Pyat Quartet is a tetralogy of speculative fiction novels (1981-2006) by Michael Moorcock comprising Byzantium Endures, The Laughter of Carthage, Jerusalem Commands and The Vengeance of Rome.
The novels are set as if narrated to Moorcock by (fictional) Colonel Pyat or Maxim Arturovitch Pyatnitski (born on 1 January 1900 in Kiev), a classic unreliable narrator.
