This is audiobook #3 in the Casca Series. Casca awoke from a drugged sleep and saw his spear thrust into the side of the man on the cross. His spear...lost when he was sent from Judea! It wasn't a vision - it was the beginning of a threat which would follow Casca through eternity, and cost him the use of his hand.

It was easy for Casca to go along with some of the basic premise behind the Nazi war machine. These men were soldiers, hard fighting men born of the same militaristic outlook that had sustained him since that fateful day at Calvary.

The Plains of Parthia were littered with the bodies of the dead and dying, as Casca, the man who could not die, moved away from the battle. Rome did not take desertion lightly, and while they couldn't kill The Eternal Mercenary, they could make his life a nightmare of pain and torture. His only escape lay in the Northlands beyond Germany, to lands filled with beautiful fjords and horrible bloodlust. Casca the Roman Citizen must become Casca the Barbarian.

Forever fighting, surviving, and waiting for Christ to return.

To avoid the rope, he must penetrate the heart of the mysterious land and bring back word of the impending revolution.
Publisher's Summary
This is audiobook number one in the Casca Series.
When they flew Casey into the hospital at Nha Trang, the medics were sure he would die. That he didn't was only the first surprise. The second, and bigger one, was that Casey had been fighting for 2,000 years, ever since that day on Golgotha when he thrust his lance into the side of the man on the cross. "Soldier, you are content with what you are. Then that you shall remain until we meet again." Thus does Casca's journey begin, a man who cannot die, does not age, and knows no skills but those of battle.

An interesting story for every Soldier to read.
Where does Casca rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
a solid 9 out of 10
Who was your favorite character and why?
Casca: The eternal mercenary's life dichotomy of valiant servant to empire while maintaining a "Howard Roark egotist" type personality parallel the personality of many Soldiers I know, especially the one I watch shave each morning.

Historical fiction at it's best !
I sometimes read pure history books but also enjoy a good scifi/fantasy book on occasion. This one gave me a dash of both and I enjoyed Sadler's writing style and development of both the character and the story.

Can't stop listening
This is as much fun as it is improbable. Based on the legend of Longinus, the author blends Ben Hur and the best of that ilk into a great adventure tale. I am truly addicted to the series.

A great start to the Casca series!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Gene Engene has a great voice for narration and Barry Sadler is an author that can paint a very elaborate and descriptive picture of fight scenes, nature, and old world imagery.
What did you like best about this story?
I hadn't heard of the Casca series until someone mentioned it to me a few weeks ago. After looking the book up I saw there are over 20 books written by Barry Sadler! It's like a Netflix binge, but with a good book series. The story is an interesting take on a man from history not often mentioned and I imagine anyone in Casca's situation would act similar. That is why I liked it so much. It is realistic, and I really got taken to another period of time with this audio book. Great listen and relatively cheap!
Which scene was your favorite?
Casca's faceoff in the gladiator ring with the guy who killed his friend.
If you could rename Casca the Eternal Mercenary, what would you call it?
Casca, Undying Badass!
Any additional comments?
The book is centered around a Roman soldier in 30 something A.D. so it is a little brutal. It also doesn't portray women or other nationalities other than Roman in good lights. It is a historical fiction.

Hard Boiled, historical fiction.
Completely off par with the ancillary spin off stories of encounters and lifes altered by Jesus Christ. This ain't Ben Hur! What makes this book a guilty pleasure, is its assault on the current filters of Feminism, and Political Correctness. The word craft of this tale, punches one in the gut like gulp of two fingers of Old Crow whisky. Unapologetic Pulp fiction....Mac Bolen meets Conan the Barbarian.
