Fire in the Night: The Piper Alpha Disaster

Tragic real-life offshore oil rig disaster account.

This book draws you into the midst of a devastating true story with both sensitivity and depth. If you're someone who gravitates towards real-life heroism, harrowing survival, and critical looks at industrial safety, "Fire in the Night" will grip you with its detailed recounting of the Piper Alpha disaster, the world's deadliest offshore oil rig accident. It's a respectful tribute to the victims, a cautionary tale about safety complacency, and an engrossing narrative that honours the bravery of those affected.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
