When Hurango, a young aspiring pianist, morphs into a gorilla, a team of humanoids tranquilizes him. The government of Texan America stamps him with ‘animan disease,’ wipes his memories, and ships him to an internment camp for ‘animans’—to use in medical and military experiments. Interesting, and I'd keep reading, but I think we need a little indication of how normal / not normal this is. The use of the word humanoids makes it seem like this is a common enough occurrence that there are teams of them. But also, why would a team of his own kind attack him?

Hurango fills the memory hole Why would he lose his memory? What does that have to do with becoming a gorilla? with new memories, especially those of Manika’s, a girl with visions swirling around her, but worries about protecting his newfound memories eat him up daily. As part of a gladiator team to entertain better-armed humans, Hurango learns ancient war strategies in secret and dreams of new ones. Not understanding the memory element at all. Why would he lose his? How can he participate in Manika's visions? Why does she have them? And what does the gladiator element and battle tactics have to do with anything?

A betrayal leads to his exile in the Arctic Archipelago, where death prowls under the guise of military experiments, and a ‘you could die any moment’ psyche reigns all over. Separated from Manika and believing his memories are compromised again, Hurango chases after bombs. Who betrayed him? Why? And why are the memories such a big deal? Is he trying to hold on to his humanity? Why are memories the crux? What do bombs have to do with anything? Does he have death wish?

When the responsibility of safeguarding the future of Earth’s farming and saving animans from the death sentence is thrust upon him, his gorilla shoulders wobble. I have no idea what this means. Why would this become his duty, and what does it actually mean? Why would a gorilla be put in charge of saving farming, and what does that entail? What does it have to do with the plot? Hurango struggles to harness the best of animans’ dual nature—animal instincts paired with human ingenuity—to win the war without fighting. What war? I don't know who the bad guys are, or what the goal is.

ANIMAN is a speculative fiction novel complete at 98,000-word. It will appeal to the fans of Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood, Sweet Tooth by Jeff Lemire, and The Animal Kingdom screenplay by Cailley and Munier.

Knowing your interest in speculative fiction, I hope you will represent ANIMAN. It’s a standalone book, with potential for future stories set within the same world.

I’m based in Nevada and work in technology field. Animals fascinate me, and reevaluating the dynamics between humans and animals, inspired me to write this novel.

Right now this isn't doing a great job of portraying the main elements of what a query needs to do -- what does the main character want? What is standing in the way? How are they going to overcome those obstacles? The heavy reliance on memories doesn't make any sense within the query, b/c I didn't realize he'd lost them, and I also don't understand the critical importance of keeping them. The world building is murky - I don't understand who is fighting who, or why. Overall, you need to get the basic plot injected here, as well as a greater understanding of the world. Right now this is reading more like you are hitting hard on themes, but I'm also not really clear on what those themes are.
