Beau Geste

By Percival Christopher Wren

Subjects: French Foreign Legion

Description: Beau Geste steals the Blue Water, a valuable gem. He runs away and hides in the French Foreign Legion. His two brothers run away to divert suspicion from their brother and join the Legion, too. Their sergeant is determined to get the jewel. His opportunity comes when he becomes the commander of a detachment manning a small desert fort. This is both a good action yarn and a story of family solidarity.
