I’m in The Damned, now. Good story! I miss the Doctor, though. Bothered as I am by the long reach of the cursed Brotherhood, were they responsible for what happened to Helsfjord?

I’m glad to know. Omnipresent enemies are hard for me.

The Damned is a fine book. Every once in a while, reading these and of course my haphazard knowledge of history, I wonder how the human race made it to now. The story of Casca dying very quickly from the plague, and later freaking Atilla out by proving to be alive made me smile.

Things I expect to come back: Atilla’s treasure. Sleeping away years.

Question: Does Casca start telling women who want him that he can’t sire children?

I’m happily in Soldier of Fortune, now. I’m waiting to find out if Yu Li survives. They’re in what feels like the last firefight.

I love Casca’s two friends, and the reference to his buddy from Panzer Soldier. Loved the sky hooks.

I’m in The Sentinel, now. Very early in, actually, Casca and Ireina are on their way down to the village. I have, unfortunately, caught wind of what’s going to happen with the Brotherhood in this book. I do hate spoilers, but they came with looking up how to spell Ireina’s name, as I’m listening to the audiobooks. I’ll be picking up the ebook for #2 soon.

Still unknown: How did Casca get the power to mesmerize another person and have them relive what he wants them to know of his life?

Since Jesus had the power to make Casca immortal, then unless he’s a monster himself, he also has the power to pass judgement on the Brotherhood. It would be nice to think that these filth end up in Hell for the evils they commit.

I am in The Conquistador. I often need a bit of time between books to digest them. They are each fantastic and very good to read, and I am learning quite a lot that I really didn’t know. I think I am, at any rate. This seems to be the first book in which Casca’s power to share his memories is starting to manifest, as yet he uses it unconsciously.

I’d like to read the poem Casca references in The Sentinel.

Before discovering Casca in a post in a Highlander FB group, I’d read Stirling’s Island in the Sea of Time. That book… was a bit hard to read. There were good bits, and a few interesting moments, but the villains are poorly written and is difficult to believe these men are successful. The writing is also hard with what I feel is its loathing for the native Americans, and its um… love for the people of England.

pre-ordered #50 and it arrived in one week, read in one weekend, understand now why Casca hates the communists so bad.
I would like to see like to see one more adventure with Gus. Maybe after desert Mercenary and before Casca goes to Vietnam. in the Congo during the crisis in the early 60’s, they could work for ‘mad Mike’ Hoare
