Ex-CIA assassin Court Gentry thought he could find refuge living in the Amazon rain forest. But his bloody past finds him when a vengeful Russian crime lord forces him to go on the run once again. Court makes his way to one of the only men in the world he can trust - and arrives too late. His friend is dead and buried.

Years before, Eddie Gamboa had saved Court's life. Now, Eddie has been murdered by the notorious Mexican drug cartel he fought to take down. And Court soon finds himself drawn into a war he never wanted. But in this war, there are no sides - only survivors....

Critic reviews

"Bourne for the new millennium." (James Rollins, New York Times best-selling author)
"The story is so propulsive, the murders so explosive, that flipping the pages feels like playing the ultimate video game." ( The New York Times)

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

Can't wait for the next Gray Man!

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

Amazing! Engaging! Anticipating!

What did you like best about this story?

Descriptions of Mexico were great. Jay Snyder's narration is one of the best I've heard.

What does Jay Snyder bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

could readily tell the different characters which he narrated superbly

Any additional comments?

Can't wait for the next one and many more after that!

Full on rush!

Really enjoyed this one. Fast paced and action packed. Wish there was more story on the conclusion of the book, just wanted that little bit more near the end.

Excellent voice performance. Played all the characters well, even the female characters.

Would recommend if you like the super soldier geanre.

Any Vince Flynn book

Have you listened to any of Jay Snyder’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have read all three books in this series and all three were outstanding.

Excellent!!

This book did not disappoint. Once again, the incredible action kept me riveted. It is impossible to imagine how one man can get into and out of so many dangerous situations “undead”, but it adrenalin rush reading about these creates is so very well worth the time. 5+ stars.

Still rooting for the Grey Man

Great story, really like Jay Snyders narration and pronunciations in Spanish. Especially the cursewords! I am Hispanic and can relate to a lot of the nuances mentioned in the book.
