    New York Times best-selling author Stephen Hunter is back with another breakneck thriller, in which ex-Marine sniper, Ray Kruz, must outwit a group of murderous Somali terrorists who’ve laid siege to the Mall of America. Recently retired marine sergeant Ray Kruz has been talked into a mall trip by his fiancé, the beautiful Molly Chan. For Ray, Molly represents a way to reconnect with normal life, something his 20 years in the service and five tours in two combat zones have prevented.

    I enjoyed it, not as full action as the Gray Man which is more my style, but enjoyable and predictable

    I was very disappointed with this book, I really enjoyed the Ice series but this one, last one for me, was boring. When I start running errands and answer calls and talking with other people while I am listening to a book; i know I made a bad choice. The narrator was so slow and boring that a few times actually put me to sleep. Anyway, this is not a book for me, When I buy action books, I am hoping to actually get action, not romance...

    I usually love any book from Lawrence Sanders, but this one had a boring plot, a bit too obvious and the narration was slow and it felt like it was dragging. I am afraid I can't recommend this book.

    Court Gentry is known as The Gray Man - 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. And in their eyes, Gentry has just outlived his usefulness. Now, he is going to prove that for him, there's no gray area between killing for a living-and killing to stay alive.

    I really enjoyed every single part of this book, although we could guess the end result, it didn't matter. it was amazing and fantastic the entire book. i usually don't go for violence books, but this one although violent, I didn't mind. I can't wait to read the other book of the series. Highly recommend for any reader. My only problem was not being capable of putting the book down...I usually listen the book while driving or exercising. With this book, I found myself driving more and exercising a lot! no complains there...

    This is not my favorite Lawrence Sanders book but it was interesting anyway.The world of coin collectors is quite unique and as it turns out can be a bit dangerous. I learned a lot about the motivation behind coin collection and I thought the explanations about the coins were quite interesting. Anyway, like I said I love Lawrence Sanders, not one of his best books but still, one of his books.
