Bieber releases ‘Moon over the Midnight Sun’

Author Craig Bieber, former M-I Swaco Alaska manager and prior Petroleum Club of Anchorage president, has released his third book,

“Moon over the Midnight Sun” continues the story of the influential Saylor family in Alaska by bringing in Nick and Beth’s younger sibling, Chris Saylor, as the protagonist. It also allowed the author to put some emphasis on the industry he was involved in for more than 30 years in the state.

In typical Saylor fashion Chris parlays his drive, his work ethic, his intelligence and his common sense into a success story in Alaska’s oil industry.

From the rig floor on a Shublik drilling rig to the board room, Chris rises to become a vice president and part owner of a mid-level and privately owned oil company.

Along the way the committed bachelor is surprisingly overwhelmed by a lovely, down-to-earth woman.

It is the first of several surprises impacting his life.

He is mentored by oil company CEO Burton Marts

And befriended by roughneck Rusty Ferraree, both of whom will influence the man he will become.

Throughout the story Mart’s beautiful, middle-aged wife Jane is interwoven with a cast of bizarre characters who will dramatically change many people’s lives. When Chris reaches a comfortable place as a key player in the growth of the oil company he works for, he is surprised by an unexpected development. An amazing technology few people have heard of, and the vindictive agenda of the owner of the company that owns it, enters the story and Chris becomes the unlikely leader of the effort to stop it.

Through it all several members of an Alaska Native village corporation sit quietly in the background waiting for the raven.

You can order the book through Amazon or Barnes and Noble.
