I don't remember his science fiction being set there either. I thought an obituary posted here stated something like that.I think most of the Starks were set in undisclosed American locations. One was set on a boat in the southwest. Its immediate Grofield sequel, THE DAMSEL, is set in Mexico.
I would say any Westiake work is worth reading If I still had my copy of GANGWAY, I'd send it to you.

That would've been a very uninformed assertion... the TRUST ME ON
THIS/WEEKLY GALAXY sequence alone would've given the lie. I think
I've heard of GANGWAY, but that does sound like one I should seek out
sooner.
