Picked up more dead than alive from the North Sea, Casca is
taken to an Alexandria hospatial. His amazing power of recovery
arouses the suspicion of medical orderly Ieaun Clark and when
Casca escapes, fearing his immortality would be discovered, two
British soldiers are accidentally killed.
Clark is recruited by the British army o help track Casca down,
so the Eternal Mercenary tries to hide within the ranks of an
Australian unit bound for Gallipoli. Once there, Casca has to
endure the horrors of trench warfare on a narrow front hemmed in
by the Turkish army as well as to evade the closing net led by the
determined Clark.
Casca's situation is not helped by falling for an Australian nurse,
and his identity is jeopardized when one of his colleagues decides
to betray him to the military police. Once again Casca must use
his centuries of knowledge and skill to outwit an implacable
enemy.
