Brian Drake

Brian Drake writes action thrillers built around intelligence work, pursuit, and protagonists under pressure. The Glinkov Extraction is the third Scott Stiletto novel and sends the former CIA operative into a mission involving a Russian scientist, state security, and rival loyalties. Wolfpack Publishing issued the book in 2019. Drake's own bibliography places it after The Termination Protocol and The Fairmont Maneuver, giving the novel a position in Stiletto's story. His fiction also includes the Steve Dane, Sam Raven, and American Hero series, each using a different lead while retaining an emphasis on pace and operational detail. Rather than treating the mission as an isolated adventure, The Glinkov Extraction draws on earlier relationships and leaves Stiletto balancing professional duty against personal trust. That continuing tension gives Drake's series its connective thread.
