Because what better place to launch a novel set offshore than out on the water itself.

In this gripping literary thriller, a woman takes command of a remote offshore oil rig where pressure, power, and survival collide. Zainab arrives on the rig ready to prove herself in a world built on hierarchy and control, where she is the only woman in charge. But as small mistakes begin to mount and systems start to fail, it becomes clear something is deeply wrong beneath the surface.

Drawing on Y.M. Abdel-Magied’s real-life experience as a mechanical engineer in the oil and gas industry, and inspired by the legacy of the Deepwater Horizon disaster, At Sea is a tense and atmospheric novel about leadership, isolation, and what happens when control slips away.Join us for an unforgettable evening on the water as we celebrate the arrival of this bold and timely new novel.

Each ticket includes one paperback copy of At Sea by Y.M. Abdel-Magied. Additional copies will be available for sale aboard the Obsession III.
