About this listen

Mark Greaney, the New York Times best-selling coauthor of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan novels, delivers another breakneck thriller following the world's deadliest assassin - the Gray Man.

After five years on the run, Court Gentry is back on the inside at the CIA. But his first mission makes him wish he had stayed on the outs when a pair of Chinese agents try to take him down in Hong Kong. Normally the Chinese prefer to stay eyes-only on foreign agents. So why are they on such high alert? Court's high stakes hunt for answers takes him across Southeast Asia and leads to his old friend, Donald Fitzroy, who is being held hostage by the Chinese. Fitzroy was contracted to find Fan Jiang, a former member of an ultra-secret computer warfare unit responsible for testing China's own security systems. And it seems Fan may have been too good at his job - because China wants him dead. The first two kill teams Fitzroy sent to find Fan have disappeared, and the Chinese have decided to "supervise" the next operation. What they don't know is that Gentry's mission is to find Fan first and get whatever intel he has to the US. After that, all he has to do is get out alive.

Any additional comments?

Mark Greaney is the #1 New York Times Best-selling co-author of more than six books in the Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan series and this month he released the 6th thrilling novel in his own, original, Gray Man series. If you’ve followed my blog posts over this last year you may know that I’m a big fan of Mark‘s and that I always devour his works with abandon.

In Gunmetal Gray, Court Gentry aka The Gray Man is back with his old employer at the Central Inteligence Agency and the action takes place right after the events of the last year’s fantastic Back Blast. Court is sent into Hong Kong in a solo mission with orders to kidnap a Chinese hacker and to rescue an old friend, but when he is recognized at the airport by Chinese operators in the intelligence Bureau all his plans are out the window and The Gray Man is on his own.

Without me giving anything of the plot away, I will say that although Gunmetal Gray is not quite as intense as its predecessor, Back Blast, the story is great, the action is non-stop and the Gray Man is deadlier than ever… The are guns, explosions, hand to hand combat, gadgets, boats, spies, special operators of all kinds, hackers, women whom at the same time are beautiful and deadly. There is betrayal, blackmail, murder and a lot of intelligence agencies are battleling one another, fighting to get their hands on the hacker before Court does. I loved the breakneck speed with witch events develop, I enjoyed the race from country to country, the Gray Man‘s resourcefulness to conquer any situation, the cat and mouse games and the timid love story developing between… well, I’ll let you find that out on your own.

This Gray Man audiobook is brought to life once again with talent and passion by the great actor and voice over artist Jay Snyder. His voice reminds me of Snake from the Metal Gear Solid series of video games, he can read, act, prelongue the tension and infuse action scenes with urgency. He even sounds good performing all the words in different asiatic languages. For Gunmetal Gray he uses lots of accents and voices, from gruff Russian for pissed off operatives, to scared Chinese henchmen, dialing it down to calm and even feminine cadences. He is perfect for this series and it’s obvious that he enjoys the role.

I said it lots of times and I’ll say it again Mark Greaney is one of the best thriller / espionage writers of the moment, Gunmetal Gray is intense, unputdownable and thrilling from beginning to end. I saw Mark evolve with every book and and I can’t wait for the next one in this great series! If you enjoy works by authors like Robert Ludlum, Tom Clancy and Vince Flynn you’ll love what Mark delivers with the Gray Man series.

Good dose of Grey Man, a little slow at times.

This one didn't capture me until the last third. It took a long time to get going and seemed to me to have parts that would benefit from the ability to scan back a few chapters and review some character development.

Best Gray Man yet...

The tension never lets up. Like an onion, the motives of the principles are slowly peeled away.

This series is just getting better and better!

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

I only listen to audio books these days, they are more enjoyable.

Love the additional new character that is giving the Gray Man a run for his money.

Kept me wanting for more

The Gray man is at it again. This time he is contracted by the CIA and goes off on what seems like a wild goose-chase. In each new city he is faced with danger and potential to find his person. He gets himself in all kinds of trouble and his handler has a hard time working with him. He tries to do what's right and that is often very hard to do. Plan on listening to as many of these books as possible.

Mark Greaney is an author in the league of Tom Clancy, James Rollins and other spy mystery. Good choice of a book.

Great entry in the series

Any additional comments?

This is well plotted and less standardized than many such book series. Wonderful distraction from the vagaries of life. I have been listening to it while I work out and it is perfect--fewer long flashbacks and distractions than many such books. Different from earlier installments, but makes enough references to the earlier ones to provide a sense of continuity. The reader is quite well matched; I have one complaint. His pronunciation of Russian words is really very bad--he is not aloe in this, I recently listened to a book that had some French words completely butchered. Why cannot readers consult a native speaker for help before recording? I suppose they do not get paid well enough to prepare ....

The gray man meets his feminine match!!!

The Gray Man series is one of my favorites! The author does a great job of building this character up throughout the series. He did not disappoint as the adventure is still "edge of seat" gripping as always! This story sure has a lot going on with different assassin groups from different countries vying for the same target. The gray man may just have met his match with a Russian female spy. The questions are:, Who will get to the target first? And will the newly rekindled CIA-Gray Man relationship last? You'll have to listen to the story to find out. Prepare to want to keep listening though. It's hard to put down!!!
