Terror under the Stars: A South African Hero's Struggle in the French Foreign Legion, Book 22

They were supposed to be a diversion.

Instead, they were a death sentence.

Sahara desert, 1940-1960. Legionnaire Teuns Stegmann, a battle-hardened South African, is suffocating in Fort Laval, a forgotten outpost in the Sahara where the heat is a killer and boredom is a curse. He and his giant friend, Fritz, would give anything for a taste of action to break the soul-crushing monotony.

Their wish is granted in the most brutal way imaginable. The miraculous arrival of three survivors is a lie, a Trojan horse that unleashes hell. Betrayed from within, the fort is overrun by a bloodthirsty army led by a ghost from an officer’s past, a man who craves a very specific, very personal revenge.

Forced into a sealed underground armory, the handful of remaining soldiers are trapped in a stinking, airless tomb. As madness takes hold and thirst pushes them to the brink, and their only hope is a desperate escape. But breaking out of their prison means facing an entire army under a merciless sun, with no water, no backup, and nowhere to run.

A relentless, action-packed military thriller that grips you from the first page and doesn’t let go. Terror Under the Stars is a must-read for fans of Alistair MacLean, Jack Higgins, and the pulse-pounding tension of a classic survival adventure.
