From Driller to Bullcatcher - Steve Parker - Bog

Life begins when you join the oil field.
But there was life before that.
JC challenged the highway stormtroopers of a Distant Queensland Town on a Daring Mission - Where a Thirst for Life Became overridden by the Power of Beer!
Farm chores sure could be dull, and JC was bored beyond belief. He yearned for adventures in the outback - and adventures that would take him beyond the farthest shores to distant and icy landscapes.
But JC got more than he bargained for when he was intercepted by a QLD police officer and given a cryptic ultimatum to leave a beautiful town operating under a dark and powerful authority. JC didn't know why this was, but he knew he had to save himself - and soon, because time was running out.
Armed only with courage and with the skills taught to him by his father, JC was catapulted into the middle of the most dangerous deep-sea drilling platforms ever...and he was headed straight for a desperate encounter on the Russian Nogliki station many know as the Death Star!
