Summary
To disprove this grave dishonor, Harry dons an Arabian disguise and leaves for the Sudan, where he anonymously comes to the aid of his three friends, saving each of their lives. Having proven his bravery, Harry returns to England, hoping to regain the love and respect of his fiancée.
This suspenseful tale movingly depicts a distinctive code of honor that was deeply valued and strongly promoted by the British during the height of their imperial power.

Excellent book
Highly recommended book. A lovely story of redemption, with the hero coming through for the good of the friends who spurned him. A classic adventure in similar vein to 'Beau Geste' that is excellently narrated.

Above average reading
Quite a good turn of the century tale of romance and adventure.
The plot, although now probably familiar, is nonetheless intriguing and the characterisation strong.
The deduction of stars reflects the glorification and justification of colonialism in the text. In fairness, it can also be argued that Harry F is actually the voice of anti colonialism in the story.
If classic literature is your cup of tea, it's well worth a listen

An old fashioned story who’s relevance for today is undimmed by time.
This is a fabulous story.
Famous as a tale of high adventure it’s actually a wonderful exposition of the nature of courage as it used to be understood and of romance from the male perspective. It also highlights male friendship.
I would thoroughly recommend it and don’t be put off by the imperial setting, there is a reason this has been made into four films it is a great story.

Terrible monotonous voice
Absolutely fantastic book, I remember reading this in my 20s, however the narrator is not absolutely terrible. A boring and monotonous voice. I only managed 3 chapters!
