Neil Denby writes historical military fiction set in the Roman Empire. His Quintus Roman Thrillers series, which began in 2023, follows a Roman soldier named Quintus as he rises through the ranks of the army. Each book in the series is titled after the military rank Quintus holds at that point in the story.
With six books published between 2023 and 2026, Denby has quickly built a complete arc for his protagonist. The series appeals to readers who enjoy Roman historical fiction with a focus on military life, battlefield tactics, and the politics of empire. The rank-based structure gives the series a clear sense of progression as Quintus moves from common soldier to elite operative.
