Pan Macmillan has announced the release of The Sword of Attila - Total War: Rome.
The Sword of Attila - Total War: Rome by David Gibbins is the second book in the epic Total War series.
AD 439: the Roman Empire is on the brink of collapse. With shocking speed a Vandal army has swept through the Roman provinces of Spain and north Africa, conquering Carthage and threatening Roman control of the Mediterranean. But a far greater threat lies to the east, a barbarian force born in the harsh steppe lands of Asia, warriors of unparalleled savagery who will sweep all before them in their thirst for conquest - the army of Attila the Hun.
For a small group of Roman soldiers and a mysterious British monk, the only defense is to rise above the corruption and weakness of the Roman emperors and hark back to the glory days of the Roman army centuries before, to find strength in history. But then they devise a plan of astonishing audacity that will take them to the heart of darkness itself, to the stronghold of the most feared warrior-king the world has ever known. In the showdown to come, in the greatest battle the Romans have ever fought, victory will go to those who can hold the most potent symbol of war ever wrought by man - the sacred sword of Attila.
The Sword of Attila - Total War: Rome is a fantastic edition to the Total War series, and David Gibbins does a great job of telling the story in a way that anyone can understand and follow. The author is well-versed in 5th-century warfare and this is very evident by how immersive and vivid that the story is within this entertaining novel.
In the end, The Sword of Attila - Total War: Rome offers a great read and allows gamers to venture into the history of the Total War series. If you would like to learn more, visit the official Total War: Rome website.
