THEY KNEW THEY WERE GOING TO DIE.... Surrounded by Cuban "advisors," and "Nationalist Front" native Marxists, they knew that if they fought on they would be annihilated. If they surrendered there would be a show-trial first, but death lay at the end of that road too. There was, however, a third alternative.... Illustrated by Bermejo

Janissaries
This illustrated novel attempts to be a Burrough's type Mars series, updated for the seventies. Unfortunately, it succeeds.
Rick Galloway, leading a bunch of mercs in a backwater war in Africa is surrounded by Marxist troops, and their Cuba "advisors" when they are picked up by a flying saucer and taken to planet out in the cosmos.
Turns out the planet can, for a limited time, produce a narcotic the aliens want. The troops have to subdue the planet's population, and grow the crop, or be wiped out.
When they land, Rick is ousted from his leadership, and travels the land. Of course, he rescues a princess, and becomes a conquering hero. Despite the swashbuckling premise, the book itself strips almost all of the fun from it. That's about as 1970's as it gets, isn't it?
The illustrations were pretty good.
