Pipeline Adventure Paperback Book by Milt Machlin from Pyramid 1976
A SEARING EXPOSE OF HUMAN LUST FOR MONEY, FOR FLESH, FOR OIL!
Now, for the first time, an explosive novel of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline-a story that goes far behind the headlines to reveal the ruthless destruction of Alaska's virgin wilderness...the multi-million dollar greed of oil tycoons who buy and sell politicians to achieve their ends...and the men and women who battle nature and their own conflicting desires to build the PIPELINE.
You'll meet WILBUR STEELE, the empire-builder who leads America's oil companies in a plot to create a phony "oil crisis"
PENELOPE, his daughter, who seeks refuge in radical politics and free sex
...LARRY, Wilbur's son, struggling to get out of his corrupt father's shadow
...AL BRANDON, Wilbur's right-hand man-an ex- CIA operative who always gets what he wants. You'll feel the epic sadness of Takolik-an Eskimo whose heritage is stained with crude oil-and whose fiery rage compels him to revenge-to destroy the pipeline any way he can!
