Left to die under the scorching sun, their only hope was a lie.
A lie that would lead them to a man more dangerous than the desert itself.
Sahara desert, 1940–1960. When Professor Lesseps and his daughter Marie are betrayed and abandoned in the unforgiving Sahara, their final gamble for survival backfires spectacularly. Their plea for help at a remote Foreign Legion fort lures the heroic Teuns Stegmann into a deadly trap, sprung by a sadistic deserter who will stop at nothing to escape the desert’s grasp.
Forced to reveal his true quest, the fabled Treasure of Akbar, the professor unleashes an even greater terror. The secret awakens the wrath of a cruel Touareg sheikh and his unstoppable army, and soon the captives are condemned to a gruesome end upon a sacrificial fire altar where ancient law demands their blood.
With enemies on all sides and hope turning to ash, only one man has the courage to defy a sheikh and challenge an army. But in a land of shifting sands and brutal betrayals, even the bravest hero may be too late to stop the flames.
A relentless adventure packed with the high-stakes action of a classic thriller. Perfect for fans of Wilbur Smith and Clive Cussler, this epic tale of survival, honor, and ancient mystery will leave you breathless.
