Synopsis

Lieutenant Ducan has a political fugitive in his ranks . . .

Ethiopia, 1976

A rebel without a cause, Lieutenant Simon Ducan is bored with desk duty and longs for excitement and danger. When he is drafted into the brutal French Foreign Legion, the undistinguished lieutenant has a chance to prove himself.

In the blistering terrain of Ethiopia, Ducan is tasked with finding "the Fox"—a valuable Russian defector seeking protection from the Legion. But when he receives word that three women are being held ransom by rival forces, his mission becomes a thrilling chase across the desert.

With all his men operating under assumed identities, Ducan must work out who he can trust. And when the legionnaires' enemies begin to catch up with them, he is thrown into a desperate race against time to uncover "the Fox" before more lives are lost . . .

An enjoyable read! This was a strange story and difficult to categorise. I found it to be a mix of genres (spy thriller, geo-political thriller, crime story, military romp and boys own adventure).

Legionaires on the run. A well plotted tale with a character list of men who all have a reason to have enlisted in the legion. I have rated this book four stars because I felt the action sequences could have been more intense. Overall a very satisfying book.......more
