Publisher Description

A shot rang out. The Arabs surged forward under a savage fusillade of heavy fire. Nearer and nearer they came, shouting with hate and blood-lust. Geste rushed up and down his side of the roof, pausing only long enough to load his rifle and fire into the shrieking mob below, hoping to trick the Arabs into believing the fort was heavily manned. Load, aim, and fire, ignoring the cries and curses of the wounded, the dead sprawled out in their own blood. Of all those hard-bitten veterans who had yelled their defiance at the first Arab onslaught, who had shouted with joy at the order of Aux Armes!, only 10 remained, 10 legionnaires against a thousand Arabs.

Beau Geste is the world-famous novel of suspense and adventure, love and glory, courage, and treachery. It is the thrilling story of three men who braved the hellish brutality and ruthless savagery of the French Foreign Legion to protect the honor of a woman they loved more than their lives.

"One of my favorite books that I re-read every few years. Adventure genre novel from the early 20th century about young English gentlemen in the French Foreign Legion. Absolutely not to be missed. "

    " When people talk about running away and joining the Foreign Legion, they're probably referring to this book, even if they don't know they are. Stirring British Empire stiff-upper-lip stuff. There is a fantastic scene near the end which I often think of. "

    " I'm listening to it, actually. Started out kind of slowly and it took a bit to get into it, but I'm hooked now. Charming mystery in pre-WWI era. I like it. "

    " Interesting mystery. Now know not to ever sign up for the foreign legion. :) A bit wordy and I admit that I'm not sure if the drastic measures taken by the characters are justified. "
