Flames across the Sands

A perfumed letter from a mysterious woman.

Is it a warning that could save the French Foreign Legion… or lead a hardened soldier to his doom?

Sahara desert, 1940–1960. For Teuns Stegmann, a battle-scarred Legionnaire, life is a brutal cycle of sand, sun, and survival. But when a mysterious letter arrives from Algiers, carrying the scent of an unknown woman and a desperate plea, the monotony of the desert shatters. The letter is an invitation into a world of shadow and secrets he thought he’d left behind.

The sender, the beautiful and enigmatic Elsa Moram, tells an unbelievable story. A secret Arab plot to build a rocket base in the heart of the Sahara, a weapon powerful enough to annihilate the Legion without a single shot fired. While his superiors laugh off the warning, Teuns sees a burning thirst for vengeance in her eyes, a thirst that mirrors his own.

To trust her is to risk walking into a deadly trap. To ignore her is to condemn thousands of his comrades to a fiery grave. With only his loyal friends at his back, Teuns must go rogue, defying his commanders to chase a whisper of a threat into an unforgiving wasteland where betrayal is as common as the sand and the price of failure is a slow, agonizing death.

Flames Across the Desert is a relentless action-adventure thriller packed with classic espionage, brutal desert warfare, and a mystery that will keep you guessing until the final, explosive page. Perfect for fans of Alistair MacLean and classic French Foreign Legion adventures.
