Title: Defiant to the End!
Review: This latest Casca novel, the 2nd in this new authors Casca tryout, is still unfortunately coming up short.Barry Sadler's Casca novels were fantastic pulp hero type action novels, filling a groove for readers that loved such short novels like Conan the Barbarian could truly appreciate.Out of all of Sadler's writing ventures, only Casca really shined like a well polished blade. I still own all of the series.I am glad and humbled that someone has tried to take up the huge writing reins to continue this series. A solid writer could well take on this saga, giving hungry old readers of the series - as well as new ones - new adventures of Casca, the eternal mercenary. There are hundreds of untold times to pick and choose from.As much as I admire someone making an attempt, this author has come up somewhat short of just making a Sadler pulp adventure story. He shows potential, however. Practice makes perfect.Well, one hopes anyway.
