Raves and Reviews

Blowout is a riveting true story, the stuff of which legends are made.

– Midwest Book Review

Weaves in a great deal of history about oil exploration, boating and the ferocious weather on the North Sea.

– Today's Librarian

Written more in the style of a novel, this is a true story based on real events...highly recommended.

– The Seafarer

Orrell's style is engaging and immediate, something of Alastair Maclean perhaps, except...that this is not fiction...
