Thanks so much! I'm glad you think it improved, but, I must say, it was especially hard to write this query because I left out two absolutely central characters, and hated to do it. As to why it's SF: the story's set on an alien planet, in the future, and involves spaceships and a culture clash or two - also computer hacking and holoscreens. And yes, these things are essential to the plot. But it's not hard SF at all - much more like the SF of LeGuin, Diane Duane and Hilari Bell, who are all authors I admire. Would it work to call it speculative fiction? I think that's probably more accurate, if SF makes people think of hard SF that is more about science than people. My book is much more about people than science - but there is some science in it, and no magic at all.
