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. REVIEWS: “An absolute blast!

Thirty-three miles off the coast of San Clemente, California, a massive, futuristic oil rig called "The City" is populated with workers and even shops, apartments, theaters, and restaurants. Fully operational, there’s just one problem. It has yet to strike oil. Dependent on external energy, instead of its planned wind and solar power, it becomes imperative that oil be discovered as soon as possible. The City is bleeding money...and fast. Subsidies are running out and the oil rig project is attracting the negative attention of environmentalists. The City’s marine biologists, Joy Harper and Wes Canfield, are the perfect foils for each other, personally and professionally. Joy has a thing for Wes, not that he notices. Also on the research team is Dave, their nerdy tech support guy with a thing for Joy. Their job is to dive deep under the rig and take soil and water samples before drilling commences each day. With no oil in sight, the location is scrapped and plans are made to move the rig. Enter Sheila Briggs, a meteorologist and expert on tornadoes. A senator who has her in his back pocket asks her to go to The City to check out their research. Meanwhile, an activist wants to prove that the project is an environmental disaster and, with his dubious cohorts, makes a plan to expose the debacle. Only, things don't go as planned. And, just as the danger heats up, the unexpected happens! The clock is always ticking on this exciting adventure thriller that has an eclectic ensemble cast with different agendas and the skills, motives, and opportunities to carry them out. But which faction will prevail? And will The City thrive and survive? Will they? This is the first book in a new adventure thriller series with great characters, passionate politics and scientific intrigue, and a bit of romance. REVIEWS: “An absolute blast!
