Casca: The Persian (Action/Adventure Series)

Rating:
Summary: Casca's Persian Adventures
Review: Casca returns from the Chinese empire and runs into Shapur II, the reigning king of the Persian Empire. Almost against his will, Casca joins the empire and becomes one of its greatest generals. As a whole, this story weaves good historical fact research with excellent military strategy. The battle scenes in this book are well planned and completely original. The major fallback to this novel is the woman whom Casca falls for. The story lacks a strong romantic base, and the romance detracts from the storyline and the series in general. All in all, this title lives up to the series name and Sadler's writing ability.
