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.
