The Bone Brigade (Foreign Legion novels)

By Jenő Rejtő and P. Howard

In this gripping adventure and crime novel, we are thrust into the unforgiving world of the French Foreign Legion in the sweltering Sahara. The story follows Henry Fécamp, supposed murderer and traitor - saved from a death sentence only to enter a nightmarish prison camp. As Fécamp navigates this hellish landscape, he encounters a cast of broken souls, each bearing their own burden of guilt and suffering. The camp, with its oppressive heat and dehumanizing conditions, becomes a crucible for testing the limits of human endurance and morality. Rejto masterfully explores themes of friendship, sacrifice, and the preservation of humanity in the face of extreme adversity. As Fécamp uncovers shocking truths and confronts his own values, readers are compelled to question the nature of guilt, redemption, and the essence of what makes us human. This haunting tale, unlike Rejto's typically lighthearted humorous works, delves deep into human tragedy and resilience, leaving an indelible mark on the reader's psyche. A modern translation of Rejto's 1936 novel "A Csontbrigád".
