VINTAGE, 1980, CASCA THE PANZER SOLDIER, ORIGINAL PRINTING, MINT CONDITION!!! Casca is a series of historical fantasy novels created by author Barry Sadler in 1979. The stories revolve around the exploits of Casca Rufio Longinus, the Roman legionary who drove the Holy Lance into the side of Jesus Christ on Golgotha. As a result of this action, Casca is cursed with immortality, and he is to wander the Earth aimlessly, always as a soldier, until the Second Coming. The character is loosely based on the Longinus legend of Christianity. A Panzer soldier for the brutal Third Reich, Casca becomes entrenched in Hitler's Nazi war machine and is forced to pit his credit as a soldier against his moral judgment of humanity. Sporting the honorable Knight's Cross and a silver tanker's badge, Casca leads the 1st. SS Panzer Regiment against the hammering forces of Ivan, the throttlehold of Russia's military. Comradery, survival instinct, and highly developed German tanks keep Casca and his crew forging ahead, but when the reality of Hitler's sinister manifesto is revealed to them, they begin to question their role in the destruction of humankind. And that's just the beginning...
