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.

Some aspects of the book are okay but most of this book is hohum. There isn't much here to get excited about, so if you see another title that looks interesting I would move on to that title.

Just okay

very good narration - guy had all the voices down. I would have liked the book better if it was more about the pararescuers, less about about Arab intrigues.

wish it had been more about the PJs

This was among my first stories about middle east missions and it was good. Nothing extremely original, but a straightforward good guys and bad guys story. I enjoyed the use of insiders lingo. The writer did a good job of using soldiers' lingo and explaining it deftly without it sounding forced. Also great, gory detail of a field surgery. Eww cool!

Enjoyable military story

This story is about a US Special Ops group that gets little attention: the Air Force pararescue jumpers. The setting is Yemen where a Saudi princess has been kidnapped.

Worthwhile military rescue story
