In the heart of the Sahara, the greatest threat isn’t the sun.
It’s the man wearing your uniform.
Sahara desert, 1940–1960. Legionnaire Teuns Stegmann, a battle-hardened soldier, is sent to Fort Murat, the French Foreign Legion’s most remote and godforsaken outpost. He finds a garrison rotting from the inside with apathy, ruled by a drunken commander and surrounded by men who are more criminal than soldier. It’s a powder keg waiting for a spark.
The spark arrives when a lone figure stumbles out of the endless desert, the commander’s long-lost brother, with a story that’s too heroic to be true. As mysterious tracks appear in the sand and the fort’s armoury is secretly emptied, Teuns realizes he’s trapped in a nest of vipers. A brutal conspiracy is unfolding, and the line between friend and foe is suddenly unclear.
Outnumbered and surrounded by traitors, Teuns and his few loyal friends must unravel the plot before the rebels make their final move. If they fail, they won’t just face a firing squad, they’ll be disarmed and abandoned to the merciless Sahara, where their honor and their lives will disappear in the warm desert sand.
A gritty, military thriller packed with suspense and classic action. Perfect for fans of Alistair MacLean and Jack Higgins who crave a relentless adventure where courage is tested and betrayal can show its ugly face at any time.
