Andy, I haven't mentioned it on the blog but I've been listening to the Graphic Audio productions of Ahern's The Survivalist, and have recently gotten to the very volume with the underwater city you are referring to, "Mid-Wake." But man that series is hard-going...endless action scenes that would probably even wear out Rosenberger!!

I remember that Jerry Ahern also liked his seacities in his later Survivalist novels. They went out of favour with the aircar and the colonisation of the moon.<br /><br />It is regretable that Rosenberger never made something of his sf-concepts. It only just served as a hook, never as an important part of the plot.
