About this listen

First published in 1924, Beau Geste tells the story of a stolen sapphire and three brothers, who consequently join the Foreign Legion. Michael "Beau" Geste, as his nickname suggests, represents honor and bravery in the midst of deceit and treachery. An action-packed adventure, much of the plot is set in French North Africa, where the Geste brothers have to contend with both a mutiny in their ranks and the attacks of the Touaregs. The novel has given rise to many films, most notably the 1939 version starring Gary Cooper and Ray Milland, and a stage production with Laurence Olivier in the title role.

Thought the first 20 percent of the book was a bit slow and a little staid. But I was definitely wrong as it slowly built into a great story with some of the best characters and dialogue I have listened to in a long time. Absolutely fantastic book that I could not recommend highly enough.
