About this listen

Drive-by shootings, drug overdoses, and multi-car accidents—as a paramedic, he thought he had seen it all, until he answered a small job advertisement that changed his life forever.

Welcome to the mysterious world of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, one of the most fundamentalist Islamic countries on the globe. Working as a paramedic at the only level one trauma center in the Middle East, he found his skills and knowledge tested to the limit on a daily basis.

Later recruited to the medical team of Crown Prince Abdullah Ibin Abdul Aziz Al Saud, the now reigning King of Saudi Arabia, he was drawn into a world of palaces and princes, limousines an Learjets. His adventure had only begun.

This is a riveting, factual account of an American paramedic's extraordinary experience inside a country seldom seen by the outside world.

This felt like listening to a friend telling you his experience working in Saudi Arabia. You get to understand their culture from an outsider's perspective, covering everything from landscape, wealth, power structure, fundamentalism, and men and women's life under the regime.

There is no deep journalistic analysis, just enough information to be able to picture the everyday life of the coyntry. But you can start anywhere in the book and still enjoy this.

I loved this listen. Well written and kept me captivated as to what happened next. Some things beyond my comprehension in a land that favours men and suppresses women. I hope there is another book from this author.
I really found the narration by Fajer Al-Kaisi very easy to listen to with a nice American accent.
