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.
