Easily one of his most-readable!

This book is about oil rigs and one man, Lord Worth, who owns one of the biggest, the Seawitch. To destroy it and therefore be able to inflate the price of oil, the competitors get together and send one man to deal with Lord Worth. He, unfortunately (for him, that is), has a personal score to settle with Worth and sets about kidnapping his daughters. Enter our heroes, Mitchell and Roomer, former cops and betrothed of the girls. They set about foiling the villain's plans and try and save Worth and his daughters from certain death. Why, you ask? Oh, I must have forgotten to mention that the Villain robbed a nuclear weapons armory, and that he intends to leave Worth and all his people on the rig when he destroys it with the nuclear weapon! A first-class book!
