One man’s treason doomed the French Foreign Legion.
Another’s courage is its only salvation.
Sahara desert, 1940–1960. A brilliant Arab warlord, a cunning act of betrayal, and a single forged order are all it takes to lure 1,800 soldiers into a Sahara death trap. Colonel Le Clerq’s garrison marches toward a phantom military exercise, unaware they are surrounded by thousands of warriors thirsting for blood, leaving their fortress, the legendary Dini Salam, defended by only 200 men. The Legion’s extinction is all but assured.
When the resourceful Private Teuns Stegmann uncovers the plot, he becomes the enemy’s most valuable pawn. Captured and facing a gruesome death, he’s forced to lead a column of disguised killers through the gates of the undermanned fortress. His choice will either save the last bastion of the Legion or be the instrument of its final, bloody doom.
As the main army runs out of bullets and the walls of Dini Salam begin to crumble under a relentless siege, Stegmann realizes survival isn’t enough. He must attempt an impossible, unsanctioned mission across a war-torn desert to deliver ammunition to a dying army. If he fails, the Sahara will swallow the Legion whole.
A relentless military thriller packed with classic adventure, this story is a non-stop barrage of battlefield action and nail-biting suspense. Perfect for fans of Alistair MacLean and epic tales of desert warfare.
