Revenge of the Sabre

11. SAHARA ADVENTURE SERIES - REVENGE OF THE SABRE

In this eleventh book from Meiring Fouche in the Sahara Adventure series, “Revenge of the Sabre”, the scorching Sahara sun bears down on Legionnaire Teuns Stegmann as he makes his way through the bustling streets of Algiers. A reprieve from duty in the unforgiving desert, Teuns looks forward to relaxing with friends and spending time with the beautiful Julie Lefevre.

While relaxing with his fellow Legion friends, a mysterious stranger interrupts them claiming to have news about Teuns’ long-lost brother. Teuns had joined the French Foreign Legion to find his brother, a fighter pilot shot down years ago over the desert. The stranger says Teuns’ brother is alive and wants to see him. Though his friends warn him it’s a trap, the man convinces Teuns by showing him his brother’s identification tag. Teuns decides to apply for leave to accompany the stranger, but his plans are derailed when a bar fight breaks out between the Legion men and Arabs. By the time the police arrive, and the chaos finally settles, Teuns has vanished without a trace.

Teuns finds himself captive of the villain Carlos, a ruthless Spaniard and deserter from the Legion, along with three henchmen. They give Teuns a choice. Reveal where he hid the priceless Sabre of Dutra years ago at an oasis, or his brother dies. The sabre is a sacred treasure of the barbaric Dulac tribe. Carlos plans to retrieve it and sell it back to the Dulacs for a fortune. Shackled hand and foot, Teuns is taken to the oasis in the desert and ordered to produce the sabre. With his brother’s life hanging in the balance, Teuns has no choice but to comply. Shackled and starving, he begins the long and arduous journey across the Sahara with Carlos and his gang of violent henchmen.

As they close in on the hidden sabre at a remote desert oasis, tensions rise among the men. Trying to stall them and form an escape plan, Teuns cleverly manipulates Carlos’ henchmen to turn on one another. One by one they meet their demise, until only Carlos remains. But with Carlos growing ever more unstable and brutal, Teuns realizes that his own death awaits, whether or not Carlos gets the sabre. Just as Teuns sees his chance to flee, a massive force of three hundred Dulacs arrives, intent on reclaiming their sacred sabre. Their sheik insists Teuns reveal the sabre’s location, but won’t release him until it’s safely in Dulac’s hands.

Trapped and out of options, Teuns must tap into every ounce of Legion resourcefulness to survive and hatches a brilliant but desperate scheme. If he can precisely execute every step, he might have a slim chance at escape. But timing is everything, and the odds are stacked heavily against him. One false move could mean capture, torture, and certain death at the hands of the barbaric Dulac tribe. When all seems lost, Teuns plays his final trump card in a daring gambit for freedom. Will his bold plan pay off before the Dulacs catch on and attack? Will Teuns live to fight another day? Can he protect the sabre’s secret and evade the Dulacs’ wrath? As enemies close in on all sides, Teuns faces the ultimate test of courage in this non-stop thrill ride under the desert sun.

With non-stop adventure and a narrative as scorching as the Sahara sun, “Revenge of the Sabre” is a must-read for fans of Fouche’s thrilling saga. Teuns Stegmann faces challenges that push him to the very limits of courage and endurance in his quest to uncover the truth about his missing brother. But in the unforgiving wastes of North Africa, even one false step could spell disaster.
