George Portman

"The le Carré of cyber thrillers."

George Portman is the New York Times bestselling author of the Blake Knox series, hailed as "The most original thriller series in decades — simply essential." His work is known for combining the momentum of classic American thriller writing with an unusually close attention to how technology reshapes the landscape of human decision-making — and human vulnerability.

Before turning to fiction, Portman spent nearly two decades working at the intersection of financial services and trading technology — an experience that gave him an early, ground-level view of how deeply systems could be gamed by those who understood them from the inside.
