'If you think you don't like historical fiction, you haven't read William Napier' THE TIMES The ATTILA trilogy is an incredible story of sex, power and extreme violence and the events that put the final nails in the coffin of Roman Europe. In the bestselling tradition of Conn Iggulden and Steven Pressfield. 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. '[A] rattling good yarn... Napier tells a great story, complete with smells and sounds, and lots of gore. The battle descriptions are particularly good ... I couldn't put it down' Big Issue '[A] rip-roaring account of the boyhood of Attila the Hum, a tale jam-packed with epic set pieces, bloody battles ... [a] gripping novel' Daily Mail. The second novel in the series will be published in Orion trade Autumn 2006.
