Strap yourself in for an exhilarating, crazed, sometimes terrifying, frequently bloody funny ride through one man's adventure in the oil trade and on some of the toughest rigs on the planet. *Also appeared in Nov/Dec Buyer's Notes*
Synopsis
Taking postings in some of the world's wildest and most remote regions, not to mention some of the roughest rigs, Paul Carter has worked, and got into trouble, in locations as far-flung as the North Sea, as exotic as Sumatra, and as flat-out dangerous as Columbia, Nigeria and Russia. Here, he tells his stories.
