The Foreign Legion Novels Part B contains the novels Paper Prison, published in 1939, and The Uniform of Glory, published in 1941. Paper Prison is the story of twin fraternal brothers, Mark and Luke Tuyler, and the woman whom they love, Rosanne. Paper Prison is a complex novel, published (and assumed to be written) in the later part of Wren's life. It is more realistic than most of his more famous novels, with its themes of infidelity, divorce, blackmail, and "killing no murder." The Uniform of Glory is a humorous novel which has the subtitle of "being the true story of a free Frenchman's night out." It is the story of Denis Ducros, a legionnaire who is the servant of the Colonel, Louis Rochefort. On the night of a Legion fete day, Denis dons the uniform of the Colonel and cleverly impersonates him out on the town. Denis has a number of adventures pretending to be the Colonel, including giving non-commissioned officers a dreadful time, giving ordinary legionnaires an enjoyable time, helping the Colonel's daughter with her romance, and helping a number of "filles de joie" to escape their environment for the evening.

The Foreign Legion Novels Part A contains The Wages of Virtue (1916), Wren's first novel of the French Foreign Legion, and Sowing Glory (1931), a novel supposedly only edited, not written, by Wren. The Wages of Virtue is the story of Sir Montague Merline in the French Foreign Legion. Merline (known as John Bull) joined the Legion after recovering from his apparent death in combat while serving in Africa. Upon regaining his memory several years later, he was told that his wife had married again. In an act of selfless denial, he joined the Legion to keep his identity a secret. The second novel, Sowing Glory, tells the story of a woman who joined the Legion. If it were not for the fantastic ploy of a woman being in the Legion, this book would be one of Wren's most accurate descriptions of the Legion. Both the romance and the reality of the Foreign Legion are described in these novels by the man who popularized the French Foreign Legion. As John Bull states to a recruit: "But we are the cheapest labourers, the finest soldiers, the most dangerous, reckless devils ever gathered together. . . . You're a ha'penny hero now, my boy, and a ha'penny day-labourer, and you're not expected to wear out in less than five years-unless you're killed by the enemy, disease, or the Non-coms."

Percival Christopher Wren is best known as a novelist, publishing twenty-eight novels from 1912 to 1941, the most famous of which being Beau Geste (1924). The Geste Novels Part A and The Geste Novels Part B are the first of a multi-volume series, The Collected Novels of P. C. Wren. The Geste Novels Part A and The Geste Novels Part B contain the four novels that feature the Geste brothers and their friends. These novels are the well-known Beau Geste, and the lesser known direct sequels: Beau Sabreur (1926) and Beau Ideal (1927). The fourth novel, Spanish Maine (published in the United States as The Desert Heritage) was published in 1935, eight years and twelve books after Beau Ideal. All four novels feature what Wren is famous for: stories of the French Foreign Legion.

Volume two of The Collected Novels of P. C. Wren, The Sinbad Novels, contains the four novels featuring the character of Sinclair Noel Brodie Dysart, whose nickname is Sinbad based on the initials of S.N.B.D. Part B contains Fort in the Jungle, the direct sequel to Sinbad the Soldier, and The Disappearance of General Jason, which is not a direct sequel to Fort in the Jungle and only features Sinbad as a minor, though important, character. At the end of Sinbad the Soldier, our hero, had been captured by French authorities and given the choice of prison or joining the French Foreign Legion. Instead of a North African desert Foreign Legion novel, Fort in the Jungle, has the setting of the Indo-China colonial wars of the late 1800s with the Black Flag Army. Sinbad is sent on a covert mission to a secret fort in the jungles of Vietnam. Here he has various adventures and meets the love of his life-the wife of the European advisor to the bandit army. The plot of The Disappearance of General Jason is concerned with the disappearance of a retired British army general. The story line and plot elements are quasi-science fiction in that there is a (sort of) lost race that the characters are involved with, aspects of uranium mining, and an H. G. Wells Island of Dr. Moreau element to it.

The collected Gestes-volume three of a four volume set There are some works of fiction and their characters, that are familiar to practically everyone-whether they have read the books or not; King Solomon's Mines and Alan Quatermain, The Prisoner of Zenda and Rudolf Rassendyll, The Hound of the Baskervilles with Sherlock Holmes and his faithful Doctor John Watson and The Thirty Nine Steps and Richard Hannay, to name but a few. Cinema, television, radio and even comics have all played a part in ensuring that books such as these and their central characters have become cultural icons that are forever part of the collective consciousness. There can be no doubt that the same applies to P. C. Wren's novel Beau Geste, which features the memorable John Geste and his brothers. Wren, more than any other author, was responsible for bringing an awareness of the French Foreign Legion to the public. Having served in the Legion he knew it well, and through his popular and romantic novels, his tales of regiments of mercenaries comprised of the dregs of society, thieves, murderers and professional soldiers of fortune, it quickly captured the public imagination. So too did one of the Legion's most infamous battlegrounds-the burning sands of colonial North Africa. Wren created a legend of the most potent kind-an image of a straggling line of tired, sweating men upon the endless dunes of the desert, all wearing the famous kepi-blanc with its familiar neck flap. These 'heroes' would battle their despotic officers as readily as the marauding Bedouin tribesmen and knew what it was to 'march or die ' It is often the case that modern readers know of the best known character or most famous work of an author but remain unaware that, at the time they first published, the public demanded more such adventures. There are, in fact, four full length novels and a number of short stories featuring the Gestes and the Foreign Legion and all have been gathered in this special four volume Leonaur collection for readers to own and enjoy. This third volume contains Beau Ideal and three short stories: The McSnorrt Reminiscent, Buried Treasure & If Wishes Were Horses.... Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

He is remembered best for Beau Geste, a much-filmed book of 1924, involving the French Foreign Legion in North Africa. This was one of 33 novels and short story collections that he wrote, mostly dealing with colonial soldiering in Africa. While his fictional accounts of life in the pre-1914 Foreign Legion are highly romanticized, his details of Legion uniforms, training, equipment and barrack room layout are generally accurate, which has led to unproven suggestions that Wren himself served with the legion.
