Beschreibung

His village was a smoking ruin, his people slaughtered.

With his last breath, the chieftain accused Captain Monclaire’s men of the atrocity.

A lie that could set the desert on fire.

In the unforgiving Moroccan desert, Captain Monclaire of the French Foreign Legion faces an impossible choice. A dying chieftain, a trusted friend, has accused his soldiers of a horrific massacre. Monclaire knows his men are innocent, but the evidence is irrefutable, and the embers of a full-scale Arab revolt are beginning to glow.

The truth is a nightmare far deadlier than open rebellion. A penal battalion, four hundred of the Legion’s most depraved criminals has mutinied. They are led by the brilliant and demonic anarchist, Pavani. To cover their escape, Pavani has devised a diabolical plan. Frame the Legion for a series of savage attacks on peaceful villages and thus drowning the Sahara in blood and chaos. Caught in this maelstrom is a beautiful and courageous widow, the only survivor of their first rampage, who holds the secret to stopping the slaughter.

Outnumbered, outmaneuvered, and hunted by both friend and foe, Monclaire and his small band of loyal legionnaires must march into a deadly trap. They are the only hope to stop Pavani’s ghost army before the entire desert explodes into a war that will leave no one unscathed.

A classic action-adventure novel with the heart of a gripping military thriller. This tale of honor, betrayal, and survival against impossible odds is perfect for fans of Alistair MacLean and Wilbur Smith.

Framily - Friends Considered Family

Lou Saulino

"Sports is like war without the killing." "Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together. "Ted Turner and President Woodrow Wilson have enlightened us with their innermost thoughts regarding sports and friendship. 
Framily (friends considered family), in similar fashion to the first two books of the trilogy, "8" Center Field in New York, 1951-1957 and Dopey Bastid coalesces sports and friendship in a unique way. 
Three friends since childhood, now adults and all reconnected with their teenage girlfriends and starting families; share the spotlight as the recollection of notable sporting events come to life. Relive accounts of the NCAA tournament with Magic and Bird, the USA Olympic hockey team miracle in 1980, the Mets World Series victory over the Red Sox in 1986, the Giants Super Bowl XXI triumph, and many others as you laugh out loud, perhaps shed a tear and reflect on the true meaning of friendship. 
The Kirkus Review of Framily was highly complementary of the author... "Saulino has developed a smart way of storytelling via weaving his characters plotlines together with contemporary sports events... it's an eye-catching and inventive strategy... this novel will appeal to anyone who enjoys a good story about good friends."

A Case of Desecration in the West

Douglas Watt

'All is secrecy. All is lies… Does anyone tell us the truth here?'

Scotland, 1691. Hooded figures have been seen in the woods and the dead have been wrenched from their resting place under the cover of darkness and their graves desecrated. A body is found floating in the River Clyde and a Duchess is determined to find answers.

John MacKenzie's latest case takes him and his loyal assistant Davie Scougall to Hamilton Palace to discover the truth behind the curious drowning of local woman Bethia Porterfield. The kirk and sheriff have pronounced a verdict of self-murder, but the Duchess is unconvinced, and every soul connected to the case is guarding secrets of their own.

Despite mounting pressure to leave the West, MacKenzie and Scougall must navigate the murky waters of the Clyde, where nothing is as it seems, to uncover the truth – was Bethia's death an accident, a suicide, or part of something much more sinister?
