In this fast-paced second installment of THE RIG trilogy by Steve Rollins, the aftermath of the explosion that rocked the massive oil rig called “The City” leaves many dead or injured, but the danger is not yet over. The rig is on fire, and people are trapped. Terrorists are on board, too, trying to finish the job.
Elly Boukhari, a TV reporter, wants her network’s news helicopter to fly over the rig so she can get live footage, but the Coast Guard imposes a five-mile limit for journalists with a shoot-down order for violators—a mysterious agent on board is less than forthcoming about details.
Assuming the rig explosion and fires were caused by an industrial accident, one of the rig’s marine biologists, Joy Harper, and her co-worker, Dave, are shocked when they hear an announcement over the rig’s P/A system that there is a terrorist on board and that FBI agents are on board, too, trying to apprehend him.
Sheila Briggs, a meteorologist, and Wes Canfield, the other marine biologist, hear the same announcement. Rather than hunker down and shelter as they were told, she and Wes try to escape the burning death trap that is belowdecks.
Now panicked after he, too, hears the announcement, the suspected terrorist has to escape the real terrorists before they silence him. Forever.
As they all hope for escape from the massive inferno, there is just one way off the rig, and more than a few people know of it...
The clock is always ticking on this exciting adventure thriller starring a dynamic ensemble cast with different agendas and the skills, motives, and opportunities to carry them out. But which faction will prevail? And who will survive?
This is the second in an adventure thriller trilogy series with great characters, plenty of danger, action and suspense, political intrigue, and very high stakes.
