Suspense | Thriller

Court Gentry has been living on the run for years now. He has become famous for killing people who needed killing. He is one of the best, if not the best, assassins in the world, known as the Gray Man. He is tired of running and now that he has found a way back into America, he will find out why the government turned on him. Court was trained by the U.S. Government, who he worked for until he was betrayed and his own team sent to kill him. He killed all of them except one who escaped his wrath and is now helping to hunt him. What he discovers while trying to clear himself is a conspiracy at the highest levels. He must get the truth out there and save himself from the constant attack by killers. He will stop at nothing and they will soon find out why he is called The Gray Man. Court Gentry is one of the best written action, spy thriller, dark hero's out there. Definitely on par with character like Scott Harvath, Mitch Rapp, Jason Bourne, Jack Ryan and his son. Ironically Mark Greaney has taken over writing Jack Ryan and Jack Ryan Jr. books for Tom Clancy; I'm glad he took a break to get us caught up on Court and come to a place in the story fans have been waiting for. If you are a fan of thrillers, then you need to read Mark Greaney. You don't need to start with the first book THE GRAY MAN, but you should and keep reading until you get to BACK BLAST. I cannot say enough about this series and this character. I'd say he is surrounded by a great group of supporting characters, but the Gray Man doesn't need help. No one plans and executes a plan like he does. He leaves nothing to chance and never stops. Let's just hope Mark Greaney doesn't stop and keeps delivering Gray Man books for years to come.

SUMMARY

From the #1 New York Times bestselling co-author of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan novels, comes an all-new explosive thriller featuring the lethal assassin known as the Gray Man… Court Gentry was the CIA’s best agent. Until the day the Agency turned against him and put out a kill on sight order. That’s when the enigmatic international assassin called the Gray Man was born—and Court has been working for himself ever since. Now, Court is back in Washington looking for answers. He’s determined to find out what happened all those years ago that made the Agency turn against him. On his list to interrogate are his former partners and the men who sent him on his last mission. What he doesn’t realize is that the questions that arose from that mission are still reverberating in the U.S. intelligence community, and he’s stumbled onto a secret that powerful people want kept under wraps. And now, they have Court in their crosshairs. Court Gentry is used to having people on his trail, but this time, it’s on U.S. soil—the last place he wants to be. Now, he’ll have to find the answers to his fate while evading capture…and avoiding death
