false 2302610 5 For fans of the movie Gladiator comes this bloody account of the clashing of civilizations, as Attila the Hun, "The Scourge of God," struggles to overthrow the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire is weakening. In 367 AD, approximately eight years after the great battle at Hadrian's Wall, Roman garrisons begin to hear rumors of barbarian tribes massing to the north. By 449 AD, Attila, the ruler of the Huns, has become the continent's most powerful monarch, his reputation in battle earning him the title "The Scourge of God." Anticipating an imminent attack by the Huns, Roman leaders negotiate with one of Attila's lieutenants, convincing him to play the part of assassin. He is joined on his mission by a Roman citizen, Jonas, an ambassador dispatched to negotiate a peace treaty with the Huns. When the plot is discovered, Jonas becomes a hostage, forced to fight for his captors if he wishes to remain alive. 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. Jonas, knowing his life could be forfeit, has the potential to tip the battle in either direction––and his decision will alter the face of Western civilization. For readers of historically nuanced thrillers and adventure stories by authors like Bernard Cornwell and Colleen McCullough. For readers interested in Roman and Barbarian culture and warfare. 249520 book 1 3 2005 The Scourge of God total:63|5:9|4:27|3:21|2:5|1:1| 63 227 103 14 2302610 006073499X 9780060734992 49 10 3.60 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2302610.The_Scourge_of_God 4 0 false Tue May 26 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue May 19 19:40:05 -0700 2009 Fri May 29 15:35:08 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2302610 006073499X 9780060734992 49 10 3.60 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2302610.The_Scourge_of_God 3 0 false Tue Jul 15 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 09 12:05:00 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 15 11:28:10 -0700 2008 more...]]> 257458 0060735082 9780060735081 8 2 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173207839m/257458.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/257458.The_Scourge_of_God 4 0 false Mon Mar 16 08:00:14 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 12 06:03:46 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 16 08:00:14 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2302610 006073499X 9780060734992 49 10 3.60 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2302610.The_Scourge_of_God 3 0 false Wed Sep 16 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Dec 27 06:43:57 -0800 2008 Sat Sep 19 06:39:01 -0700 2009 more...]]> 1383361 8466625771 9788466625777 5 2 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1183145867m/1383361.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1383361.Atila_El_azote_de_Dios 4 0 false Mon Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Sep 04 13:48:20 -0700 2008 Wed Sep 17 20:01:10 -0700 2008 Attila is...more...]]> 2302610 006073499X 9780060734992 49 10 3.60 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2302610.The_Scourge_of_God 4 0 false Fri Jan 16 06:42:02 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 06 19:34:36 -0800 2009 2302610 006073499X 9780060734992 49 10 3.60 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2302610.The_Scourge_of_God 3 0 false Tue Jun 17 12:59:22 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 17 13:02:25 -0700 2008 more...]]> 257458 0060735082 9780060735081 8 2 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173207839m/257458.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/257458.The_Scourge_of_God 3 0 false Sun Mar 08 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Oct 27 13:49:43 -0700 2008 Mon Mar 09 13:34:41 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2302610 006073499X 9780060734992 49 10 3.60 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2302610.The_Scourge_of_God 4 0 false Sat Sep 06 12:47:39 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 06 12:48:38 -0700 2008 more...]]> 1383361 8466625771 9788466625777 5 2 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1183145867m/1383361.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1383361.Atila_El_azote_de_Dios 3 0 false Tue Jul 29 11:00:13 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 29 11:01:56 -0700 2008
