9. DARK VENGEANCE — SAHARA DESERT SERIES
The hourglass is running empty for Legionnaire Kriso Tovak. Minutes separate him from the firing squad, his punishment for a desperate act of love. He deserted, and a man died. All in a desperate attempt to reach his Anna, whom he considered his great love, after a letter revealed she was still alive. Shortly after his execution, a beautiful, mysterious woman appears at the dust-scorched French Foreign Legion outpost, Dini Sadazi. It is Anna. Her raw grief rapidly transforms into an icy, unquenchable thirst for revenge against the Legion that claimed her husband’s life. She has not arrived alone.
The smouldering anger of the Tuareg rebels becomes her weapon, and she, a former sabotage expert, knows exactly how to sow chaos. While Captain Monclaire and his men wrestle with internal strife and the looming uprising, Anna weaves a deadly web. Twenty-two European hostages, including women and children, become the pawns in her brutal game. Her ultimatum is chillingly simple. The Legion evacuates Sadazi by midnight, or the innocents will die a gruesome death. Two of Tovak’s comrades, Basie Beyers and Pete Haver, ironically part of his firing squad, undertake a life-threatening mission to try and save the hostages. However, they themselves fall into Anna’s merciless hands, destined for a special, perverse kind of execution.
While the Legion ostensibly beats a retreat under the threat, the clock ticks relentlessly on. Is all hope for Sadazi and its captives lost? Will Anna’s dark vengeance triumph, or does a last, desperate chance perhaps lurk in the shadows of the barracks? This story will have you biting your nails until the final, shocking page.
