The Rig by Joe Ducie

Book Review:

Will Drake has already escaped from three prisons when he is sent to a high-security prison in the Arctic Ocean called "The Rig.  Though no one has escaped from the prison Will starts to make plans within days of his incarceration.  All is not what it seems on the rig as it is being used as a under-cover mining operation.  They are mining a mysterious Chrystal-X, which gives super-powers to people exposed to it.

The story has lots of action, great characters and the setting is dramatic leaving you with the sense of brutality and desolation.  A throughly good read and if you liked the Cherub series you should love this book.  

Check out the cover on our Shelfari bookshelf down on the right-hand side.
