Leon G. Collin is a British writer from Hampshire, a land of ancient estates, quiet horizons, and deep literary roots. He holds a Master in Engineering and an international MBA, and has lived across the United Kingdom, Italy, and the United States, alternating academic and consulting work with a lifelong devotion to writing.
A passionate reader of classical myths and their hidden meanings, he explores the intersection of science, philosophy, and belief — the invisible architecture of human thought. His fiction blends rigorous research with a taste for mystery and moral paradox.
When not writing, he works in his workshop, a converted stone barn where he restores vintage motorcycles — turning rust into precision and silence into rhythm.
Currently, he lives in Northern Italy, where the Franciacorta vineyards meet the foothills of the Prealpi Orobie near Lake Iseo, in an old stone farmhouse he shares with his wife Simona and their Hovawart, Jogan, a fifty-kilo dog of noble bearing and contemplative gaze.
He will debut in November 2025 with Odysseus, reimagining the Homeric myth as a psychological thriller about destiny and control. His second novel, Threads of Time: The Symbol of Caesar (2026), is a historical-science thriller where quantum physics and archaeology converge to unravel a millennia-old design.
He writes not to provide answers, but to ask better questions. His stories weave history, science, and myth into a single thread: the search for meaning in a world that has almost forgotten to look
Twenty years after the fall of Troy, one man sails a sea that no longer remembers his name. The gods are silent, the winds obey other masters, and destiny itself begins to fracture. Yet Odysseus keeps moving, driven by a question no oracle can answer.
Across islands of ruin and temptation, he senses a presence watching from beyond time — a force older than Olympus, guiding and distorting his path. Odysseus reimagines Homer’s epic as a psychological thriller about memory, control, and the invisible design that binds all journeys.
A timeless myth reborn for a modern age of doubt.
For readers who love thrilling tales where myth intertwines with mystery, blending epic adventure with a deeper, hidden truth. For fans of Madeline Miller's reimagining of myth, and Robert Harris' historical intrigue.

Former quantum physics professor turned National Geographic host Marc Valerio never believed that history could hide an equation — until a discovery beneath the Roman Forum forces him to reconsider everything he thought he knew about science and himself.
With archaeologist Maria Elena Sciarra, he follows a trail of forgotten symbols and encrypted fragments stretching from ancient Rome to the present day. What begins as an investigation becomes a race through layers of time, where power, belief, and technology converge under one enduring mark: The Symbol of Caesar.
Threads of Time – The Symbol of Caesar is a historical-science thriller about how far humanity will go to understand the forces that shape its destiny.
Where Dan Brown meets Isaac Asimov — the pace of a modern thriller fused with the imaginative vision of classic storytelling. For readers who love stories that weave history, science, and mystery into one sweeping adventure.

stories where science meets myth and destiny becomes design.
Writing, for me, is a way of crossing time. Every story is a threshold — it opens onto questions humanity has carried for millennia: who shapes our destiny, what survives us in memory, and how much freedom we truly possess.
In my novels, myth, science, and history are not settings but instruments — ways to test the certainty of the present. I’m drawn to the moment when reason falters and doubt begins, where an equation becomes a symbol and an ancient myth reveals something we had forgotten to know.
I don’t write to explain; I write to evoke. To create tension between what we think we understand and what still escapes us. Every book is an experiment in truth — an attempt to look at the invisible with new eyes.
