Straddling two genres - where should I apply?

vendredi 14 août 2015

My novel unhelpfully straddles both Thriller and (light, near future) Science Fiction. Sort of Paul Atreides in the 'Her' universe under attack by a secret society.

I'm not really sure where this fits best.

It is certainly fast paced and quite tight with plenty of action. The sci-fi is integral but light - no space battles or anything that grand, more 'Pusher' than Star Wars.

It is set in a contemporary world but I don't know if the Thriller crowd will be put off by the sci-fi or if the sci-fi crowd will be disappointed with the lack of robots/c-beams glittering in the dark near the Tannhäuser gate.

Should I hedge my bets and submit to Sci-Fi and Thriller agents or should I concentrate on one avenue?

Many thanks.
