This is the second book of Sadler's Casca Series. As with several of the other books in this series, it is not in absolute chronological order. You have to keep reading the series and put the chronology in order yourself. This is okay though and does not distract from the story one bit. This is classical Sadler stuff. The story line hold true and Casca remains Casca. The story concerns his voyage to the new world with members of his Norse group. Each page is filled with typical Sadler action and can truely be classified as a page turner. I am a Sadler fan and do feel this was one of the better stories in the servies...everyone has their favorite though. Recommend this one highly.

The second book of the series, but oddly the third chronologically, follows on from the Barbarian and tells of the voyage of Casca and his vikings across the ocean to Central America where Casca becomes at first a captive of the ancient Teotec peoples.

After surviving a sacrifice he becomes revered as a god and helps win his people a war, but at a cost. For those who wish to find out more, please read this book as its one of the best in the series.

This series came out before the movie Highlander did, and if Casca were made right, it would blow highlander away! Read these novels and you will see.

I have always enjoyed picking up a new Casca book, and not knowing where Barry was going to take me. Casca has a flash of megalomania in this book, and wishes to make another immortal, one that will share eternity with him on this earth. I won't give it away, but not everything goes as he plans.
Barry brings us back to a time when human sacrifices where not only done, but those being sacrificed where treated as honored. Another fine story that deals with the pains of his curse.

This series belongs to those classics such as Robert E. Howard's Conan saga, or Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan. Casca is both memorable and one of a kind anti-hero.

God of Death proves that. High octane action and aventure on a cinematic scale seldom seen. A must read for anyone, both male or female.
