About the Book

Every member of the Special Ops US Air Force pararescue jumpers, the PJs, swears by the motto “That Others May Live.” A top-secret mission to save a kidnapped Saudi princess will put that oath to the ultimate test. With a force of armed men, a former mujahideen chases across the desert of Yemen to recover his Saudi wife, kidnapped by her powerful father, a prince of the Kingdom. The kidnapping turns violent, she is badly wounded, and the PJs are dropped into the vast sere badlands to rescue the princess and a young American diplomat swept up in the plot. The mission becomes a minute-by-minute race between the pursuing husband’s band of tribal allies and the PJs rushing to the rescue, as the princess’s life seeps away. The Empty Quarter is a pulse-quickening tour de force featuring the tactics and men of modern combat search-and-rescue and the complex politics of today’s Arabian peninsula. It’s a moving tale of desperate love and sacrifice set in the wastes of the Rub’ al Khali, the world’s largest and harshest sand desert.

Review :
“David Robbins is a master and The Empty Quarter is proof. Nobody writes a better action book...nobody.” —Brian Haig, New York Times bestselling author of The Capitol Game “A military thriller, a love story and a geopolitical tale...Robbins uses his superior knowledge of military and global affairs in concocting a page-turner of a plot, one in which the line between heroes and villains is blurred, the art of betrayal is practiced with dexterity, and the complex relationship between the CIA and the Saudi government is examined with a keen eye.” —Richmond Times-Dispatch
