Publisher's summary

Now a Netflix film starring Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, and Ana de Armas

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.

Critic reviews

"Through the carnage, Gentry remains an intriguing protagonist with his own moral code. Comparisons will be made to Jason Bourne, but the Gray Man is his own character. The ending screams for a sequel, but it will be difficult to maintain the intensity level of this impressive debut." (Booklist)

"Hard, fast, and unflinching – exactly what a thriller should be." (Lee Child)

"Bourne for the new millennium." (James Rollins)

goog rythm. keeps up your interest in hearing.

not realistic enough though
bourne does it much betterin maling things credible. anyway I recommend this book

Review of The Gray Man

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Its nonstop action made it very difficult to put down. As narrator, Jay Snyder gave an excellent performance.

Pulp fiction

Fun and entertaining story. Great action tale unbelievable as it may be. Greaney’s storyline is a fast paced thriller and keeps you tuned in despite the implausible main character and equally implausible situations .
The narrator Jay Snyder does a superb job of providing each character with Clearly distinct voices and personalities. He’s A+

Outstanding book

This is an excellent book and Greaney was able to keep the action going through out the entire story. I’m looking forward to additional books by Greanay and the “Gray Man” as the main character.

Thrilling

listened to this book in one seating. I highly recomend it for anyone looking for a good action packed thriller.

Outstanding!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend all of the series, and they get better as they go; can not wait for book five.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It certainly made me not want to be in the Gray Man's shoes.

Great.

loved it, really well done. From beginning to end. I listened to it almost non stop, I will try #2

exciting but not realistic

the story is corny because it is so improbable. the ending is predictable because everyone lived happily ever after except the bad guys.

Awesome

Couldn't put it down. Really engaging suspense, great characters, perfect pacing. Very much like the Borne movies.

Exciting stuff!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Gray Man to be better than the print version?

I have both the print version and the audio version of these books. Both are good, but the audio really brought the stories to life.
