10. SWEET REVENGE — SAHARA DESERT SERIES
Deep in the unforgiving heart of the Sahara, where the sun’s fiery tongues lick, the Bormoen leader, El Dowla, vows bloody revenge. He summons his thousands of warriors for a final onslaught against the French Foreign Legion and their new, strategic Fort Vateau, a stronghold that imperils his dominion. But for one Legionnaire, the South African Joos Janse, an even deeper fire burns, a personal vendetta against El Dowla, the man who grotesquely murdered his brother.
Alongside his hardened comrades, the one-eyed Org, the muscle-bound Neels, and the stoic Englishman Marleigh, and under the audacious Captain Monclaire, Joos and Company One are dispatched into the desert. Their mission to Fort Vateau rapidly degenerates into a desperate struggle for survival. From treacherous ambushes and the shock of innocent blood seeping into the sand, to a tenacious siege at Fort Ney, where internal treachery and staggering incompetence threaten to condemn them all.
Driven by his thirst for revenge and a desperate stratagem, Joos undertakes a perilous escape and an unexpected rescue attempt. Will his audacious gamble save the beleaguered fort and ignite an unlikely rebellion amongst the Arab tribes? As El Dowla’s war machine prepares for a final, crushing assault on Vateau, a mysterious “pestilence” sows chaos. Tensions quickly escalate to breaking point. Can a handful of heroes stand firm against a sea of enemies beneath the scorching desert sun, in a tale of courage, betrayal, and vengeance so sweet… and so lethal.
