Description: In this outrageous sequel to Don't Tell Mum I Work on the Rigs (She Thinks I'm a Piano Player in a Whorehouse), Paul Carter picks up right where he left off, and pulls out more adventures from a mad, bad and dangerous life in the international oil trade. Packed with action and mayhem galore, This Is Not a Drill cracks along at an unrelenting pace. In this fast, furious and very funny book, 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 buddies in exotic locations; gets hammere.
