Desert Mercenary — Barry Sadler

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

With a hardcore group of international mercenaries, Casca assaults a fortress on a mountaintop high above the blistering Algerian desert--to rescue the son of a wealthy munitions dealer and his wife. But even Casca's "dirty dozen" might not be able to overcome two hundred of the toughest men the desert ever spawned.
