Adrenalin junkie, oil rigger, motorbike fanatic, madman . . . Paul
Carter, author of
Don't Tell Mum I Work on the Rigs, She Thinks I'm
a Piano Player in a Whorehouse, is back with more (mostly) good
clean stories of life on the rigs.
Carter writes as if he has ADD, careering through his life on oil rigs
in exotic locations. He won't win the Booker, but his yarns burn with
anarchic energy ... in a word, irrepressible.' -

He's back on the rigs and back in trouble.
Picking up right where he left off, Paul Carter pulls out more tall
tales of a mad, bad and dangerous life in the international oil trade.
Starting with action and mayhem galore
This Is Not A Drill sets
an unrelenting pace that just doesn't let up, as Paul almost drowns
when the Russian rig he's working on begins to capsize; is reunited
with his Dad - another adrenaline junkie; gets married; hangs out with
his rig pig buddies in exotic locations; gets hammered on vodka in
Sakhalin; and spends a couple of interesting weeks in Afghanistan with
some mates who run an outfit that just happens to contract out
mercenaries for hire ...
This is the next fast, furious and very funny book from Paul Carter,
the author of the bestselling
Don't Tell Mum I Work on the Rigs,
She Thinks I'm a Piano Player in a Whorehouse.
