Thanks, I will look into Sturgeon's novel, although I'm not sure its the type of Sci-Fi I prefer to read.
I read mostly Time Travel related stuff.
Thats how I came across Priest's novel...because of its connection to HG Wells (The Time Machine).

And I must admit, I do enjoy older Science Fiction, like HG Wells stuff
...written before real science came along and corrected it
and made it more scientifically accurate
...and less adventurous, and less romantic!

LOL

well, I'm off to read your "water" making tutorial now
even though I don't get much call for water themed dioramas.
You never know...one day, I might need it.
I'd say the Mechs were standing on the Continental Shelf in those scenes.
Those coastal sea plains go out pretty far.
