Well, good to know..

David Gibbins is the author who wrote Destroy Carthage, eh? I think that book is in the bargain bin at my local bookstore..

That being said, I hope that Attila will be an entertaining read.

Ha he's named Gibbins, sounds familiar?. No but I'm sure it's a good book, I just dont read a lot of historical narrative books anymore.

Well, there's some punctuation issues in the 8-line-long excerpt; it truly shows the quality of writing. ^^ If this is what a "bestselling historical novelist" can procreate, I wonder what the mediocre ones are capable of...

So is the book realistic? Does it deal with warfare and sieges in a realistic way? And if so, why can`t we have realistic sieges and battles? Oh, but wait, I forgot...

Earn that pay.

There is already an amazing book with the "The Sword of Attila" by Michael Curtis Ford. David Gibbins could have gone with a more unique name. I strongly recommend that book.
