Dean De Servienti is a 2026 Page Turner Awards finalist with three novels in three categories: QUANTUM (Suspense & Thriller), THE BUYERS (Action Adventure) and LIFE TURNS (Contemporary Fiction).
Born in Italy, he left home at seventeen to see the world — and never really stopped. He studied Political Science, then spent time in West Africa learning its land and its people at first hand. That curiosity became his life’s work: fiction built on places he has actually stood in and people he has actually met, where the news of the day is the starting point and never the whole story.
QUANTUM opens in a refugee camp in Darfur, where a boy digs a smooth metal cylinder out of a rock 250 million years old — and six scientists who examine it disappear on Christmas Eve. It is the first book of a trilogy, published in English in Antony Shugaar’s translation and reviewed by Kirkus Reviews and Foreword Reviews. THE BUYERS goes to the heart of Africa, where a generation has lost its innocence and a few people refuse to look away. LIFE TURNS slows down to look at what the thrillers leave behind.
He just completed the QUANTUM trilogy.
