Picking Up The Pieces J R Euen

'PICKING UP THE PIECES' This is the second book in 'The Casualty List' triology by J. R. Euen. In J. R. Euen's second novel in 'The Casualty List' triology, the main character, Jim Stewart, finds himself in unusual, sometime dangerous situations, in diverse parts of the world when investigating shipping disasters. A Clyde Puffer lying aground in Loch Erisort in the Outer Hebrides is in danger of breaking up, but encounters more danger when it is refloated in dense fog... An unexploded Exocet missile in the cargo tank of a fully loaded oil tanker in the Persian Gulf calls for a low teck solution to a high teck problem in a highly volatile situation... A journey in a rickety wooden launch is the only means available to reach a cargo ship lying aground off Sherbro Island in Sierra Leone, West Africa; abandoned by the crew, the captain is bedridden with untreated dysentery in urgent need of medical attention. Transporting a sick man ashore is no mean feat... When Jim Stewart finds he is under arrest by the Iranian Navy on a loaded supertanker anchored off Iran's Sirri Island, the tension mounts to breaking point as the crew become restless and the guard on the gangway cocks his automatic weapon threateningly. These are some of the dangerous situations Jim Stewart has to deal with in the second novel in 'THE CASUALTY LIST' trilogy...
