Arabian Night Patrol

Arabian Night Patrol

Author(s): Ian Thewlis

Location(s): Saudi Arabia

Genre(s): Thriller

Era(s): 1991

Saudi Arabia – a desert oil camp during the 1991 Gulf War and genesis of the War on Terror. Fighter jets screech overhead, air raid sirens blare over the call of the muezzin and duels between Scud and Patriot missiles illuminate the night sky.
In the tradition of Graham Greene and John Le Carre, this political thriller explores the conflicting perspectives and loyalties of Westerners and Arabs under the pressures of war and terrorist attacks.
‘The Middle East is a snake pit,’ says Rick, the camp’s security boss. ‘We can’t be Boy Scouts in this war.’
