The Desert Mercenary (Casca, 16)

Rating:
Summary: Desert suicidal mission for Casca
Review: Its the late 50s and Casca and Gus (his pal from WW2) team up with a hardened band of mercs to rescue a couple of American civilians from the clutches of Tuareg tribesmen. A gripping tale but sometimes the plot slips and you have to backtrack to check out that you didn't miss something. This is something of a cross between the Dirty Dozen and the Wild Geese. Certainly worth a read for the escapist military adventure fan out there.
