4.0 out of 5 stars One of the best in the series, February 6, 2006

This review is from: Casca #02: God of Death (Mass Market Paperback)

This was an early Sadler Casca novel and is accordingly one of the best. He weaves a fascinating tale of vikings sailing across the Atlantic and finding North America in the 3rd century, before sailing south to what is now Mexico and becoming involved in pre-Columbian inter tribal politics. Casca at the heart of the tale, falls in love with one of the women of the tribe and survives a sacrificial rite to become a living god amongst them.

Set in between books 5 and 3 (they were not written in order!) its a damned good yarn.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Free SF Reader, March 5, 2008

Blue Tyson "- Research Finished" (Legion clubhouse) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Casca #02: God of Death (Mass Market Paperback)

Human sacrifice will backfire if you pick an immortal.

I didn't like this one as much as the first, but still a fine adventure.

Basically, all you have to hear is this 'Vikings vs Olmecs' and what more do you need to know?

Ok, one more thing - what happens when you try and do the chop the heart out ritual thing on someone curse dby the 'sun of gud' to not die.

Casca, of course, living has to keep wondering, much as they who come later MacLeod's, and is pretty much of the same school of decent bloke.

The setup here is the discovery in a museum of armor of the time of this particular escapade, and an artifact whose face looks rather like Casca's.

Absolutely worth giving one of these books a go if you like this sort of genre.
