Synopsis

A French officer rides his camel toward a lonely fort in the Sahara. At each break in the parapet a soldier stands, rifle at the ready. Yet no bugle is sounded; no challenge is called; no sound of any kind echoes across the vast desert. There is only silence. And those staring men. . . So begins P.C. Wren's unforgettable mystery concerning the theft of a priceless sapphire and the remarkable adventures of the three Geste brothers. The illustrations in this volume of Beau Geste were produced by Helen Madeleine McKie for a 1927 edition of the book published by John Murray of London. Afterword by Brian Stableford. This is from the Reader's Digest World's Best Reading series. The text is complete and unabridged.
