Thanks for the comments everyone.
I'm not familiar with that, so no - it began (I introduced the original story in an earlier chapter) as a fusion of "The War of the Worlds" with "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea". There was also an element borrowed from an idea @GBW had about doing Turtledove's Worldwar during the American Civil War but with a rising Atlantis with WW1 technology instead of aliens with 90s technology in WW2..I like the Ondine! New stock races that arise in AH are one of my favorite aspects to the genre. Inspired by War With the Newts, I presume?
