Mark Greaney, the #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor 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 when his first mission includes a pair of Chinese agents trying to take him down in Hong Kong, Court wants to know why.
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.
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...
Getting the mission done, no matter what After the last novel I had to jump into the next Gray Man novel. This is one of my favorite series. You can tell the author does his research. The action is pulse pounding and the flow is great, but suffers at times from lazy writing in my opinion.While Court certainly put his skillset to good use he also was caught up too easily. I especially hated the ending. No way he would have allowed himself to get caught like that so easily. The writing gets sloppy at times or just plain lazy. How does someone that is choking someone from behind wrap their legs around the person's lower back? I had to reread that part just to make sure I read it right. As someone who has trained in hand to hand, I knew that part was horrible. I hope the author tightens up his writing. I don't want to go into so much of the negative of the book. There really was more positive than negative.Court is put into some really interesting situations, situations only he could get out of. He has quite the adventure throughout Southeast Asia. To include battling Russian Special Forces, not spetznotz multiple times. Coming up against and eventually working with a Russian femme fatale. Setting up something awesome for the next book.You will not be disappointed with this Gray Man novel overall.(Edited 6/24/19)Just like the good old days, sorta of Gunmetal Gray continues the hugely successful Gray Man series (#6 this time) by Mark Greaney. Having gotten back into the good graces of the CIA, Court takes on his first job with Susan Brewer as his handler. As to be expected, the CIA inserts Gentry into an unfolding operation that appears simple, but is anything but. With his old friend and employer, Fitzroy, life on the line, Gentry must present himself as someone taking a contract from the Chinese to recover a hacker on the run from the Peoples' Liberation Army attempting to defect to Taiwan. While the Chinese want him dead, the US and Russia would each love to secure him for themselves. Meanwhile, various criminal gangs move him around and find him useful for their own reasons. As usual, Court finds himself in the middle of unanticipated action and improvises as only the Gray Man can.Court's tradecraft is full throttle with plenty of action. At the same time, Court finds a potential soulmate in the form of a female Russian doppelganger which not only offers a softer side of the Gray Man, but hints at some interesting future adventures. All the action unfolds across South East Asia for a nice change of pace from earlier installments. Greaney manages to prevent the franchise from becoming stale and has positioned the various entities for plenty of fresh material in the future.Gunmetal Gray After reading a couple pretty bad action thrillers, this book was an absolute pleasure to read. Mark Greaney is by far one of the best action writers around, and I always look forward to his books, whether it's Gray Man or a Tom Clancy project. His research is impeccable, his characters interesting, and his plots complex and multi-layered, and Gunmetal Gray is no exception.In this volume, Court Gentry is back to working for the CIA, and his first job is to locate a Chinese hacker trying to flee China. Along the way, he'll tangle with Russian spetsnaz, Chinese spies, and assorted criminal gangs across Hong Kong, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand. He'll also be at odds with his own CIA handlers. The plot is tense and tight. The action scenes are exciting and over the top, with a very cinematic quality to them, and Court Gentry is the perfect action/spy series character.So why not five stars? The book would have benefited greatly by a little editing and a slightly shorter length. I often felt likeI was spending a lot of time reading without the plot advancing anywhere. Some scenes and descriptions seemed to drag longer than necessary, and the plot became somewhat repetitive as the Chinese hacker is captured or handed off from one criminal organization to another.Or maybe it's just that there's no way Mark Greaney can top the absolutely flawless masterpiece that is Dead Eye (Gray Man).
