Barry Sadler's Casca: The Liberator (Barry Sadler's Casca) 38 reviews Paul Dengelegi
Jove, 1999
Nice try but no continuity. Disappointing.
I really enjoyed the Casca series and was excited when I first heard someone was trying to continue it. As I read the book, I became dissapointed especially with the first part of the book where Casca is trapped under a sunken boat at the bottom of the ocean. In other books with similar situations, ...

Casca: The Mongol #22 6 reviews Barry Sadler
Jove, 1990
Indian Summer for Sadler's writing
+ Mongol genesis well told + Sadler's Final Word
Barry Sadler's Casca books, 22 in all of the (currently written) 26, varied in quality. Some were very good, some ordinary and a couple simply awful. Most of this was due to Sadler's name being put to the work of ghost writers so you can excuse some of the bad novels being written by people who ...

Casca 11/legionnaire (Casca, No 11) 3 reviews Barry Sadler
Jove, 1987
Stark and powerful! Hackworth before his time!
+ Strong story, memorable lesson + Casca in the Foreign Legion!
Sadler brings to the reader the abuses and the bravo sierra of the military, as well as the Brotherhood of men who have survived combat together. This book hit the shelves some time before Col. David Hackworth's < > followed. < > picks up where < > ended. Casca, going by the name Carl Langers, ...

Casca: The Trench Soldier (#21) 4 reviews Barry Sadler
Jove, 1989
Digs a Trench thru your heart...
Barry Sadler wrote such awesome and wonderful pulp fiction stories in the Casca series. Unfortunately, this isn't one of them. Decent in terms of reading about living on the streets of early turn-of-the-century America, along with war in WWI.
But if I was a betting man, I'd bet this wasn't ...

Casca: The Barbarian (Casca #5) 3 reviews Barry Sadler
Ace Charter, 1981
Tales of barbaric lands
+ Top notch novel in the Casca series + Casca series is fun and fantastic pulp fiction!
I like the old tales of barbarian lands before they became civilized, and this novel plants me right in the middle of this. You can imagine the unbroken forests and sylvan glades as Casca and his German friend Glam journey through virgin woodland. The tale of the Norse castle at Helsfjord is well ...

Casca #09: Sentinel 2 reviews Barry Sadler
ACE Charter, 1983
Sentinel keeps series going well
+ Casca's Brotherhood confrontation
This story was well written, albeit with a little confusion at the start. The plot takes in the confrontation between the Brotherhood and Casca and his fight to keep them off his family. Set against this is a war he has to fight in Africa in post-Roman times and you have the right mixture of ...

Casca: African Mercenary 4 reviews Barry Sadler
Charter Adventure, 1984
A FUN READ I SUPPOSE
+ Casca's African Adventure! + Casca's Wild Geese adventure
This is probably not one of Sadler's best but is a fun read never-the-less. The reviewer that compaired this work to the film "The Wild Geese," pretty well hit the mark. Casca, Gus and his crew drop into an African Nation, kill it's leader, per their contract with the S. Afrian Government and the ...

Barry Sadler's Casca: The Defiant (Barry Sadler's Casca) 12 reviews Paul Dengelegi
Jove, 2001
Better but still not Sadler
Paul Denegelegi's second Casca book is markedly better than the first but still contains a little too much over descriptive passages, making the book a little heavy at times. This story has Casca meeting a young Marco Polo in Venice and then accompanying him to China and the court of Kubilai Khan ...

Casca: The Persian 2 reviews Barry Sadler
Ace Charter, 1982
Casca hot in Persia
+ A burning story - Casca roasted well and good.
This is another great early Casca story. Casca rides from China and saves some kid from the Huns. The kid turns out to be Jugotai's son (see The Warlord) and Casca ends up in Persia where he joins the king's household guard. But the vizier is a sneaky Brotherhood agent who thinks up some nasty fate ...

This is set in 1718, as the first few pages tell us. Casca is stranded on Jamaica and while he waits for a ship off the island, he's contracted by a plantation owner who wants his niece back, who happens to be a prisoner of a pirate captain. Casca's adventures takes him to Blackbeard's ship ...

Casca 18: The Cursed (Casca, No 18) 4 reviews Barry Sadler
Jove, 1987
Humour and Revolt
Casca gets involved in the Boxer rebellion in China in 1899-1900 and fights on the Chinese side against the imperialist British oppressors. Well, that's the condensed version, but I found it by far the most hilarious of the Casca stories (the parade ground scene with the corpse on the ...

Casca The Warrior (Casca No. 17) 5 reviews Barry Sadler
Jove, 1987
Heart of a Warrior
Here is where the cover artwork started making Casca looking like Fabio in romance novels. Great artwork, but bad rendition when others were so spot-on.
Anyway, this was a interesting, albeit sometimes dull, novel. Casca is shipwrecked on an island of cannibals. Fighting and surviving like a ...

Back seat Casca
While more interesting than many of the Cascas between 13-21, this one was a little different in that Casca wasn't the main character. The chief actor in this story was Jinto Muramasa, swordsman and fugitive. Casca hitches up with him early on and throughout this book has the appearance of a ...
