“the Crogans' escapades are becoming simply
some of the finest comics adventures around.” - Booklist
(STARRED)
“The cartoon
illustrations seem simple at first, but every emotion the characters go through
on their journey is visible on their faces. Schweizer keeps the drawings
visually compelling, yet extremely basic at the same time, and kids will forget
they're reading in black and white. While obviously geared toward younger
readers, this is a story that a wide range of ages will enjoy.” -
School Library Journal
When
Legionnaire Peter Crogan loses a friend and comrade to a violent sand storm, he
is forced to confront some hard questions. Should he wait out the rapidly
approaching end of his five-year term of service with the French Foreign Legion,
or should he accept an offer of promotion and devote his life to a campaign
whose purpose is an enigma to him? Crogan won't have much time to consider his
options as he's besieged by the armies of the infamous Tuaregs, under attack
from desert raiders, beat down by the relentless heat, and trapped in a cave
with a mysterious and terrible creature who is picking off the people in his
party, one-by-one. Luckily, he won't have to go it alone! He's but one man in a
rag-tag group of hardened fighters, all under the command of a brutally strict
sergeant and a dashing captain who may be too brave for his own
good...
Return to the adventure-prone
exploits of Chris Schweizer's not-so-famous fictional family with this new epic
volume in the critically acclaimed Crogan Adventures
series.
