maybe "Alex and his three college friends ..."

She is right it does sound like Alex and his three friends only the difference is antigravity device instead of just flying .

If the book is rather campy in style, I think your synopsis is fine. Although you'll have a small niche audience for this style. Repelling gravity makes me think of Buck Rogers....

If it's not campy, you'll need to re-write the synopsis.
