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.
