About this audiobook
In the Sahara, the greatest enemy isn’t the sun.
It’s the man wearing your own uniform.
Sahara desert, 1940-1960. Captain D’Arlan and his loyal Foreign Legion patrol are on a routine mission when they witness the unthinkable. Soldiers of the Legion slaughtering a peaceful caravan. This is no rogue unit, but the first move in a brilliant and terrifying conspiracy to frame D’arlan and ignite a holy war.
Captured by the charismatic German mastermind leading the “Scarlet Riders,” D’Arlan discovers a plot to unite the Arab tribes against France. But the true horror lies in his enemy’s ultimate weapon. A sinister hypnotist who can turn a legionnaire’s loyalty into a tool of destruction. D’Arlan’s own men are brainwashed, their minds twisted into serving the very forces they swore to destroy.
Forced to lead raids under the Legion’s banner, D’Arlan becomes the most hated man in North Africa. Hunted by the tribes and disavowed by his commanders, he must race against time to expose the truth. With his own brainwashed men ordered to kill him on sight and an army of twenty thousand warriors besieging his fortress, one man’s honor is pitted against an empire of lies.
A gripping blend of historical action and high-stakes thriller, this novel is a must-read for fans of Wilbur Smith and classic military adventure.
