They were sent into the heart of an enemy fortress with a secret to sell.
But when the gates slam shut, the deadliest threat is a cruel queen who never forgets a face.
Sahara desert, 1940-1960. Sergeant Teuns Stegmann and his four elite Legionnaires are the French Foreign Legion’s last hope. Their mission. Go undercover, disguised as Arab arms smugglers, to penetrate the impregnable fortress-city of Doetra. They must expose a massive army gathering in secret, an army poised to sweep across the Sahara and slaughter every soldier in its path.
Their only passport is a revolutionary new rifle they must offer to the Doelaks’ ruthless sovereign, the beautiful and cunning Madame Brigitte Bonnet. But she is a woman whose memory is as sharp as her executioner’s sword. One wrong word, one slip in their disguise, means a torture worse than death as their unsuspecting comrades will then be wiped from the desert sands forever.
Fusing relentless action with knife-edge suspense, this epic Sahara thriller is a must-read for fans of Alistair MacLean, Wilbur Smith, and the pulse-pounding espionage of Jack Higgins.
