Casca is the recurring character in the fiction of Barry Allen Sadler, and the catalogue lists 35 titles dated 1977 to 2001, with mercenary troops, prisoners of war, murder for hire and the Vietnam War among the recorded subjects. The Moi (1977) is the earliest entry, followed by God of Death and The Eternal Mercenary in 1979. Sadler, an American singer-songwriter as well as an author, was born November 1, 1940 and died November 5, 1989, at 49, shot in the head in Guatemala City. Military service ran through the work: the Air Force first, then the Army as a Green Beret medic at the rank of staff sergeant, and Vietnam from late December 1964 to late May 1965. The 1966 number-one song The Ballad of the Green Berets carries his name furthest.
