About this ebook

THE FIRST GRAY MAN NOVEL FROM #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR MARK GREANEY - now a Netflix original film starring Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans

'Hard, fast, and unflinching-exactly what a thriller should be.' Lee Child

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.

But there are forces more lethal than Gentry in the world. Forces like money. And power. And there are men who hold these as the only currency worth fighting for. In their eyes, Gentry has just outlived his usefulness.

But Court Gentry is going to prove that, for him, there's no grey area between killing for a living and killing to stay alive...

***********************

'Bourne for the new millenium' New York Times bestselling author James Rollins

'A high-octane thriller that doesn't pause for more than a second for all of its 464 pages...For readers looking for a thriller where the action comes fast and furious, this is the ticket.' Chicago Sun-Times

'Take fictional spy Jason Bourne, pump him up with Red Bull and meth, shake vigorously-and you've got the recipe for Court Gentry.' The Memphis Commercial Appeal

'From the opening pages, the bullets fly and the bodies pile up. Through the carnage, Gentry remains an intriguing protagonist with his own moral code.' Booklist

Greaney maintains the momentum throughout this shortish whirlwind of a novel. Story is plausible enough if you don't spend too long thinking about it. Court Gentry is a great character, but I found it slightly annoying that the author alternated seemingly randomly between calling him "Court" or "Gentry".

Bit too naive for my taste. 1 guy travels across the Europe killing like dozens of specops operatives from around the world, and all of this while being shot or stabbed multiple times. Clancy's books are more down to Earth.

For a professional at the top of his game he seemed to make mistake after mistake. He judged others on their moral compass, yet pretty much did the same. I struggled to empathize with the character. This was my personal view... I am sure others loved the book.
