John Drake writes historical fiction spanning naval adventure and ancient mystery. His Fletcher series, which began publication in 2015, follows a naval officer through seven books of seafaring action during the Age of Sail. A companion volume, The Fletcher Companion, provides background material for the series.
Drake’s John Silver trilogy — Flint and Silver, Pieces of Eight, and Skull and Bones — reimagines the backstory of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Long John Silver. His Londinium series, set in Roman London, blends historical detail with murder mystery across three books. Drake has also published several standalone novels including historical thrillers and adventure stories.
