Underwater action.
That’s what’s happening in my novel as I’m finally in sight of the finish line, and that’s what Irwin Allen was specialized in.
So here’s as a good luck token for my story, a pilot for a series called City Beneath the Sea, that sadly never happened.
It’s garish, somewhat preposterous and strongly influenced by classic Star Trek.
And yet, it’s pretty fun1.
Enjoy!
- and I must admit I’m intrigued by Cecile Ozorio as the security officer. ↩

Irwin Allen? The fellow of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea?

The man himself.
He was a specialist of effects-based adventure TV and movies in the ’50s/’70s.

This reminds me of a wonderful movie with Vincent Price. The plot regarded a secret underwater city founded by Price itself, but under the threat of a mutant fish called Morbula….unfortunately, I don’t remember the title of the movie.

Hi, I’m the man formerly known as Verroinsaziabile. So, Davide, it took three years but I can finally thank you for your reply – I saw and enjoyed the movie later. I reached this old post by looking for some article about Heraklion/Thonis, the Egyptian sunken city, and I thought: the good ol’ Davide Mana shoul’ve written something about this! In any case, let me take advantage of this to thank you for your work of cultural dissemination (in 8 years of lurking, I learned a lot). You’re able to spread interesting and sometimes even poetic contents, just like the one about the winds of mars. i know that you’re slightly abandoning Strategie Evolutive, but even if I support and read Karavansara too, I’m emotionally bound to your old blog (and “tra le province” was good as well). I have just one last thing to say: never give up, even if the sky is darker than before. I wish you a 2o19 characterized by a greater economic stability.

Thank you!
Strategie is slowly being downgraded, but I’ll keep posting there.
And I’ll try and keep posting about stuff I find stimulating, because somebody has to do it, and for readers like you.
Thank you again!
