Casca: The Sentinel

Rating:
Summary: One of the best written of the Casca series
Review: There are many reviews here of the books in the Casca series, and little need to review the underlying premise in detail - if you are here, you've read at least one, and know that Casca is the Wandering Noncom - doomed to be a mercenary till Christ returns.

The series is engaging, and this is one of the best. If you have not yet read any, begin with the first if you possibly can. then read a few others. Only with a few Cascas under your belt will you appreciate this book as the essence of the series.

It is sparse, well written, and gives more insight into Casca than most of the other books. If you have read Casca, but not this one, seek it out.

Summary: Worth a read - one of the best Cascas
Review: This is a story of a man's love for his adopted family and of revenge woven into the usual warrior-style book Barry Sadler penned. For that reason its one of the superior Casca novels and shouldn't be missed in favour of one of the turkeys he later wrote. There is also a fairly accurate historical account of the fall of the Vandal kingdom in north Africa, too.
