THE WAGES OF VIRTUE
Crown 8vo, 3s. 6d. net. Fcap. 8vo, 2s. net
A story of the French Foreign Legion ... the tale's the thing, no doubt — but by no means the whole thing either, for not only is it told with verve and real, if unobtrusive human sympathy, but it abounds richly in various kinds of knowledge as well as Legionary lore. ... It is all skilfully worked out, and we leave it with the utmost confidence to more than one kind of reader. There is strong internal evidence that the author knows something of this amazing life (amazing even in these times) from the inside. Furthermore, he uses with great effect a quite astonishing acquaintance with many vernaculars to emphasize the motley of many-hued characters and circumstances showing beneath the common uniform."—The Times.

Those who have read Captain Wren's 'The Wages of Virtue' will renew with pleasure their acquaintance with several of its principal characters. ... Old Jean Boule moves through these pages like the good angel he is, and the Bucking Broncho and 'Erb 'Iggins are also here to provide humour when it is needed."—Yorkshire Post.
The stories themselves are extraordinarily thrilling—sometimes uncomfortably thrilling."—Bystander.
"The 'true stories' are all of them good ones; and they are admirably told."—Westminster Gazette.
