Reading Order

Blake Brier

By L.T. Ryan and Gregory Scott

Blake Brier knows how to operate in the field and how to think his way through a technical problem. Neither skill makes it easy to stay out of trouble. Unmasked draws the former CIA operative from seclusion into a case involving hackers and a growing terrorist threat. Written by L.T. Ryan and Gregory Scott, the series brings technology, investigation, and hands-on action into the same dangerous assignments.

For readers who enjoy an operative with technical expertise, threats that move between computer systems and the physical world, and a conspiracy that demands more than one kind of skill to untangle.

Start Here

Start with Unmasked, Blake Brier Book 1. Continue through the numbered sequence to Quarry. The two three-book collections cover Books 1–3 and 4–6, respectively.

Reading Order

Follow the eight Blake Brier novels in numbered order, from Unmasked through Quarry. Collections are alternative ways to read part of that sequence.

  1. UnmaskedBy L.T. Ryan and Gregory Scott
  2. UnleashedBy L.T. Ryan and Gregory Scott
  3. UnchartedBy L.T. Ryan and Gregory Scott
  4. DrawpointBy L.T. Ryan and Gregory Scott
  5. ContrailBy L.T. Ryan and Gregory Scott
  6. DetachmentBy L.T. Ryan and Gregory Scott
  7. ClearBy L.T. Ryan and Gregory Scott
  8. QuarryBy L.T. Ryan and Gregory Scott

Unmasked establishes Blake’s return to action and the combination of operational and technological skills that defines his starting point. Begin there, then read Unleashed and Uncharted. The opening three novels are also collected together, so the sequence is the same whether you choose those individual titles or the Books 1–3 collection.

Drawpoint, Contrail, and Detachment make up the next three books. Their Books 4–6 collection continues directly after Uncharted. Keep the collection numbers distinct from the novel numbers: a second collected volume contains three novels and is not itself Blake Brier Book 2.

Finish this eight-book reading list with Clear and then Quarry. This page is a guide to the listed books; it does not treat the last title in the list as a promise that the character’s story is permanently finished. Browse by full title when checking editions so that a collection does not duplicate books you already have.
