Robert Collinson spent his early years in his home town of Edinburgh and had many different jobs before finally, at the age of 22, he moved north to Aberdeenshire to pursue a career in the oil industry. After many years of working on and offshore, for various operators and service companies alike, he began consulting on an international basis, travelling extensively to work and to fulfil his contractual requirements. This allowed him to gain a broader understanding of the operations that would increase his knowledge of oilfield operations, and ultimately diversify his experience. Forty years later, he retired and decided to recall the memories of his adventures at home and abroad, and began to document some of the stories that had formed part of his career. www.robertcollinson.com
A time of change. The changes had already occurred, so perhaps further changes were needed? A step out into a world where lifestyles and cultures had been dictated long ago and nothing had really changed at all.
For the people it was simply a matter of survival and they had perfected that throughout their history, in the same traditional way that they always had, they fought. They continued to fight and they always would, it was simply their way.
A stranger emerges, a foreigner, one with different values and ethics. One who could perhaps help them to initiate the changes that they needed? Only time would tell.
He however, was totally unaware of what was about to befall, he had never been told any of the background, just sent there to do a job and fulfil the role that management required of him. He had been chosen specifically because of his character, his people skills, his empathy and perhaps even because of his naivety. He was about to discover many truths, very few to his liking…
The adventure continues as the bold heroine of Zhetybay emerges to reveal her true character.
Forceful but gentle, determined yet compassionate; but is she really as Matt imagined?
They thought the worst was over, and that the fear and horror was all behind them, believing that they were about to embark on a happy and peaceful life together.
Some people most certainly had other ideas about what their future would entail, and as dangers from the past resurface to confront them, the obstacles increase accordingly.
Their latest adventure takes them into a new arena where boardroom politics and hidden agendas replace “hands-on” operations, but the underlying threats remain as serious as ever.
