(0 ratings)
In 1968, one oil company was left drilling for oil on the North Slope of Alaska. All the big guns had given up and left the icy waste of this frozen desert. When the drill penetrated the lake of oil beneath the ice, so began what was described as the ‘second gold rush in Alaskan history’. Michael Parker has taken this historical fact and turned it into a brilliant thriller that penetrates the reader’s mind as keenly as the drill cut through the ice. Fyffe Oil, alone on the Slope is fighting against time and a ruthless killer who is determined to prevent the company succeeding. Andrew Fyffe, the owner, is desperate, and when his chief engineer is murdered, he has only one man he can turn to; Joshua McKinnon. But McKinnon is washed up; a drunk and a dropout. Fyffe drags him from the bars in Fairbanks and forces him to fly up to the rig. McKinnon soon learns that the killer is ruthless and will stop at nothing to prevent him finding oil. He can trust no-one and battles against the elements and the killer in a desperate race against time. NORTH SLOPE is a teeth chattering, nerve shattering novel set in an Arctic wasteland from a gifted writer.
