Casca 8: Soldier of Fortune

by Tony Roberts, Barry Sadler

The Cambodian jungle…an easy place to die. Endless miles of vermin-infested swamps, heavily patrolled by the Khmer Rouge. But for Casca (alias Casey Romain) it is a chance to make $200,000. A fair price for a suicide mission. To earn it, he must parachute deep into the heart of this jungle hell, rescue a family of Chinese refugees… And bring them back to Taiwan – alive.

Just as bad as the others

This is book 8 in the series, and it's bad. Thin characters, predictable plots, and a surprising (or not, considering its vintage) amount of both racism and sexism.

An intriguing series

This series I read more years ago than I want to think about, but it is still well worth reading again. It has interesting characters and an intriguing storyline.

Enjoyed this.

Slowly working through the series. Enjoyable. Was a little bit romantic for my liking, but yes, enjoyed it. Worth the read.

Simple great read. Love the series. Each story stands alone but connected to the 1st novel.

I enjoyed this! It was also nice to read something in the 20th century in order to see Casca embrace the nuances of a "modern world." Can't wait to read the next book!

Immortal warrior

Barry Sadler was a SF solider who became famous for the ballad of the green beret. I live reading the adventure of the forever mercenary.
