Attila: The Judgement
Author(s): William Napier
The infamous leader of the Huns stills thirsts for blood and supremacy as he crosses the Danube and prepares to attack the Western Empire and face once more his boyhood friend-turned-foe: Aetius the Roman. For Attila is set on a plan that will take him right through the entire Italian peninsular and up to the gates of of Rome. He must weigh up whether he should attack this the greatest of cities or whether the gamble is too high, even for the most battle-hardened of warlords. In this tumultuous conclusion to the life of the warrior, we see the biggest choices of his blood-soaked career played out, and travel with him right into the silken tent where Attila must ultimately face his destiny.

Attila is one of those elusive figures whose notoriety is only exceeded by his mystery. The perfect mix for historical fiction. William Napier is a fantastic craftsman of prose and possesses a wealth of knowledge of the time. An impressive combination. Napier receives excellent reviews: 'A rip-roaring...tale jam-packed with epic set pieces, bloody battles...a gripping novel' Daily Mail.
