A Californian paramedic answers an advertisement for contract work at a military hospital in Saudi Arabia. So his adventure begins.

Working on the private medical staff of King Abdullah, no western writer has ever been this close to the "House of Saud".

From meetings between King Abdullah and Yasser Arafat to the death of Edi Amin the author documents it all. Themes explored include the contrast of cultures and the rise of terrorism in a post 9/11 world. The author's unique and often humorous perspective provides a view of Saudi society that has never before been documented by any other book in this genre. The author gives an important insight to events that continue to affect the world today.
