Martin Scott is the pen name used by Scottish author Martin Millar for the Thraxas series. The thirteen novels, published between 1999 and 2022, follow Thraxas, a down-on-his-luck private investigator in the fantasy city of Turai. Thraxas is overweight, fond of beer, and not above bending the rules — the opposite of the typical fantasy hero.
The first book, Thraxas (1999), won the World Fantasy Award, and the series continued through twelve more entries including Thraxas and the Warrior Monks, Thraxas at the Races, Thraxas at War, and Thraxas Meets His Enemies (2022). The books mix sword-and-sorcery action with detective-fiction plotting and a strong comedic voice.
