But he soon learns that Attila intends to conquer Rome itself, and is caught between two mighty empires, both poised for one of the greatest conflicts the world has ever seen....

Sign of a bad book, #42: excessive use of exclamation marks, which is especially egregious when characters continually yell at each other to "Think!" or "Think it through!" Dietrich is guilty of this and several other literary crimes in The Scourge of God. Dietrich chose a fascinating period of history and squandered it with cringe-worthy...
