Publisher's summary

He called himself the Mahdi, and he pledged to sweep the Infidel colonizers of the Sudan and their Egyptian allies from the land.

A secret desert war fought by few against many. A mercenary band of brothers pitted against a nation of warriors.

In the North African desert, during the closing years of the nineteenth century, a warrior chieftain appeared. He called himself the Mahdi, and he pledged to sweep the Infidel colonizers of the Sudan and their Egyptian allies from the land. At the head of his minions the Mahdi rode, wielding his trademark, a jewel-encrusted sword whose origins lay in the time of the Crusades.
While the last outposts of once great colonial power manned their forts along the Nile and in the desert vastness further inland, counting the days and weeks until they too would be destroyed by the Mahdi's ferocious hordes of nomadic warriors, foreign mercenaries were sought out in a last-ditch effort to turn the tide of battle in the war against the Mahdi. History states that the Mahdi was never defeated on the battlefield, but instead vanished from the Sudan one day, years later, almost as mysteriously as he had originally first appeared.
This is because history has never recorded the true reason for the Mahdi's sudden demise. As the story chronicled in the pages of this book will reveal, the Mahdi's defeat was brought about by the secret war waged against him by an American soldier of fortune and his band of brothers whose exploits made them known throughout the windswept desert reaches of North Africa.

Sword of the Mahdi a global thriller by author David Alexander.
