The Liberator

Casca Series, Book 23

By: Paul Dengelegi

Narrated by: Gene Engene

This is audiobook #23 in the Casca Series.

Cursed by Christ on Golgotha, condemned to outlive the ages, and wander the globe as a constant soldier. Forever fighting, surviving and waiting for Him to return.

When pirates sink the merchant ship he's traveling on, Casca becomes trapped within the wreckage and dragged to the bottom of the Atlantic, where his immortal curse continues to keep him alive even as he drowns. Years later, he is rescued by African fishermen who believe Casca to be their legendary god of the sea returning to liberate their village from the tyranny of a madman. Feeling indebted to the villagers for rescuing him, the Eternal Mercenary prepares to confront the insane despot.

Exciting, but not a Sadler Story

This author, Paul Dengelegi, spins a great action Casca adventure. The battle scenes are detailed and draw you in to the extent that you can place yourself there.
However, I have a problem with the beginning. Casca’s being alert and “breathing” the salt water, while trapped at the ocean bottom is in conflict with all of Barry Sadler’s previous stories where Casca was is similar circumstances. In all those cases Casca repeatedly drowned, revived, then drowned again until he could affect his rescue.
Other than that one issue I enjoyed “The Liberator” as much as I had the 22 other Casca adventures I have enjoyed before it. Maybe the the fact that Gene Engene has performed all the adventures has added a sense of continuity to these characters and stories.

Enjoyed these books from the first .

Glad to see someone carrying on with this book. I have been a fan since I bought the first book in a local bookstore.

what would be the punishment for the greatest sin

good story, enjoyable to listen to and great road trip story. good series to listen to over time.

BORING

The story had way too much descriptions and history and not enough action. waste of money

This is Casca?

What was most disappointing about Paul Dengelegi’s story?

This was am abysmal attempt at recreating the Casca series. I will say that Mr. dengue legit did improve it his second attempt, Casca: The Defiant.
