Summary:
John Lange was your typical New York detective. At least, that's what he's been told. The only thing Lange can remember is getting caught in a near fatal explosion, and now his ex-wife's employers, an organization known only as Project NOVA, have become his only lifeline. No one's willing to tell the whole truth, and no one can be trusted. NOVA's own operatives have been disappearing, and someone on the outside has been watching Lange for a long, long time.
But before Lange can investigate the secretive Project NOVA, he's going to have to learn the truth about himself. And the secrets John Lange's own mind hides may yet make this case his last!

This work is very interesting! I enjoyed how you took a very over-used (in my opinion) genre, that of the mystery special forces thriller, and turned it into something approaching a conspiracy story. I also liked how you took the time to give your characters thorough back-stories while leaving just enough secrecy to keep it enticing.
The one thing you could work on would be to develop more setting details, such as at the bar and hospital. The reader is given a location, but almost nothing about how it looks, smells, etc.
Overall, though, great work. This is certainly the beginning of something good!
It will probably be much easier to write a pitch-styled summary after I've finished the final draft of the novel-- I'll be able to objectively decide what is important enough to address and how to approach the work as a whole.
Thanks for your thoughts, by the way, I really apprecaite it. Ultimately we're all here on TeenInk to hone our craft, and I appreciate your help.
Okay, that's a fine chapter length. :D
Yeah, the summary is what you would call a pitch, what you find on the back of the cover. I know it's hard, but you'll have to do it. You purposely don't tell much in the pitch.
