Continuing the satisfyingly brutal series of stories, in which Casca Longinus encounters near death experiences around the world, century after century, after being comdemned to eternal life "as a soldier" until Christ's return on Judgement Day.In this story, Casca sails to the new world abord a Viking dragonship, and has his heart ceremoniously cut out atop an Aztec pyramid. When he stands up and reinserts his apparently not-so-vital organ, he is instantly deified as "Casca, God of Death."Trivia note: Barry Sadler is the composer and singer of the "The Ballad of The Green Berets."
