With the dreadful 2020 drawing to a close, Panayotis finished his sixth novel, hoping its satirical foretelling of the future will not come to pass... London 2030. When a postman knocks on his door, the news he delivers will cause 70-year-old Anthony Pablo Rubens to reflect on all the sadnesses and joys of the past, while he begins to prepare for the surprises of the future. The present is a Kafkaesque “nightmare worse than 1984, a hideous world where people don’t need to be watched by Big Brother.” A dystopian political satire, THE COLDNESS OF OBJECTS is also a story of loss, and of different kinds of love. Also naming it as one of their "Best Books of 2021", in another starred review Kirkus Reviews have described it as "a thoroughly gripping novel" and an "intriguing, timely, and terrifying portent of life after Covid-19."

For his seventh novel, released in February 2023, Panayotis has returned to a lighter mood, a much-needed shift after the events of recent years. A satirical take on the multiplying ways in which art and the media, and even we ourselves in our daily interactions, are constantly blurring the line between fiction and fact, REIMAGINING BEN is also a tongue-in-cheek celebration of the trials and tribulations, triumphs and occasional absurdities, of our complex modern-day relationships and imperfect modern-day lives. In what Kirkus Reviews have described as a “lightly absurdist comedy”, "a book of big, farcically dramatic moments" and a “humorous and entertaining character study of two brothers besieged by the preposterous", 33-year-old Jay embarks on a short, sharp journey of belated self-discovery, while constantly being goaded and taunted by his gay twin brother George.
