About this audiobook
Death arrives on the scorching Sahara wind.
But it isn’t the sun or an enemy’s blade that fells men at the ruins of Fort Laval.
It’s a silent, horrifying poison.
Sahara desert, 1940-1960. Captain D’Arlan, the legendary “Houdini of the desert,” is tasked with rebuilding the Legion’s most vital outpost. But as his hired laborers drop dead from a gruesome, unseen poison, suspicion turns to mutiny, and D’Arlan realizes the clock is ticking down to a war he can’t possibly win.
Trapped between resentful workers and a penal platoon of dangerous convicts, D’Arlan is a commander sitting on a powder keg. With every death, the fuse shortens, and out on the dunes, a 20 000-strong army gathers for the final, bloody slaughter.
When the ultimate betrayal leaves him with only a handful of loyal soldiers against an unstoppable horde, D’Arlan must make an impossible stand. In the Sahara, survival is a mirage, and victory is a madman’s dream.
A gritty, high-stakes military thriller blending the classic adventure of Alistair MacLean with the relentless tension of Lee Child. This is a story of survival, betrayal, and the brutal cost of duty in the unforgiving desert.
