Best-selling and award-winning author Mike DeLucia, known for acclaimed works like Being Brothers and Madness: The Man Who Changed Basketball, has unveiled his most ambitious story yet — Time Passages: Echoes of Troy.
Blending science fiction, ancient history, and heart-pounding adventure, DeLucia’s latest novel takes readers on an unforgettable journey that bridges modern America and the mythical world of ancient Troy.
At the center of this sweeping epic is Alfred “Brodi” Brodini, a decorated Italian-American Navy SEAL who finds himself hurled through time into the age of kings and warriors. There, he becomes entangled in the power struggles of King Nekrion, the brilliant yet unstable ruler of Troy, and Princess Valeria, a noblewoman torn between duty, faith, and love.
Part Gladiator, part Outlander, and part Game of Thrones, Time Passages stands apart for its authentic portrayal of Italian-American strength and morality. DeLucia continues his mission to bring depth and dignity to Italian characters—portraying them not through cliché, but as heroes of intelligence, integrity, and heart.
“I wanted to create a story that redefines how Italian-American characters are seen in fiction,” DeLucia says. “Brodi is a man of honor and conviction—a symbol of courage who represents the best of us, not the stereotypes.”
Literary award winner, DeLucia is celebrated for his cinematic storytelling and emotionally charged narratives that resonate across generations. Time Passages marks his evolution from contemporary realism to epic fantasy while retaining the human themes that have defined his career: family, faith, sacrifice, and redemption.
Time Passages: Echoes of Troy is now available on Amazon (Paperback, eBook, and Kindle Unlimited) and at select independent bookstores across New York.
