by E. C. Tubb
In Africa the Foreign Legion stands between the tribesmen and their dreams of the Great Jehad, and the traders and colonists of the peaceful settlements. Secret agent Lieutenant Crispin de Corville discovers a treacherous plot to unite the tribes and wrest arms from the Legion. Fighting his way across the desert, Corville, while in disguise, must learn the tribesmen's plans as he conveys two women to safety ... realizing that the sands of the desert are indeed the "Sands of Destiny."
