Gregory David Roberts is an Australian author whose life story is as dramatic as his fiction. A convicted armed robber, he escaped Pentridge Prison in 1980 and fled to India, where he spent ten years living in the slums of Bombay. That experience became the basis for Shantaram (2003), a sprawling novel that became an international bestseller.

The Mountain Shadow (2015) continued the story, and The Spiritual Path (2021) moved into philosophical territory. His most recent work, Heart of Iron (2024), marks a departure into fantasy with the World of Valgard series.
