Book excerpt: This is the passionate story of a great conqueror and a great lover, who was defeated, in the end, at the head of the greatest army the world had ever seen. Defeated by a single old man, unarmed. It is the story of the first great threat of the East against the West. Throne of the World is a dramatic novel of the triumph of religion over force, a thoroughly modern treatment of the high intrigue, romance, and ruthless adventure in the time of Attila and his hordes as they swept down into Italy from the "roof of the world." It is a full-color picture of fifth-century Europe, with its barbarians, its incredibly courageous Christians, its world-weary Roman aristocrats, its political and amorous plots and counter-plots.
