Publisher's Summary
Best seller in Australia with extensive media coverage.
A 'take no prisoners' approach to life has seen Paul Carter heading to some of the world's most remote, wild and dangerous places as a contractor in the oil business. Amazingly, he's survived (so far) to tell these stories from the edge of civilization, and reason. Taking postings in some of the world's wildest and most remote regions, not to mention some of the roughest oil rigs on the planet, Paul has worked, gotten into trouble and been given serious talkings to in locations as far-flung as the North Sea, Middle East, Borneo and Tunisia, as exotic as Sumatera, Vietnam and Thailand, and as flat out dangerous as Columbia, Nigeria and Russia, with some of the maddest, baddest and strangest people you could ever hope not to meet.

Awesome
I read this years ago and followed up with his other books. This came up as a daily deal and I couldn’t resist having a listen. It is a great experience hearing the book read by the author. Highly recommended.

Great story and quite funny!
This book is a great insight into what I imagine it would be like working on a rig. Very real and frank in his description of the locations he has worked, which makes it quite funny and very entertaining.

Funny as.
This was a great listen after already reading Ride like hell. Great tails and when you're travelling through WA it makes more sense.

Hilarious and entertaining
I thoroughly enjoyed this book many years ago and was delighted to see it on Audible. Having it narrated by the author made it even funnier - if that is possible! Great stuff!
