FEEDBACK FROM THE BOOK:
Evelyn Alland
“THIS BOOK IS THE TRUTH – I know my son was there” -Evelyn Alland, Via Facebook
The Daily Beast
“John Konrad and Tom Shroder team up to deliver a compellingly gripping account of the disastrous Gulf oil spill… Together Konrad and Shroder deliver the best account yet of what went wrong." The Daily Beast Book Review
Los Angeles Times
“I’m well into ‘Fire on the Horizon.’ It’s the fifth book on the spill that I’ve read and wish I had read it first. Head and shoulders above the pack.” -Geoffrey Mohan, LA Times
Maritime Executive Magazine
“An extraordinary true-life adventure tale reminiscent of The Perfect Storm, Fire On The Horizon is a whole scale portrait of what went wrong that day last April. It is also a multifaceted look at deepwater drilling, replete with swashbuckling history, astonishing technology, and the disturbing vulnerabilities of this vital and little understood corner of our lives.” Maritime Executive Magazine
Sebastian Junger
“This has to be one of the best disaster books I’ve ever read."
