1. SAHARA ADVENTURE SERIES — WITCH OF THE SAHARA
The first story in the Sahara Adventure series introduces Teuns Stegmann, a South African who joined the French Foreign Legion in the Sahara Desert with the intention of avenging his brother’s death, and various other characters. The story begins with the fortunate survival of a legionnaire who had been attacked by Arabs in the desert, and who describes a white woman as the mastermind behind the attack on the French patrol.
In response, Colonel Le Clerq of Fort Dini Salam orders an immediate retaliation and dispatches his loyal Captain D’Arlan, along with two hundred men, including Teuns and his companions, to crush the power of the so-called “white witch” in the Atlas Mountains before she can shed more French blood. However, the column soon finds itself in serious trouble as they are cornered by the Dulacs in the desert and left without a single drop of water to drink.
As if that is not enough, they are later coerced into working in a radioactive Uranium mine, and some of them are even sent to the dreaded “Hill of the Eagles.” Will Teuns’s expertise and the ingenious problem-solving skills of D’Arlan, who is known as “the Houdini of the desert,” be enough to extricate them from their dire circumstances? Read the captivating story to uncover the answer for yourself.
