His village was a smoking ruin, his people slaughtered.
With his last breath, the chieftain accused Captain Monclaire’s men of the atrocity.
A lie that could set the desert on fire.
In the unforgiving Moroccan desert, Captain Monclaire of the French Foreign Legion faces an impossible choice. A dying chieftain, a trusted friend, has accused his soldiers of a horrific massacre. Monclaire knows his men are innocent, but the evidence is irrefutable, and the embers of a full-scale Arab revolt are beginning to glow.
The truth is a nightmare far deadlier than open rebellion. A penal battalion, four hundred of the Legion’s most depraved criminals has mutinied. They are led by the brilliant and demonic anarchist, Pavani. To cover their escape, Pavani has devised a diabolical plan. Frame the Legion for a series of savage attacks on peaceful villages and thus drowning the Sahara in blood and chaos. Caught in this maelstrom is a beautiful and courageous widow, the only survivor of their first rampage, who holds the secret to stopping the slaughter.
Outnumbered, outmaneuvered, and hunted by both friend and foe, Monclaire and his small band of loyal legionnaires must march into a deadly trap. They are the only hope to stop Pavani’s ghost army before the entire desert explodes into a war that will leave no one unscathed.
A classic action-adventure novel with the heart of a gripping military thriller. This tale of honor, betrayal, and survival against impossible odds is perfect for fans of Alistair MacLean and Wilbur Smith.
