VINTAGE 1987, CASCA THE PIRATE, BY BARRY SADLER, JOVE EDITION!!! 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. The infamous pirate Bluebeard recruits Casca to rescue the mysterious Michelle LeBeau from a savage madman who wants to use her to build a Pirate Empire. There's a slim chance for success. Casca must succeed or see his own crew of lotal men tortured to death slowly. And that's just the beginning...
