Innocent Bystander follows an ordinary man’s adventures to the edge of the abyss through the lens of risk and consequences. A white-knuckle epic, the book is a true account of facing grave danger with humour, hope and optimism that weaves a spectacular tapestry from the role they play in everyday life and the wider world of cultures we live amidst.
A story produced by the offshore oil industry that flows around the globe, Innocent Bystander is seat-of-your-pants thriller that confronts all-manner of catastrophes and events that will live in global infamy [such as Piper Alpha disaster, Vargas tragedy, Al-Khobar massacre] as we journey with Murfy gaining knowledge, building perspective and critical thinking skills on an expedition of the globe and the extremes of the human experience.
Adventure, drama, irony, comedy and horror – but most of all humour – Innocent Bystander is a swash-buckling, globetrotting yet thought-provoking and heart-rendering roller-coaster of optimism in the face of calamity that brings life-lessons from the abyss but leaves knowledge, resilience, empathy and a broader appreciation of the world-at-large and the risks in everyday living.
