Praise for Pulitzer Prize winner WILLIAM DIETRICH

and

THE SCOURGE OF GOD

“Fascinating . . . Late antiquity hasn’t produced many historical novels, despite being packed with events and characters so bizarre that they verge on the surreal. Novelist William Dietrich . . . is one of the few who have undertaken to mine the drama from this neglected age . . . Dietrich’s fictional characters . . . are recognizable and credible . . . He effectively depicts the butchery, confusion, and chaos of the ancient battlefield . . . An immensely readable glimpse of what the death struggle between Rome and Attila might have been like.”

Tacoma News Tribune

“Full of rich, often gruesome detail, woven through with raw passion, this historical novel depicts Attila and his Huns in a welcome light: barbarians, albeit savage, yet refreshingly human . . . For readers who find history books dull and dry, Dietrich has the antidote.”

Seattle Times

“Rousing . . . The story unfolds swiftly and satisfyingly.”

Publishers Weekly

“[Dietrich writes] page-turning historical fiction seething with action, adventure, and romance.”

Booklist

“[A] strong novel . . . Well researched and told in a language that makes the reader believe . . . Reading

[ The Scourge of God] is a very good idea.”
