Free (Kindle) Nicor! by Peter Tremayne [Oil Rig Crew vs Sea Monster Horror Thriller]

ATDrake · 05-23-2017, 03:50 AM

Nicor! by British author Peter Tremayne (ISFDB, Wikipedia), perhaps best known as the author of the popular Sister Fidelma mystery series, is his standalone monster horror thriller, this one pitting the crew of an oil rig in the Caribbean against a deep sea creature that may or may not also be a demon, free for a limited time courtesy of publisher Endeavour Press' Venture imprint.

This was originally published in 1987 by Sphere.

Currently free @ Amazon (available to Canadians & in the UK and pretty much everywhere else Amazon sells worldwide, since this is being done via their KDP Select exclusive-or-else program)

Description
Nicor the mythical water demon…

The monsters straddled the bay, giant black rowers, spurring flame far into the tropical night. From the belly of each a long, sharp proboscis stabbed down into the sea bed…

Oil rigs. Slashing, whirling teeth biting greedily into the ocean floor, sucking deeply of its secrets. Secrets that should have remained forever buried in those peaceful waters.

Oscar Blumen, a drilling superintendent is working aboard one such oil rig - ES 127. A semi-submersible anchored in the Caribbean Sea.

His job, and the job of his fellow employees aboard the oil rig, is to drill a new hole…

For in those Caribbean depths lurked something beyond the feeble powers of man, an abomination that the oilmen's relentless probing would provoke into a violent frenzy of retribution and surging…

Amid murders, disappearances, police investigations and mysterious attacks on the oil rig itself, the crew must fight for their lives against a seemingly unreal and unbelievable monster…

Love a good sea monster story. The title having an exclamation point in it is a plus.
