Publisher Description
THREE MEN OF THE LEGION. THREE DEADLY TESTS IN NORTH AFRICA.
Dusty Colton is running for his life. An American deserter from the French Foreign Legion, he faces a French penal colony for killing an officer in self-defense. Then, while fleeing through Morocco, he witnesses a Berber attack on an American geological expedition—and discovers that Ann Halliday, the only survivor, has been taken captive by the feared Abd el Malek.
Dusty has enough trouble keeping himself alive. But leaving Ann behind is not an option.
To rescue her, he must bluff an entire camp into believing the Legion is attacking, then escape across the Atlas Mountains with enemies on their trail. One false move could send Dusty back to prison—or get them both killed.
Three complete French Foreign Legion adventures in one volume.
The Barbarians — Captain Jack Harvey, an American flying for the Legion, is sent behind enemy lines after the mutilated body of a comrade arrives with a hidden intelligence message. His mission is revenge and reconnaissance. But when Harvey comes face-to-face with the Berber chief he has been sent to fight, he begins to question which side can truly claim to be civilized.
The Squad That Never Came Back — Everyone at Sidi-bel-Abbès believes a Legion patrol died in the High Atlas. Only the corporal knows what really happened. An expedition toward a lost Roman city and its rumored treasure becomes a deadly contest against Berber fighters, the Moroccan wilderness—and the greed of the Legionnaires themselves.
Together, these military fiction adventures combine combat, aerial reconnaissance, desert survival and lost treasure with the discipline, divided loyalties and danger of Foreign Legion life.
