They took the job to escape the world.
They didn't expect the world to end.
Kasker Rampart: a derelict refinery platform moored in the Arctic Ocean. A skeleton crew of fifteen fight boredom and despair as they wait for a relief ship to take them home.

My thoughts
So this will be my second "end of the world" book in a row but its ok, you all know i love my dystopia! It does, however, actually sound a little different to the books I generally read so I'm looking forward to reading something a bit different and it sounds awesome and exciting and seems like one of those ones that's actually a bit scary because it could really happen.
What are you reading?
