The first Gray Man novel from number one New York Times best-selling author Mark Greaney.
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. Always.
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 gray area between killing for a living and killing to stay alive....
Get ready for white-knuckled listening. Greaney's debut novel introduces the enigmatic and elusive Court Gentry, a former CIA operative and a legendary hired gun. With a terrifying ability to vaporize targets and a strict moral code, he stalks the gray margins of the world, moving silently from job to job, accomplishing the impossible, then fading away. When his government and former employers turn on him, there is no safehouse to run to, no way to lie low. In a constant state of escape and pursuit, Gentry tears through the Middle East and Europe in a riveting life-or-death race against time.

I love this genre of books for the fast thinking, fast paced action, and general adrenaline rush. To this end I wished the narrator also increased the pace and intensity of his voice during fight sequences.
Otherwise a good read. looking forward to the series.
Enjoyable read

My first ever bad review, i know how hard ppl work on these projects so i don't do this lightly. Too many cliche' e moments,. Northern Irishman with red hair? The majority of NI don't have red hair. Tremendous amount of body damage but still he keeps going? The posh military man...the German lead opposition with a concience and so on. In the end i was willing on the bad guys. The narration in itself was okay but the pronunciation of european words was outstandingly bad for example Citroen pronounced cit ro en and the cliche interpretation of the posh colonel or clipped upper class German accent was laughable. How on earth this is being considered for TV is beyond me. In old money......its going straight to DVD.....Sorry.
