4.0 out of 5 stars Great Triology Sep 3 2011
By catterwally
Format:Paperback
A great triology of two powerful men Attila and Aetius, during the decline of Rome. I found the books to be wonderful and engaging reads. If you are a fan of Michael Curtis Ford and Valerio Manfredi, you will enjoy these books. Some historical details vary, depending on the authors of your choice, but character depth and the story line were well developed and intriguing. I loved them all!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Historical Fiction About Attila the Hun! Mar 21 2010
By Katherine LeSueur - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This tale of a young Attila the Hun is told by Priscus of Panium who is ninety years old. The scribe introduces himself in a few pages then gets on with his story. The next chapter introduces us to a battle where General Stilicho sees for the first time that not all tales told of the fighting style of the Huns is myth and he is amazed at what he sees. Next, we meet Atilla who is being held captive in Rome. During one of his many escape attempts we also meet the cruel hearted shrew that is Princess Galla and one of Atilla's protectors, General Stilicho's wife Serena. The rest of the story details the beginning of the fall of Rome and Attila's fight to make it home to his tribe, the feared Huns.

I thought the book was well written, there is a lot of violence both to animals (which I flinched through) and humans (which is expected) but there isn't as much swearing as some other reviewers report. This is the beginning of a trilogy detailing Attila's life and I can't wait to get my hands on the next two installments. I really like how the first book is just about young Attila leaving the reader eager to add more to the story when the book is drawn to a close.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well-Written Feb 12 2010
By BookAddict - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I thought this book was very well written. Napier paints a vivid picture of life during the fall of Rome. Attila is the first book in a trilogy and follows Attila the Hun through his childhood. Reading this novel is like taking a giant step backward in history.

Attila is a slow-moving story. Napier takes his time and captures the essence of life in a world that was battling for land and religious dominance. And because Napier is such an incredible storyteller, I was more than happy to take that slow stroll along with him

3.0 out of 5 stars Too Many Coincidences April 15 2010
By L. E Johnson - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Some of this book is good but there are too many coincidences, such as when the good guys arrive just in time to save Attila's and Aetius's lives out in the middle of the steppes. Also there are sloppy misspellings of Roman words and the names of cities--"Noviomagnus," for instance, instead of "Noviomagus." Attila is such a little prick he doesn't gain much sympathy from me. I guess that's the way it's supposed to be, but it's annoying at times. I'll probably read the rest of these books when they come out but I'm not anxiously awaiting them.
