The Thrice Named Man is an ambitious seventeen-book historical fiction series by Hector Miller. The series follows a single protagonist across multiple identities and historical settings, from the Scythian steppes to the Roman legions, through Sasanian Persia, Gothic kingdoms, the Illyrian coast, and beyond. Miller launched the series in 2018 with three books released simultaneously: Scythian, Legionary, and Sasanian. Subsequent books have appeared regularly, with Palmyrenian and Warrior published in 2025.
The series is structured to allow readers to enter at the beginning and follow the protagonist’s complete journey, but each volume is set in a distinct historical period with its own self-contained conflict and narrative. The continuity of the central character across radically different cultures and time periods is the series’ defining characteristic.
Miller’s approach is to ground each book in the specific historical reality of its setting, drawing on archaeology, historical sources, and cultural detail. The result is a series that functions as both adventure fiction and an episodic tour through the ancient and early medieval world.
