John Maddox Roberts
A Green Beret turned genre adventurer, equally at home in ancient Rome, far-future space, and Conan's Hyborian age.
John Maddox Roberts was a prolific and versatile American author, a Vietnam veteran and former Green Beret who wrote across science fiction, fantasy, and historical mystery. He is best known for the acclaimed SPQR series of ancient-Roman detective novels, but in SF and fantasy he produced original space opera like the Spacer and Cingulum series and wrote eight well-regarded Conan novels.
Roberts brought a soldier's eye and a historian's curiosity to fast, robust adventure, equally comfortable inventing far-future worlds or playing in Robert E. Howard's Hyborian age. Expect brisk plotting, vivid action, and an old-school storyteller's confidence. Whether you're after far-future space opera or Hyborian-age sword and sorcery, the individual book pages will steer you to the right shelf — his range is wide — and each entry is rated for age and content so you can match the book to the reader.
