This Is Not a Drill 
by Paul Carter

Carter writes as if he has ADD, careering through his life on oil rigs in exotic locations.
 
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.

"He won't win the Booker, but his yarns burn with anarchic energy ... in a word, irrepressible."
- Herald Sun
 
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.

Keep up to date with Paul's latest adventures, bike riding around Australia on a bio-fuelled bike!
