The Last of the Romans, Book I
In a whirlwind of fire and savagery, Attila the Hun wheels half a million horseman towards Roman territory. Can the battle-scarred general, Avitus, unite dubious allies and mortal enemies to stop the obliteration of Rome?
The Battle of the Catalaunian Plains rages through the night. Individual acts of bravery and cowardice tip the balance. Rivers run red and burst their banks with blood. Dawn draws a portrait of unimaginable carnage.
In a tale of epic deeds, heroes confront insurmountable odds with honour and courage. Avitus faces a myriad of enemies, both Roman and barbarian, but can one man save civilisation?
