Death at Sunrise

6. SAHARA ADVENTURE SERIES - DEATH AT SUNRISE

In the unforgiving Sahara Desert, a small patrol of the French Foreign Legion, including the athletic South African Teuns Stegmann, the formidable German Fritz Mundt, and the cynical Englishman Jack Ritchie, is confronted by the looming danger of a colossal sandstorm. Sergeant Catroux, leading the group, struggles to find safe shelter, while Fritz already senses the approaching peril and understands its implications. Suddenly, two camel riders appear far ahead of them, racing eastward. The patrol, driven by desperation, immediately follows in their tracks, seeking salvation from the deadly storm.

As the storm draws near, they discover a hidden oasis, offering welcome refuge within a small clay hut. Inside the hut, they discover an unexpected and unwelcome presence. It is Madame Brigitte Bonnet, the “Witch of the Sahara,” along with her ailing companion, Professor Benesj. Brigitte is notorious for her lethal gas experiments at Fort Laval, where she subjected numerous legionnaires to gruesome torture. Now, fate has forced them together, setting the stage for an exceedingly tense confrontation. Teuns finds himself caught between the need for survival and a burning desire for vengeance, as he and the others must confront their pasts and the escalating stakes in the unforgiving desert.

Teuns, despite his loyalty to the Foreign Legion, begins to question the boundaries between duty and justice and soon begins to formulate a daring plan to overpower the deadly Madame Bonnet. Will Teuns’s desperate gamble succeed, and are the secrets buried beneath the Sahara’s sands more perilous than the storms above?
