Perhaps you should try telling this to editors. They won't buy a WWII-in-space story or novel. They'll be looking for the sfnal conceit that distinguishes the story. (Plus all the other stuff as well, of course: well-written prose, good characterisation, originality, a good story...) If Hawkshaw is not taking writing seriously, then why post the novel here and ask for critiques?
