A shot rang out. The Arabs surged forward under a savage fusillade of heavy fire. Nearer and nearer they
came, shouting with hate and blood-lust.Geste rushed up and down his side of the roof, pausing only long enough to load
his rifle and fire into the shrieking mob below, hoping to trick the Arabs into believing the fort was heavily manned. Load,
aim, and fire, ignoring the cries and curses of the wounded, the dead sprawled out in their own blood. Of all those
hard-bitten veterans who had yelled their defiance at the first Arab onslaught, who had shouted with joy at the order of
"Aux Armes!", only ten remained-ten legionnaires against a thousand Arabs.

Beau Geste is the world-famous novel of suspense and adventure, love and glory, courage and treachery. It is
the thrilling story of three men who braved the hellish brutality and ruthless savagery of the French Foreign Legion to
protect the honor of a woman they loved more than their lives.


Geoffrey Howard is a retired British journalist who strives to add warmth and clarity to every audiobook. Says Howard, "I try to bring the listener as close as possible to the experience I'm having while reading it for the first time."

Have you always loved reading but sometimes find it hard to find the time? Theres nothing quite like curling up with a good book but many of us cannot do that as much as we would llike. We sacrifice this special time because we have so many other things to do each day. It is a common problem and it is the reason why people on average are not reading as much as they once did. Audio books bring the story to life just as the storytellers of the past did. They allow you to experience the book in a whole new way; in the way the writer felt and heard it in their head. You can feel the emotion when you allow audio books to let the story come to life.
