Thank ye kindly.

Unfortunately, no.  SURVIVOR surfaced in Australia only briefly, and at
a time when I couldn't afford it.  I'm still trying to track down a copy
locally.

I liked it quite a lot.  I think there are a few similarities between it
and MONSTERS, actually; if you liked it, you'll like GLAMORAMA.

You're right.  I did do a review, and it's in the archives somewhere.
