The Bloody Legionnaires: An action-packed military thriller Kindle Edition

4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars 932 ratings

An action-packed French Foreign Legion adventure! Perfect for fans of Len Deighton, John Le Carre, Tom Clancy and Ian Fleming.

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 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…

THE BLOODY LEGIONNAIRES is a gripping French Foreign Legion thriller set in the 1970s.

    This was an interesting tale of lifestyles not known to many. We may have learned about the French Foreign Legion in remote parts of history. This story spells out the story with lifelike characters.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Legionaires on the run.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 8, 2023
    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.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 21, 2021
    This is a good read. Quite a complex plot with lots of characters, and in the later stages of the story, a little implausible, but by that stage you are so caught up in the action that you barely notice!
    This would probably make a pretty good film.

    4.0 out of 5 stars An enjoyable read!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 27, 2021
    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). Too many strands did, for me at least, detract from the overall tale but, it was an enjoyable read.
