Book excerpt: As a boy, Michael "Beau" Geste overhears his aunt, Lady Brandon, telling of a sapphire heirloom, replaced by an imitation. When the gem disappears, Beau, Digby, and John--the three brothers--disappear, each leaving a note assuming the guilt. They join the Foreign Legion, Beau and John serving under brutal Sergeant Lejaune in North Africa, and Digby, as trumpeter at another post. The men revolt against Lejaune's cruelty, and he determines to get the jewel Beau is rumored to carry, but the garrison is attacked by Arabs and Beau is killed. John revenges his brother by killing Lejaune, Digby also is killed, and John returns home to Isobel, his fiancée.
