Luigi Kohli (born in London, ENGLAND) is a British business executive turned novelist, his publications to-date being Volumes I and II of the Aletheia trilogy released in 2025.
Biography & career
[edit]Luigi Kohli was born in London in 1965 to an Italian mother and Indian father. The family moved to the south of England where two new additions (bothers) followed. Kohli's early education was in faith schools (Roman Catholic) where he went on to study for his BSc (Hons) in Engineering at Hatfield Polytechnic. His early career was in technical authoring.
After a successful period of running his own company, Kohli took his MBA at Sussex University and subsequently joined Canon (UK) and then shortly afterward the Canon Europe HQ in London where he focused on Services and related strategy for B2B. Kohli left Canon in 2022 after 27 years to turn his hand to writing, his debut novel a project he had wanted to write since his teens. Aletheia.
Novels
[edit]Luigi Kohli's debut novel is entitled 'Aletheia'. It is an historical history trilogy, continuing the story of Judah Ben-Hur as written by Lew Wallace in 1880. Only now from the view point of two sons of Rome who are caught up in a rivalry that will change their lives, and that of the world, forever.
Aletheia Vol. I: In The Shadows, and Vol II: The Binds Of Fate, were first published in 2025 by Troubador Publishing. Vol. III: Dawn Of The Ascendant, is due for release in 2026.
Aletheia took two years to write, the first of which was dedicated to book research which included the novel by Lew Wallace himself[1], The World of Saint Paul[2] and Germanicus[3]. Kohli visited the Holy Land in Israel in November of 2022 to supplement his work. The novels include a number of maps. These have been re-drawn from multiple sources to authentically represent the territories, landmarks and cities as they would have been circa AD 37 to 48. The British Library houses a map room with an extensive collection of ancient maps.
Excerpt from Aletheia Vol. I: In The Shadows
[edit]From the edge of the camp, Michtam watched in mild satisfaction and with some relief. He was pleased. Pleased that the nonsense of pretence was over, more sure than ever they would continue east and be out of his way. Justus had seemed to latch on to the story of the Jewish prince, perhaps making the connection with the return of Valerius Gratus to Rome and his father’s posting, the story of the Badawi and merchants unfolding before his very ears. Who could have known? Luckily, it was unlikely to matter now, with any loose ends Justus might have followed inconsequential.
Their coming into Michtam’s life had brought nothing but trouble. It was all that Romans were good for, even the best of them, and if trouble should find them again, he was determined that it should be for the last time. He would do what must be done. He was not Arrius and he had come too far to give up on his dreams, even now. The damage done thus far was recoverable. Lucius would see the sense in keeping the status quo, even if the story about Simonides seemed to be as leaky as an old bucket. After all, he had his unique advantage. As long as Lucius was in Syria, he needed Michtam as much as Michtam and his associate needed him. All he needed to do was ensure the Parthians remained loyal to Simonides and his wishes, and if not his wishes, then at least to the money now at his disposal. He had proven Arrius wrong once before in this regard, the Sicarii leaving him to his own business, and he would do so again with the Parthians.
By the time the camp was in formation and on the move, the sky was black, the moon casting long shadows from the ridgetops, the temperature dropping sharply. There was now no doubt as to the direction of the storm, the breeze, directly in front, lifting the finer grains of dust into the air before them. They had decided to move ahead in the night despite the possibility of running into it, mainly because time was money and, the merchants had finally agreed, storms were not new to them. They had encountered them before and this one would be no different, visible enough in advance to billet at short notice and ride it out. They were not to know Zeus was coming.
