Jove, New York, 1988, 2^nd pr.  ISBN 0-515-09701-2.  MMPB, 168 pages.  Very good minus; some edge and cover wear, reading creases on spine and along front hinge, small corner bends; binding sound with a slight lean.  Interior clean and unmarked with tanned pages; number stamped on bottom edge.  ‘Casca returns to the Middle East.  But it’s the twentieth century, and he’s signed on to fight a religious war.  Outnumbered and poorly equipped, many of the recruits have never seen combat.  Casca expects a slaughter.  It won’t be the first time he’s seen his comrades turning the merciless desert sands red with their own blood.  But how could the Eternal Mercenary have known that he’s joined the most devastatingly efficient army of the modern age?  For what begins as a slaughter - ends in a six-day victory!’ (from rear wrap)
