ROB MADDEN HAS A SCORE TO SETTLE, AND HE IS SAVING VENGEANCE FOR MAXIMUM IMPACT.

"Do you hear me, Rob? We know who killed your wife and daughters and where they are."

Rob Madden, still holding the cell phone in his shaking hands, tried to grasp what DEA Special Agent Bonnie McCord has just said. Three years ago, his wife and two young daughters were brutally murdered by terrorists as payback for his Special Operations drone strikes on al-Qaeda leaders in Yemen.

For Madden, the call halted his plan to complete his doctorate degree in education and triggered a clandestine mission back to the dusty and dangerous oil fields of Yemen for revenge, courtesy of the United States Air Force. Saving Vengeance will have you on the edge of your seat as the unlikely Special Forces team navigates treacherous encounters and high risk maneuvers to find and punish the killers.

This suspense story is set in dangerous and unstable Yemen in January through December of 2009, well before the Yemen revolution and the Arab Spring. Although this latest adventure of Rob Madden is historical fiction, I have attempted to portray the locale, circumstances, and characters as authentically as possible.

Critical to this story are true, real life terrorist groups that at this period occupied Yemen including: al-Qaeda of the Arabian Peninsula, Shi'a Houthis, and the Islamic State (ISIL). All of the terrorists' personal names mentioned on this novel are strictly fictional, but their actions and affiliations are very real. Of note, many of the 176 terrorists released by the Yemeni government were at one time prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and their terroristic acts continue today.

Although many actions and situations described are fictional, our military members, plus our allied partners, face grave dangers everyday attempting to restore peace and stability in the deadly chaos of Yemen.
