Empty Quarter
Empty Quarter
Nominated for the Carnegie Award 2009

From: Stingo, SAS Secret training base
I woke to find your face splashed across the front pages & U R supposed to B in hiding! What the hell R U doing getting mixed up with the US President's out of control daughter?
From: Darcie Lock, afloat in the Mediterranean
Things R not how the press reported it. Don't know Y I'm here but 1 thing's certain: my so-called cruise is headed into stormy waters.
Darcie's stuck aboard a cruise ship for problem rich kids. It sounds exotic but it’s more like boot camp. Things are about to get interesting though... Darcie becomes embroiled in a kidnapping plot that will take her from Naples, via Cyprus, to Egypt and on a terrifying journey through the desert empty quarter.
An adventure-thriller starring Darcie Lock.

Hi Will you ever do a page like Cat's where Darcie can answer questions, or David or Connie or Tashi and Ramil? That would be fun! (But I'd never have time to write! Julia)

I got this book after reading the Companions Quartet, and I ordered Ringmaster but it won't be in for two weeks! Would it spoil the storyline for me if I read this one before Ringmaster? Thanks, Eimear. You could read it out of order but if you can resist, I'd wait for Ringmaster. Julia

This book is brilliant!! I ordered it as soon as I could and read it in 1 day!!!!! The only problem now is i have to wait about half a century until Deadlock comes out. Ah well.

Will Shelly and Jon Lee appear in any of the other books? I was just wondering because they have bold characteristics and things. Ok, bye xxx (Not sure yet. J)
