Escape is impossible.
An old oil platform that had been converted into the world's first floating rehabilitation center. The Rig was actually five platforms, one at each point of the compass, connected by networks of metal walkways and orange pipes, and a final platform in the middle of the structure. From the air, the Rig was shaped almost like a diamond.
The Rig is a Young Adult novel by Joe Ducie with clear science fiction elements about a teenage convict sent to the most secure location on Earth... because he's escaped from everywhere else.
There are currently 2 novels in the series:
