like the scanner to diagnose illnesses or the SCUBAPS. I mean, who wouldn’t want to explore the ocean depths without a submersible at 12,000 feet? Okay, I know there are some people that wouldn’t. Anyways, however improbable many of the inventions in Oceania (not to mention the city itself), I spent weeks researching what would be needed to sustain an underwater city with millions of people to make the novel as realistic as possible.

In a world that spends hundreds of millions more on space science than on ocean science, I hope I have inspired some of you to consider a future where part of humanity may live under the sea than in the far reaches of outer space. It’s a shame that we know more about space than our own oceans, which make up over seventy percent of our entire planet. Hopefully, our world will reach a consensus that researching our own planet is just as important as researching the galaxy.

About the Author

Eliza Taye has always had an insatiable desire for stories of any kind, whether they be books, audiobooks, video games, films, or plays. If it has a story element to it, she enjoys it. After obtaining a marine science degree, she became inspired to write sci-fi in addition to the fantasy stories she wrote growing up. Two material things Eliza could never live without: books and music. She never leaves the house without at least one book and a way to listen to music. Music fuels her passion for storytelling, allowing her to daydream that she’s defeating bad guys, exploring unknown worlds, or wielding swords of destiny, when in reality, she’s just writing about it. She writes sci-fi, fantasy, and action adventure novels for young adults.

Eliza loves to hear from her readers! You can visit her at elizataye.com, email her at [email protected], or connect with her on Goodreads and Twitter.
