Summary
Now a Netflix film starring Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, and Ana de Armas
The first Gray Man novel from number one New York Times best-selling author Mark Greaney.
To those who lurk in the shadows, he’s known as the Gray Man. He is a legend in the covert realm, moving silently from job to job, accomplishing the impossible and then fading away. And he always hits his target. Always.
But there are forces more lethal than Gentry in the world. Forces like money. And power. And there are men who hold these as the only currency worth fighting for. In their eyes, Gentry has just outlived his usefulness.
But Court Gentry is going to prove that, for him, there’s no gray area between killing for a living and killing to stay alive....
Get ready for white-knuckled listening. Greaney's debut novel introduces the enigmatic and elusive Court Gentry, a former CIA operative and a legendary hired gun. With a terrifying ability to vaporize targets and a strict moral code, he stalks the gray margins of the world, moving silently from job to job, accomplishing the impossible, then fading away. When his government and former employers turn on him, there is no safehouse to run to, no way to lie low. In a constant state of escape and pursuit, Gentry tears through the Middle East and Europe in a riveting life-or-death race against time.

Where does The Gray Man rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
somewhere in the middleHas The Gray Man put you off other books in this genre?
NoWhat aspect of Jay Snyder’s performance might you have changed?
None, he did an admirable job and I shouldn't laugh at the american for his pronunciation of Peugeot (poojo) or Citroen or, indeed, aluminium!Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
noAny additional comments?
This book was a bit far fetched but overall it was entertaining. A bit like a Jason Statham film, you kind of know what you're getting but it jogs merrily along.Far fetched, but fun!

Would you listen to The Gray Man again? Why?
no, as in most thrillers the pace is frantic and the writing ok but not the sort of prose to linger overWhat was one of the most memorable moments of The Gray Man?
The scene with the veterinary nurse, it is the first true human interaction from the gray manHave you listened to any of Jay Snyder’s other performances? How does this one compare?
No but the acents were not at all authentic. The various assasinss all gravitated to Irish or African with very little to differenentiate.If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
assassins from across the globe against one man wirh a missionAny additional comments?
Suspend disbelief and its a good fast paced yarn, I am looking forward to the next one.non stop action thriller
