Comments
Michael Randall is a man in a hurry. Desperate to succeed, he seeks his fortune in the oil sands far beneath the North Sea.
At the story's center is the Northstar, an obsolete and dangerous drilling platform anchored precariously off the Shetland Islands. This is where Randall takes his stand.
"Innes is a master storyteller. The vividness of his settings, the shaping of his characters and the control of his plots all contribute to a fantastic body of fiction...." (B-O-T Editorial Review Board)
