Twenty-four nautical miles off the coast of Vancouver Island, a self-propelled underwater playground called New Holland has just opened to the public. An ancient family fortune rides on every decision made by Mick Kugler, who struggles to keep an even keel as the manager of a facility that must remain strictly in international waters. As New Holland begins its global cruise, Mick strives to keep the attention of the civilized world focused on the resort's most predictable offerings: sex, drugs, and gambling. But as word spreads concerning gladiatorial contests, a suicide clinic, and the sale of human organs, Mick realizes that two dozen miles of ocean buffer will not be enough to protect him from a rising tide of moral outrage. Threatened by grandstanding politicians, zealous clergy, uncompromising animal rights activists, territorial drug kingpins, self-promoting journalists, and an international medical research conglomerate intent on recovering its stolen technology, New Holland's maiden voyage seems doomed to fail. Infighting among the crew isn't helping. Fortunately for Mick, his wife Ruth has a plan, and if a team-building exercise for the senior members of the crew doesn't turn into full-fledged mutiny, she might just be able to put that plan into action. The City that Traveled the World will transport the reader to a submerged sanctuary of sin beyond any national jurisdiction. It is the second in a series of near-future science fiction novels concerning the colonization of the ocean.
