Summary: Beau!
Comment: I wish someone would reprint the sequels to Beau Geste. I had a paperback copy of Beau Sabreau, that just fell apart, finally. Beau Geste is obtainable, but I can't find Beau Ideal even in the library. These are classics. I enjoyed them in high school (50 years ago) and would like to re-read them. Not saying they're Great Literature, but they are exciting reads.

Summary: Beau Ideal - 3rd place out of three
Comment: Beau Ideal - This book is definitely very good and much better than most junk that comes out today, but compared to the previous two in the trilogy, it just is not quite as good. It does, however, contain some truly classic parts, such as finding out about Hank and Bud's background, and the different view of the attack (Otis P. Vanbrugh). I have copies of Beau Geste and Beau Sabreur, but the only copy I've ever seen of this was at the library, practically fallen apart. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhh! Well, read it if you can.

Summary: A Ripping Yarn
Comment: One of the finest books that you are ever likely to read. Not great literature, perhaps, but this, the third book in the 'Beau Geste' stories of Michael, Digby and John Geste and their adventures in the French Foreign Legion in the Edwardian era, will excite every possible emotion. It is a travesty that this classic story, encapsulating the genres of mystery, war, romance, humour and high adventure is almost impossible to get hold of. I read it fourteen years ago over a period of three days in the University of Queensland's library for rare books. As it was the only copy, quite possibly, in the state, I wasn't allowed to take it out on loan and so I read it over a period of several days in the library itself.

It was so addictive that I missed several lectures and tutorials and the strength of the emotions that the book aroused in me caused me to yell out, several times. I'm sure that the library staff thought that I was quite mad. If you enjoyed 'Beau Geste', this is a must! (If you can get hold of it).
