Jay Penner

Jay Penner writes ancient historical fiction — pulse-pounding novels set in the turbulent worlds of ancient Egypt, Rome, Mesopotamia, and India, where meticulous research blurs the line between fact and fiction. His ancient historical fiction has found readers around the world.

He is the author of four ancient historical fiction series: Whispers of Atlantis (lost cities, buried armies, and ancient secrets across the ancient world), The Last Pharaoh (the rise, reign, and fall of Cleopatra), The Spartacus Rebellion (the soldier-slave-gladiator who shook Rome), and The Greatest Enemy (one man's vendetta forged in Hannibal's war on Rome).
