I've read that book! I specifically logged in to say this. I liked the book!
As someone who wrote 6 unpublished novels, I'm envious of you that you got to publish that book (as in a story with a science touch)!
I specifically remember the scene where the protagonist is looking for bodies on the hill and he identifies the dead bodies acc to the plants that grew. It positively surprised me (that some ppl ala detectives actually are capable of that level of thinking) and gave me the creeps every time I go to the forest :p.
My books for rejected from every publisher and agent I sent it to and it is a duology about a "modern" dictatorship.
Part 1 is a mystery genre
Part 2 is a satire.
Sadly, I live in India and as per an Editor "Love and historical fiction sells in India and yours ain't that"
Nobody knows anything. Harry Potter got rejected by over 40 publishers.
I started as a self-published author and sold hundreds of thousands of books plus made my first movie deal before ever getting a publisher.
I was actually better early-off as an indie than with some of my first publishing deals. Although I learned a lot by working with a first-rate editor.
You don't need a publisher in 2019. You need a good book, a good editor, a good cover and a good description...and to keep writing.
A year after I sat down to write my first self-published novel I was sitting across the table from one of my favorite directors on the Disney lot talking about my book.
