Casca The Pirate,
By Tony Roberts (Bristol, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Casca 15 The Pirate (Casca, No. 15) (Paperback)
One of the later in Sadler's era as Casca writer. Quite possibly written by a ghost writer as the writing style differs widely from Sadler's early books which he definitely wrote. By this time Sadler was in Guatemala involved in other projects and writing the other series he is known for, the "Rossen" sniper series etc.This story is set in 1718 and has Casca employed as a man sent to bring back a kidnapped girl from the clutches of a pirate. Casca finds that not all is as it seems and is kidnapped himself on the way andends up marooned on a desert island with two antagonistic groups of sailors for company. How he gets off the island and completes his mission is for the reader to discover. This story is one of the least popular in the series, but to my mind not one of the worst. It has the feel of the period so the writer certainly is effective in bringing to reader into the period. Where it falls down is in the depth of character to Casca. You don't feel its really him. |
