Casca: The Damned

Casca Series, Book 7

By: Barry Sadler

Narrated by: Gene Engene

This is audiobook #7 in the "Casca Series".

In a state of near despair, Casca leaves behind the now dreaded gates of the Persian Empire, and makes his way back to the Northlands. He seeks the walls of Helsfjord and the gates of The Hold. It was there, years before, that the Roman knew his happiest moments.

Soon afterward, he is found living among a pack of wolves as half-man, half-beast. For those unfortunate enough to stumble upon The Hold, he has become known as the "Monster of the Mist," a primitive being who allows no man to escape his clutches alive. He is summoned back from his crazed state to face one of his most formidable foes, the would-be conqueror of all Europe, Attila the Hun.

Damned

Casca as a Roman battles against the Mongol hordes of Atilla the Hun. Ching Li as the scholar makes a great character antagonist. Great story.

Great reading!

Again so easy to get pulled into the story, and become completely one of its many inhabitants... Love this series!!

Lacking

This entire series is a fun historical fiction, not to be taken too seriously. It’s only when Sadler bogs the story down in history, in this case most of this book being about Attila and not Casca, that it seems to drone on and I find myself losing focus. Gene is a killer performer though and is soothing to listen to while working through the day’s remedial tasks.

missing large sections of story.

there were many portions of the story missing. I struggled to stay interested in the book.
