About the book: year / Service in the French Foreign Legion turned out to be completely unbearable for three friends - the American Thor, the Frenchman Francois and the Scotsman Pitman: heat, boredom, hordes of flies and not a single more or less pretty girl on the horizon. Did they dream of such service when they signed the contract? Well, no army romance! The only way out is to escape from this hell. However, escaping from the garrison camp, located almost in the very heart of the vast and hot Sahara Desert, is an almost crazy idea. It is rare that a camel is able to get out of these quicksands. In addition, deserters may face a tribunal. But it’s not for nothing that they say: he who doesn’t take risks, doesn’t drink champagne!..
