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.

To start off, the narration of this work is among the very best I have heard. It is stellar. The story itself is marvelous. One of those stories that truly transports you to another place and time; in this case, in the hot deserts of African and among the French Foreign Legion. Having never read the novel, it was a total delight to come across such a fine work of story telling. If you like adventure stories and rich prose, you will like this book very much.

Intriguing, wonderful tale, very well told.

This was one of those books that I might have dismissed if not for the narrator. The story isn't all that appealing to a sixty something woman, really more the daring do for pre adolescent boy. Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy it and I'm glad I got it, but I can see how this book would be a male favorite. The thing that made it great for me Geoffrey Howard. I enjoyed him so much I'm back to Audible looking for other books he's narrated.

The story was good but the narrator was perfection

I absolutely loved this book. I laughed hard many times but even teared up at the end. Great book. Highly recommend to any who enjoys a solid adventure.

Amazing

Such a classic of a tale, written almost 100 years ago, but as exciting now as it must have been then since three films have been made of it starting in 1924, just 2 years after first publication.

This is the tale of three brothers and a missing gem, which mostly takes place in Algeria: it's also the tale of the French Foreign Legion and kinds of heroism which are quite inspiring.

I can't find any more of P.C Wren's novels on Audible, which is a great pity, but I am very grateful for this excellent audio presentation which is preserving one of the great novels for future listeners. Very Highly Recommended.

Everything I hoped for and so much more.. I probably would not have had the patience to sit and read this fine work. So glad to have Audible to bring it to me.

The book starts slow but eventually turns into a fairly interesting story of greed, love, and adventure. I recommend it to anyone.

How British authors and some of the British public view the world and Americans as characters once upon a time. (politically incorrect of course.)

Insight into the legendary French foreign Legion.
