Hi everyone,
My WIP is a military/espionage series set in 2021. Yet, I think I have come across a bit of a problem. This genre is generally not serialized with examples found in novels such as Rainbow Six and the like. My overall storyline for the series, however, can be considered as a serialized account of World War III with a short majority of the focus on my MC, a CIA operations officer. Each of the planned stories lead into the next with multiple superpowers in tow. The key players are the United States, European Union, Russia, India, and China.
The question is: Can I get away with this in submitting to the industry? It seems like this kind of format is a rarity and I am particularly trying to avoid the one man/nation/organization saves the world plotline.
