Ken Blake is the pen name attached to the novelizations of The Professionals, the British television series that ran from 1977 to 1983. The show followed CI5 agents Bodie and Doyle as they handled organized crime, terrorism, and other threats to national security. The novels adapted and expanded on the show’s episodes, turning hour-long TV plots into paperback thrillers.
The 15 books were published between 1978 and 1982, keeping pace with the show’s original run. As was common with TV tie-in fiction of the era, the Ken Blake name was a house pseudonym shared by multiple writers. The books are primarily of interest to fans of the original series and collectors of 1970s-80s British TV merchandise.
