Fortress of Fury

28. SAHARA ADVENTURE SERIES - FORTRESS OF FURY

The story commences in the Sahara Desert, where Teuns Stegmann, a South African serving in the French Foreign Legion, finds himself alongside Fritz Mundt and six raw recruits. They are on a mission to initiate the recruits into the ways of the desert. Teuns is particularly suspicious of one recruit, Davros, whose restless demeanour troubles him. Davros spots something on a dune and is sent to investigate, only to vanish without a trace. Teuns and his men search everywhere for him, finding only tracks and blood. They immediately suspect an ambush, and Teuns feels it is his duty to investigate further and attempt to locate Davros.

As the patrol leader, Teuns Stegmann bears responsibility for his men’s safety. Consequently, he makes certain decisions, often against Fritz’s counsel, to rescue Davros. Even upon discovering a mysterious, ancient fortress and being confronted by an unknown voice, Teuns remains resolute. The voice belongs to Pierre Bonnet. Teuns is compelled to offer himself as a hostage in exchange for another recruit, Jacques Debret. Tension escalates as Teuns is confronted with betrayal, death, and abduction. He is ensnared in a deadly game of cat and mouse but refuses to surrender hope.

Teuns attempts an escape through a secret passage but is recaptured. He ends up in a tower, besieged by Pierre Bonnet and his men, fighting valiantly for his life. Fritz Mundt also plays a critical role. He is consistently present to support Teuns, even when disagreeing with his decisions. The recruits remain mostly in the background, serving as reminders of Teuns’s responsibility. To extricate themselves from their predicament, Teuns devises a daring escape, disguising himself as an Arab. Will he succeed in escaping, or will he fall victim to Pierre Bonnet’s bitter vengeance? The secret lies within the fortress’s hidden passages, and only the full story will unveil the truth.
