About this audiobook
They were ghosts in the sand, a lost patrol swallowed by the Sahara.
But this was no accident.
It was an invitation.
Sahara desert, 1940-1960. When an entire French Foreign Legion patrol vanishes without a trace, the legendary Captain D’Arlan, known as the “Houdini of the Sahara”, is sent to find them. He expects a battle against the unforgiving desert, but instead, he walks into a meticulously laid trap. He isn’t the hunter. He’s the prey.
Surrounded by a massive army, the ruthless Oerdoe sheikh makes his demand. The lives of two patrols in exchange for one man, Legionnaire Teuns Stegmann. D’Arlan refuses to sacrifice his soldier, but the sheikh’s obsession is tied to a dark secret from the past, a whispered legend of a lost Nazi weapons cache, and a beautiful woman who is not what she seems.
With betrayal lurking behind every dune and the executioner’s sabre sharpened for dawn, the Legionnaires are trapped and outmaneuvered. They must uncover a deadly conspiracy that could drown the Sahara in blood, or die trying.
A relentless military adventure packed with high-stakes mystery and classic action, Echoes of the Past is a must-read for fans of Alistair MacLean and Wilbur Smith. This gripping thriller will transport you to a world of honor, betrayal, and survival against impossible odds.
