Penalty Expedition - Sand Blood and Survival - A French Foreign Legion Series in the Sahara Book 12

Sandbergh Beyers

Sinossi

One woman holds the key to their survival and their damnation.

To live, they must become the butchers of their own brothers-in-arms.

In the unforgiving Moroccan desert, Fort Valeau is a forgotten bastion of the French Foreign Legion. It’s a place where men go to disappear, led by the battle-hardened Captain Monclaire. His command is a volatile mix of outcasts, including Basie Beyers, a South African giant running from a lethal past, and Pete Haver, a disgraced officer whose sharp tongue is as dangerous as any blade.

When a relief column is annihilated by a brutally efficient enemy armed with modern weapons, the fort is besieged and overwhelmed. Captured and facing unimaginable torture, Monclaire’s men are offered a hellish choice. Lure an even larger relief force into a waiting massacre, or die screaming in the sand. Their captors are not simple rebels, but a ghost army led by the beautiful and sadistic Tania. She is a woman with a shocking secret and a dark, twisted obsession with Basie.

As loyalty clashes with survival, Basie is drawn into a dangerous, passionate battle of wills with his beautiful tormentor. With hundreds of his comrades marching blindly toward the slaughter, Monclaire must orchestrate a desperate gambit, knowing that one false move means the end of them all.

A blistering blend of classic action-adventure and a high-stakes military thriller, this novel is a relentless story of courage, betrayal, and the savage fight for survival. Perfect for fans of Alistair MacLean and Wilbur Smith.
