Beau Ideal eBook P C Wren
I first read the three books "Beau Geste", "Beau Sabreur" and "Beau Ideal" as a teenager and have wanted to read them again for years. Reading them as an adult there is so much you missed the first time. Even better, all the books arrived well before Amazon promised, in time for Christmas. I was delighted with my purchase and the service. All the books are politically, religiously and racially incorrect, reflecting the time they were written. This book could stand alone but it really brings together all the threads woven by its two predecessors. A great read.Product details

Beau Ideal eBook P C Wren Reviews
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.
I am sorry that this great series has gone out of print. It is one of my favorite series ever. It is a must read if you are in any way interested in the French Foreign legion, Africa or just good stories. Five fingers up.
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.
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).
This is the third book in P.C. Wrens trilogy about the adventures of the Geste brothers in the desert of Africa.
Do NOT read this book until you have first read
Beau Geste and
Beau Sabreur!
This one traces the exploits of Otis P. Vanbrugh in Algeria and brings together all of the loose ends in the other stories. I wonder if the end of this book is the origin of the term "one, big, happy family" ?
If, after reading all 3 books you still want more, read
Good Gestes Stories of Beau Geste, His Brothers, and Certain of Their Comrades in the French Foreign Legion
Attending school in the U.S., I didn't learn much about the French Foreign Legion, except from Pepe LePew. However, since the National Geographic issue with the outline of Africa on the cover, my knowledge of the continent and its people has increased. This book plays a role in that. First, the writing and language are surprisingly modern. A nice aspect of some writers of this time, including Mr. Byrne, is the use of several languages throughout. Obviously French, but also Spanish, Arabic and Latin. I had to look up obiter dicta. The beginning is a bit sappy, with a lovely girl etc., but still well written. From there, the story takes off. The Angel of Death sounds amazing and I can't imagine resisting her. This character is much more important than the reader realizes. The fighting in Algiers is exciting and surprising. Even more clever is how the beginning starts with a scene from the middle--really well done. Wren's ability to engage the reader is commendable--he's even quite amusing, at times. This book stands as a novel on its own, though it is meant to be the third part of a series. To be sure, the story is a bit too fantastic, but it is a marvelous adventure. This is a classic everyone should read. The religious conflicts in the story aren't much different than the Africa of today.
I first read the three books "Beau Geste", "Beau Sabreur" and "Beau Ideal" as a teenager and have wanted to read them again for years.
