Summary

From the number-one New York Times best-selling coauthor 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 US 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 US 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.

Another great Gray Man Instalment...

The Gray Man series is really good, edge of your seat action, and Back Blast is no different.
This time, we get to understand more about events leading up to the shoot on sight status being given to Gentry. It's an intricate web of espionage and counter espionage, with Gentry being played by both sides.
Great story, superbly compelling and can't wait for the next one!
Great narration from Jay Snyder once again.

Sit down with a brew, this is going to be brilliant!

What a ride! Such fast pace throughout but without impacting on the quality and depth of the story. The best book of the series, connecting all of the dots from the previous books.

Forget Christian, Court Gentry is the real Mr Grey

Superbly gripping as ever, but on this outing I couldn't put it down. I listened at every opportunity, be it driving, cooking and chose to listen over other forms of entertainment. Violator is a legend. Lots of surprises in this 5th installment, culminating in a superb climax. I hope Mark Greaney doesn't make us wait too long for the 6th novel. Jay Snyder as always brings life and depth to all the characters.

This one ties it all together

This story pays back the fans who have followed the Court"s journey so far. It answers the burning question of why the CIA wants him dead and does so brilliantly. Best book in the series. Simply brilliant

4 and a half stars...

Enjoyed it, mostly... My only complaint is I felt it lost pace a few times. Still, a solid, not-overly-gruesome thriller and I look forward to more!

Superb book, with plenty of twists and turns

If you could sum up Back Blast in three words, what would they be?

Heart Stopping Action

What about Jay Snyder’s performance did you like?

Excellently read

Any additional comments?

Through this book Gentry is tested both physically and mentally, with a flash back to his past
