MY REVIEW
Being the Gray Man didn’t mean being in control all the time. Sometimes it meant relinquishing all control, playing the game, and dealing with fucking bullshit, like some asshole standing on the back of your head.
To those who lurk in the shadows, he’s known as the Gray Man. He is a legend in the covert realm, moving silently from job to job, accomplishing the impossible and then fading away. And he always hits his target. Always.
Court Gentry is an awesome character. I love an assassin and he is one of the best I have ever come across. He has his own set of ethics and works outside the law. The only complaint I have about him is…why I have I not read the first five books in the series. I LOVE HIM. He is a perfect fit for me.
The nonstop action had me rapidly flipping pages. I won the book some time ago and it is 494 pages of nonstop action. It’s a good thing I knew he couldn’t die, because Mark Greaney puts him through Hell and I found it hard to look away.
I’ll definitely be reading more of the Gray Man’s books.
GOODREADS BLURB
Mark Greaney, the #1 New York Times bestselling co-author of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan novels, delivers another breakneck thriller following the world’s deadliest assassin the Gray Man.
After five years on the run Court Gentry is back on the inside at the CIA. But his first mission makes him wish he had stayed on the outs when a pair of Chinese agents try to take him down in Hong Kong. Normally the Chinese prefer to stay eyes-only on foreign agents. So why are they on such high alert?
Court’s high stakes hunt for answers takes him across Southeast Asia and leads to his old friend, Donald Fitzroy, who is being held hostage by the Chinese. Fitzroy was contracted to find Fan Jiang, a former member of an ultra-secret computer warfare unit responsible for testing China’s own security systems. And it seems Fan may have been too good at his job because China wants him dead.
The first two kill teams Fitzroy sent to find Fan have disappeared and the Chinese have decided to supervise the next operation. What they don’t know is that Gentry’s mission is to find Fan first and get whatever intel he has to the US.
After that, all he has to do is get out alive…
