Gavin is creating a unique 'holiday experience'; every facility any tourist who hates going abroad could want will be available on a converted North Sea oil rig. To test the facilities he's hosting a reunion for his old school — none of his ex-classmates can remember him, but what the heck, it's free. He is so busy showing off that he doesn't notice another group has invited themselves along — a collection of terrorist mercenaries who are more often a danger to themselves than to the public. They, in turn, are unaware that Inspector MacGregor has caught wind of their activities. Within twenty-four hours Gavin's dream has been blown to the four winds, along with many other things. Fast, rabidly funny, and seriously over the top.
