Book Synopsis
Robert Orrell recounts the brutality and immense danger of life on an oil rig.

Trade Review
Blowout is a riveting true story, the stuff of which legends are made. * Midwest Book Review *
Weaves in a great deal of history about oil exploration, boating and the ferocious weather on the North Sea. * Today's Librarian *
Written more in the style of a novel, this is a true story based on real events...highly recommended. * The Seafarer *
Orrell's style is engaging and immediate, something of Alastair Maclean perhaps, except...that this is not fiction... * Petroleum Review *
