Publisher's 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.

What the critics say

"Through the carnage, Gentry remains an intriguing protagonist with his own moral code. Comparisons will be made to Jason Bourne, but the Gray Man is his own character. The ending screams for a sequel, but it will be difficult to maintain the intensity level of this impressive debut." (Booklist)

"Hard, fast, and unflinching – exactly what a thriller should be." (Lee Child)
"Bourne for the new millennium." (James Rollins)

Great spy Novel.

Great books all the way through. Realistically advanced and great action. All books after are just as good in their own way. Supporting characters and all.

Starts fast, ends fast and fast throughout

One of the best narrators I have heard with 20-30 unique voices of all sorts of accents. The action never stops amd there is no wasted dialog. If you want to completely lose yourself for about 10 hours of non stop action, this is your book. Just as soon as you think thangs can't get any worse, they do, a lot worse

Awesome audiobook!!!

If you like this genre, The Gray Man is a must-read audiobook. You do need a slight suspension of reality as our erstwhile hero takes on wound after wound and just keeps going. Still, it's a very fun, action packed book where I really rooted for the good guys and couldn't wait until the bad guys got theirs.

The performance was terrific, with great accents all around.

Action driven

The gray man is a pretty solid book overall. I read it as I’m really looking forward to the Netflix adoption and I have to say after listening to this I’m very hyped. Pretty good action driven story.
