Conquering Casca!
This novel was a historical treat, but still somehow coming up short, overall. It could have been better. But after reading some of the others after book 14, it definately could have been much worse. The cover art is wonderful here. And the book, reminiscent of Book #2, God of Death, but not nearly as good, is still a crowning achivement in...

Casca returns to the land of the Quetza,
By Tony Roberts (Bristol, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Casca #10: Conquistador (Mass Market Paperback)
This story begins with a fascinating passage where casca is a prisoner of the Inquisition and has to endure all sorts of torture. Worth reading over and over again. Later he travels to Cuba and joins Cortes and his expedition to the Aztecs, in the campaign of 1519.The book is well balanced between historical fact and the fiction of Casca's participation, and the final part where the conquistadors make their bid for freedom is full of tension and suspense. I particularly found the part where Casca returns to the place he visited centuries before compelling and memorable. Definitely worth a read and Casca fans will enjoy this one.

Conquering Casca!,
By Apollo Reader (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Casca #10: Conquistador (Mass Market Paperback)
This novel was a historical treat, but still somehow coming up short, overall. It could have been better.But after reading some of the others after book 14, it definately could have been much worse. The cover art is wonderful here. And the book, reminiscent of Book #2, God of Death, but not nearly as good, is still a crowning achivement in historical adventure. Casca fans just want more action and adventure, watching to see how many ways Casca can die, only to come back to bloody life. Well worth your time. |
