With oil reserves steadfastly nearing depletion while demand constantly increases, oil prices are hitting record highs. Oil exploration is big business and everyone wants a piece of it before it all dries up. Some people have half jokingly questioned if governments and big business were part of some sort of conspiracy to keep oil prices high. If only they knew the truth.
The Neptune Consortium takes a fictional look into the oil industry and all its hidden facets. The action of the book starts with the investigation of the crash of a Naval transport plane. This investigation leads to some rather astonishing findings and some conspiracy theories that are almost unspeakable.
With high oil prices and constant warnings about oil reserve depletion in the nightly news, The Neptune Consortium discusses a very hot topic with lot of very intriguing what ifs.
