11. SAHARA ADVENTURE SERIES - REVENGE OF THE SABRE
During the Second World War, Teuns Stegmann’s brother was shot down over the Sahara Desert by a German fighter plane. This was also the main reason why Teuns joined the French Foreign Legion in the Sahara. To search for his lost brother by temporarily giving up his beautiful wine farm in the Hex Valley. While on a short leave of absence and enjoying a drink with his loyal fellow soldiers in a restaurant in Algiers, a mysterious, short man appears and asks to speak to Teuns alone. However, his friends warn him against it.
The man tells Teuns the shocking news that his brother is still alive and that he is willing to escort him to his brother, as his brother had tasked him with finding Teuns. By using the very thing Teuns treasures, the man manages to convince him. Teuns decides to apply for special leave to accompany the man, but Fritz Mundt has other plans, and a deadly fight ensues in the bar between Arabs and Legion men. The men fight for their lives, and when the police arrive, they discover that Teuns has disappeared without a trace.

They shackle his hands and feet and take him to the oasis in the desert, where Teuns must find the sabre for them. He tries to stall them to gain extra time for an escape plan. He cleverly turns the villains on one another, and one after the another, they get eliminated.

However, they have not encountered the bravery and resourcefulness of this tall, blonde South African before, and he concocts a brilliant plan. If everything works out exactly as he wants, his plan will give him a slim chance of getting away alive. However, he is desperate, and this might be his last chance. When all seems lost, Teuns executes his extraordinary plan. When the Dulacs finally grasp his clever plan and want to attack him, he plays his last trump card...

“I know that,” Teuns says and smiles. “I have been in the desert long enough to know how Dulacs can give chase.”
The sheik hastily rides out of the water, followed by the other Arab. He rides quickly up to his men and orders them. “Mount your horses!” He calls a young warrior aside. “Ghouri,” he tells the eager young Arab. “You will take y……
