The Scourge of God - first US edition

by William Dietrich - signed

This is the story of Attila's western march against Rome. Set in the dark final days of the Roman Empire, Dietrich's rousing fifth novel (after Hadrian's Wall, etc.) chronicles the bid of the charismatic Attila the Hun to conquer the West and dominate all of Europe. Standing in his way are the crumbling vestiges of the Roman Empire, now divided between West (Rome) and East (Constantinople) and still struggling with the adoption of Christian faith.

Book has charcoal-gray boards quarter-bound with black cloth; title in red on the spine. Signed by the author on the title page.

Jacket is price-intact at $24.95; protected in mylar.
