Death in the Shadows: A South African Hero's Struggle in the French Foreign Legion, Book 20

In the heart of the Sahara, a single act of mercy is about to become a death sentence for forty soldiers.

Sahara desert, 1940-1960. For Legionnaire Teuns Stegmann and his brothers-in-arms, the transport plane to Algiers is a ticket to freedom from the desert hell. But when a sick patient they generously offered a ride reveals a hidden revolver, their flight becomes a cage in the sky, hurtling them toward a brutal showdown.

Their lives are now bargaining chips in a deadly ultimatum. Release a condemned killer, or all forty soldiers die. But when the fragile truce shatters into bloodshed, Stegmann and a handful of survivors escape into a hostile wasteland, hunted by hundreds of merciless fighters.

Outnumbered, outgunned, and with no hope of rescue, they are the last line of defense for their captured comrades. They must rely on sheer grit and battlefield cunning to turn the tables, because in the shadows of the dunes, failure isn’t just death, it’s being erased by the sand.

A relentless blend of classic adventure and high-stakes military thriller, Death in the Shadows is a must-read for fans of Alistair MacLean, Wilbur Smith, and the pulse-pounding action of Lee Child.
