Sean Peters's Reviews > Back Blast

Court Gentry was the CIA's best agent - until the day the Agency turned against him and put out a kill-on-sight order. That's when the enigmatic international assassin called the Gray Man was born, and Court has been working for himself ever since.
Thank you to Net galley, the author and the publishers for a ARC copy for a honest review.

Court is determined to find out what happened all those years ago to make the Agency turn against him. On his list to interrogate are his former partners and the men who sent him on his last mission. What he doesn't realize is that the questions that arose from that mission are still reverberating in the US intelligence community, and he's stumbled onto a secret that powerful people want kept under wraps. And now they have him in their crosshairs.

Court is used to having people on his trail, but this time, it's on US soil - the last place he wants to be. He'll have to find the answers to his fate while evading capture . . . and avoiding death.

Mark Greaney, thank you for introducing another great character with Court Gentry, The Gray Man, my second book in a row after reading the great five star book Dead Eye.

Lucky for me Net Galley and the publishers had approved me for this book and another five star book, and the fifth in the series.

Court Gentry has become another one of my favourite characters from a collection of great authors, with Victor from Tom Wood, Will Robie from David Baldacci, John Puller from David Baldacci, Mitch Rapp from Vince Flynn, Gabriel Allon from Daniel Silva, Beatrice Rose from Mark Dawson, to name a few !

Book five in The Gray Man series will answer those nagging questions fans have had throughout the series about why Courtland Gentry has been on the SOS (shoot on sight) list for the CIA for the last five years, yes I have picked so much from the last two books, another reason Mark Greaney is so good.

This book gives you so much more, layers of information and history of Court Gentry and his life, loads of great characters good and bad, lots of twists and turns, lots of full out action , fast paced, full of tension and suspense, and full of the latest technology, weaponry.

After two books in a row, lack of sleep, I feel exhausted myself.

Thanks for such a great character, and powerful action books.

An easy five stars.
