CASCA: God of Death #2 by Barry Sadler
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Soldier, slave, lord, lover. The Eternal Mercenary had been all of these in his two and a half centuries of existence, but nothing he'd encountered was to prepare him for what he was to experience next. Sailing west from Helsford, he and his intrepid band of adventuring Vikings find a strange, foreign land where snakes had rattles, the swamps contained hideous creatures, and the warriors took captives to sacrifice on top of their blood-soaked temples.

Taken prisoner himself, Casca is sacrificed to the savage gods, but the man who cannot die reclaims his heart and rises from the altar to become a god himself amongst the Teotee. But war comes to his people and so Casca must battle and so becomes a god of death.
