Genre: Historical, Fantasy, Religious
Casca #1: The Eternal Mercenary
After the crucifixion of Jesus, Casca’s first love and home–the Roman tenth legion–is cruelly seized from him when he defies authority and responds to untimely opposition with murder, landing him a life sentence of slavery. However, what he deems the end of his life is only the beginning. Spanning a journey of one-hundred and fifty years, his battles take him from the great empire of Rome to Greece, Khmer, Vietnam, and finally to Israel. Defying the torture of never ending sameness, a man who cannot die, does not age, and lives by the sword, can only become known as THE ETERNAL MERCENARY.
Casca #2: God of Death
Casca is cursed by Jesus on Golgotha and condemned to the immortal and brutal life of a soldier. His travels lead him to the land of the Vikings, where he gathers allies, and then west to Mexico, where he encounters love, danger, and mystical religions. After being captured by the Teotec Indians, he finds himself atop a great pyramid about to be sacrificed by a priest. CASCA deems himself an almighty God, the Teotec’s Quetza, but can he survive the vicious torture and unbearable pain of having a knife plunged into his chest and his heart wrenched out of his body?
Casca #3: The War Lord
Thrown from a Viking ship in the midst of a treacherous storm in the Mediterranean, Casca barely escapes a watery grave, only to face a new adventure teeming with allies, adversaries, and religious fanatics. Fighting off enemies from Saxon raiders to the warring Hsuing-nu tribe, Casca travels from Rome to the Great Wall, where he seeks the wisdom of the Far Eastern culture, but meets up with a devious concubine, who has a battle plan of her own. Once again, Casca must face his eternal curse of immortality as THE WAR LORD.
Casca #5: The Barbarian
As the body count rises higher on the plains of Parthia, Casca reaches his limit and does the unthinkable: he leaves the field. Desertion isn’t taken lightly by the Romans, and though Casca cannot die, he can suffer. His only choice is flight to the Northlands beyond Germany–where the fjords run red with blood.
At the Hold at Helsfjord in the icy Viking terrain of Northern Germany, the beautiful Lida swiftly captures Casca’s heart, but with the vile intervention of a despicable sorcerer, the flames of their love are soon doused with heartache. By the hand of deception, Casca is left to battle the brutal monarch of Helsfjord; and, while exiled to a murky dungeon, an existence composed of his own decay, he once again faces his greatest enemy: immortality.
Casca #6: The Persian
Inducted into Shapur II’s royal forces as a commander, Casca enters the volatile lands of the Persian Empire to battle the military force of the equestrian Huns. However, other powers are teaming to plot Casca’s demise; Rasheed, trusted advisor to the king, seeks a death sentence for Casca. Though cursed to journey an immortal life of a soldier, can Casca survive burning at the stake?
Casca #13: The Assassin
Casca, the Eternal Mercenary, is captured by the fanatical Hashishi and forced to commit murder in the name of Hassan al Sabah, but he will risk everything to find a life of a his own.
Casca #16: Desert Mercenary
The war never ends for Casca, Eternal Mercenary. In a mountain fortress high above the Algerian sands, the son of a wealthy munitions dealer is held hostage. And it’s Casca’s job to get him out. But even Casca’s "dirty dozen" mercenaries might not be able to overcome 200 of the toughest men the desert has ever spawned.
