| 2009-11-18 | pete doree | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Hi Sue, thanks for such a quick response. Alas, I don't think that's the book I'm thinking of. Never mind, I'll keep looking. Thanks again. Pete |
| 2009-11-04 | Douglas | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you ever so much for your answer. I have tried to find the title of this book off and on for months, in other venues, and never had any success until now. This book prompted me to become a fan of SciFi writing for years as a child and I am just now (I'm currently 64) going back to this earlier delight. Your being referred to as an "expert" is a truly deserved appelation. |
| 2009-11-01 | Mary | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Great suggestion - found it after not too long a google search - from an imdb user comment. The book is "The Watch Below" by James White. Apparently it was a cargo ship, not a submarine. |

| 2009-09-24 | chris | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Very generous of you to include all the collections that have the story you guessed it might be! This is not what I was looking for - definitely a novel and maybe more than 30 years old. But I appreciate you just the same! |
| 2009-09-13 | Catherine | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you so much for the prompt reply and list of books/authors. |

| 2009-07-08 | Julia | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you so much for your help, I will get right on these books and hopefully find some more on my own. And yes I did mean action driven, silly me. What is a book without a plot....reality t.v- Thanks again! |
| 2009-07-07 | Bill | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Sue: Finally got around to checking the email. That is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for your help! Bill |
| 2009-06-23 | Cecil | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Sue: The people at the MIT link you gave me (mitsfs@mit.edu) told me to ask you to refer questions like mine to yasid@mit.edu instead of to them. (YASID means "Yea, Another Story IDentified.) Hope this gets to you. Dr Taylor |

| 2009-06-12 | Steve | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you. It was a shot in the dark, this has been going on for years. I appreciate your expertise, I read several of your posts and was quite intrigued by your answers. Thanks again. |
| 2009-06-10 | Cecil | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you for all of the above. Dr Cecil Taylor |
| 2009-05-29 | Rick | 8 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks, I read the The Dosadi Experiment by Frank Herbert and it was not quite the one I was thinking of. I think the one I am remembering was probably in the mid to late 60's whereas Dosadi was published in 1977. Thanks for your help. It was wothr a try anyway. |
