George Blake bol škótsky spisovateľ, známy predovšetkým svojimi románmi o robotníkoch v lodeniciach na rieke Clyde. Jeho diela sa vyznačujú realistickým zobrazením života a práce týchto mužov, často zasadeným do sociálneho a ekonomického kontextu Clydeside. Blake majstrovsky zachytáva ich nádeje, boje a každodennú realitu s citom pre detail a autentickosť. Jeho písanie je hlboko zakorenené v škótskej identite a robotníckej triede.
