I'm not quite sure what to say. I looked at your book, and several things struck me.

1. The book isn't formatted correctly in the Ebook edition.

2. I couldn't find the publishing house called - Under the Golden Gate Publishing, so I assume you self-published. The thing is if people look for the publisher, that's going to be a problem. It's best not to put a publisher in.

3. The writing style is not that of a professional writer. It's easily picked up by someone who is not a reader.

4. There were three written reviews. The first one noted it was a requested review, and I pretty much got the impression that the others were requested as well. When readers are looking for something to read, they're not really going to pay attention to a requested review, because people who are requested to review something feel obliged to do so.

That said, it is most definitely a topic that could reach a wider audience. I think this was a book you should have submitted to mainstream publishing because it needs a bit of a rewrite.

I'm willing to bet that you don't read much. I can tell that because your writing doesn't have the grammatical flow that is normal for traditionally published writer. You see, when someone reads a lot, they recongize instantly if the writer adheres to those rules or not.

My advice here is that it is definitely a story that many would like to read, but I would suggest a professional editor - someone who actually works in book publishing, and then I would submit to a traditional publisher.
