Publisher's summary

Court Gentry, aka the Gray Man, is back – and once again on the run from old friends and foes.

Four years ago, Gentry was betrayed by his handlers in the CIA. Now, an old comrade, Russian arms merchant Sidorenko, returns to force him on a mission against his will: kill Sudan’s President Abboud, the supposed trigger for the Darfur genocide. But the CIA has its own plans for Abboud. With his ruthless employers on one side, his blackmailing former friends on the other, and a doomed mission ahead, Gentry would kill just to get out of this one alive.

Every bit as thrilling, informed, and addictive as The Gray Man, and once again skillfully narrated by Jay Snyder, On Target is sure to hit the mark for thriller fans.

Much of the same

Too similar feeling to the first Gray Man novel. Hard to believe one guy having everyone out for him again.

Good story

I got bored when Gray Man started getting a conscious. Over all it is a pretty good story.

Best Action Read out there

What did you love best about On Target?

Intelligently written. Action packed. no fluff. Highly recommended, better than Reacher books, Clancy, etc.

What other book might you compare On Target to and why?

Geaney writes the Clancy books now, which have become nonsensical in my opinion. The president's son doing that stuff? give me a break.

The Reacher books are ok, but after reading a gray man book they almost put you to sleep. You can tell Geaney just puts a lot more thought into his books and keeps the plot moving forward, rather than spending a lot of time on unimportant detail, which adds little to the plot.

Any additional comments?

Please stop wasting time on the Clancy books, and focus on Gray Man....

Excellent-Author Almost Vince Flynn Talent-Master

Would you consider the audio edition of On Target to be better than the print version?

I cannot compare but...great listen!

Court Gentry, aka the Gray Man, is back – and once again on the run from old friends and foes.

Four years ago, Gentry was betrayed by his handlers in the CIA. Now, an old comrade, Russian arms merchant Sidorenko, returns to force him on a mission against his will: kill Sudan’s President Abboud, the supposed trigger for the Darfur genocide.

Every bit as thrilling, informed, and addictive as The Gray Man, and once again skillfully narrated by Jay Snyder, On Target is sure to hit the mark for thriller fans.

What was one of the most memorable moments of On Target?

The ending...the Gray Man is always suspenseful and delivers.

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

Yes, he is ALWAYS fantastic!

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

It is intense and almost 'prophetic' as the things written (several years ago) are actually happening now. Think Libya...

Any additional comments?

This is an action packed, thrill ride. Violence and only a bit of strong language which is unusual (and welcome) for this type of book-no F-bombs with every page.

Okay but sort of cookie cutter

These books try too hard to be Mark Walburg movies.
Less action and better dialog would go a long way to improve the series.

Good book but bad details

Loved the book as a whole but details that don't check out annoyed me all through it. In Africa you don't have automatic gearboxes for your cars, the use of American units of measurement in the wrong places etc. Even if these are minor details, this kind of book is a detail-driven affair...so a four will have to do.
I really liked the narrator. It was easy to distinguish between characters and the pace and dialects were reasonably good.

The modern day Nicholai Hel on the horizon?

Gray Man would do well and become a more robust character with just a little Shibumi in his life but I like him nonetheless. I'm hoping as I go forward that the author adds additional dimensions to him. His operational skills are beyond question and clearly established, I'd love to see him balanced with a tinge of something that brings him happiness or peace and thus putting more at stake than the life we know the author can't take from us. Greaney tickled on it in this one so I'm excited and hopeful he decided to evolve this side of the Gray Man. This book topped the first, I'm hoping the trend continues!
