The Hard Line

A Gray Man Novel

De: Mark Greaney

Narrado por: Jay Snyder

The Gray Man, the world’s deadliest assassin and apex predator, discovers he’s really the prey in the most shocking entry of this #1 New York Times bestselling series.

Family means different things to different people, but in the Gray Man’s world, family is defined by blood—the blood you share with some and the blood you shed with others.

Court Gentry’s current family operates out of an office park in Norfolk, Virginia. The Ghost Town is an off-the-books direct action team run by Matt Hanley, former CIA Deputy Director. They take on the jobs the Agency needs handled “discretely,” and those jobs are rolling in.

Somewhere at the top of the US Intelligence apparatus, security experts and intelligence operations worldwide are threatened.

It starts with a blown safe house in Tunis. Then Court himself barely escapes from an ambush in the jungles of Nicaragua. Now key members of the U.S. counterintelligence community are being assassinated in their own neighborhoods. With the feds compromised, it’s up to Court and his team to stop the hit squads.

But eliminating professional kill teams may be the least of the Gray Man’s worries when he finds himself targeted by the legendary assassin codenamed Whetstone—a man driven out of retirement by a very personal quest to rain down hellfire on Court and everyone he’s ever loved, starting with the father he hasn’t seen in twenty years.

Very engaging….

Love the story… Disappointed to have to wait so long for the next volume to come out! Mark Greaney, the Genie, continues to deliver!!

Is it possible??

Ok, is it possible this is the best Grey Man book yet? I don’t think so but all things considered, one could argue it. Ties in the past & opens the door for the future for this mid 40’s, kind hearted killer. As always, felt as if I was there with the small details, a few chuckles, weapon talk & edge of your seat battles. and then the cliffhanger, oh boy. Best part is even with a cliffhanger story tied together awesome at the end. Kinda fast & twisty beginning to middle but it settled in. Nothing beats the Grey Man …Nothing

The Gray Man is BACK!

After the last title in the series, I was concerned about the direction of the Gray Man series, but this entry put all my fears to bed. A truly great book with the return of great action sequences, intrigue, and the Gray Man at his best.

Jay Snyder has become one of my most favorite narrators, if not the most favorite, on Audible. He is the perfect fit for these characters and this type of story telling.

This book will not disappoint!

Family ties

The role of fathers and sons in this book is outstanding. Can’t recommend it enough. Another great gray novel.

The story line and narration kepts getting better. I so greatly appreciate the cliffhanger until the next book.
