About this ebook

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 

From Mark Greaney, the New York Times bestselling author of Gunmetal Gray and a coauthor of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan novels, comes a high-stakes thriller featuring the world's most dangerous assassin: the Gray Man.

Court Gentry's flight on a CIA transport plane is interrupted when a security team brings a hooded man aboard. They want to kick Gentry off the flight but are overruled by CIA headquarters. The mystery man is being transported to England where a joint CIA/MI6 team will interrogate him about a mole in Langley.

When they land in an isolated airbase in the U.K., they are attacked by a hostile force who kidnaps the prisoner. Only Gentry escapes. His handlers send him after the attackers, but what can one operative do against a trained team of assassins? A lot, when that operative is the Gray Man.

Ratings and reviews

I don't know how Mark keeps coming up with such great stories, but he does. Great characters and the twisting plots are hard to figure out a head of the reading. Gray Man and Zoya both have a lot of bad baggage but they fit together good. I hope they end up as a team and a couple in the near future.

Horrible ending. Constant referral to the best assassin in the world that becomes a wimp thinking of Zoya. Lose the women, get on with the assassinations.

I have read all of the Gray Man books. They're always exciting and compelling. I look forward to the next one.
