I've had a new idea recently for a novel. I've played around with writing it, and letting it stew in my head some, and here's a long and detailed synopsis I have created.
Jay is the Assistant General of Ground Troops for the Rialian Galaxy army, and the only young man in his family who isn't actively fighting in the war between Rialis and Syestar. Ty and Scott, his younger cousins, are both active duty soldiers, with Ty as a pilot and Scott as a ground trooper. Jay's job is weighing hard on him nonetheless; the stress of carrying the lives of thousands of young men on his shoulders every day is taking a toll on him and causing his already-crippling headaches to worsen. Just on the verge of attacking one of Syestar's nuclear bases, Jay receives devastating news; Scott has been mortally injured in a mine explosion.
The news rocks his world. Ty, Scott's brother, is near hysteria when he is deployed to fight an oncoming advance on their safety base, and yet another blow hits Jay hard.
Ty is killed on the front lines.
Now in the depths of despair for both of his cousins, Jay is nearly incapable of working. Still, Rialis is short on men, and he is called to fight. During a confrontation between Syestar's General Peirson, everything suddenly goes black.
Jay awakes to find himself sold to a Syestar slave train. Battered, emotionally drained, and ready to die, Jay struggles to survive on the desert planet along with new friends: Vivian, Zaner, and Yoli, all Syestar slaves—like himself.
Desperate to get home and avoid being pronounced dead, Jay escapes from the slave train, but it will take all the strength he has to fight through Syestar soldiers, new terrain, and enemy eyes to get home, all while grieving the death of his best friend and cousin, Ty.

P.S. Sorry if this is a little "incomplete"...It's a rough idea that I'm still working with. I'll let you in on the official synopsis when I can!
