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.

Disappointing but not awful

This book is pretty frustrating. It tries really hard to be good but is limited by some of the author’s decisions.
The main character gets dumber in this book and gains a naiveness near the end that is very off-putting. He is frustratingly stupid in this book. His actions reflect the artificial struggle that the author inserted.

Beyond that, the actions of certain characters are your standard generic dickhead bad guy behaviours. Most of the characters are flat and very one-dimensional. Their dimensionality is almost an affront to the people who actually do their job. It's like the author doesn't actually understand how the topic they are writing on actually works, so they reverted to Hollywood and the stereotypes. This is jarring in the world he built.

Finally, the entire final act is so blatantly telegraphed that it is barely even disappointing. It's more so the fact that you are surprised that the main character can't figure out what is going on half the time that is frustrating.

This book is the dud of the series. Go into it with low expectations. Every stereotype of the genre is present.

Zero plot progression and such a disappointment

Pros - great narration
- good action


Cons - everything else
- Court never accomplished any objectives. Other that just about be killed a dozen time, the entire book was useless and Court is in the exact place as a character at the end of the book than the beginning

70% into the book it was great, 80% into the book it seed like they were really mming out of time to finish the story, 90% and you realize nothing is happwneng and they can't possibly end the book like this and when the book is done you realize the entire read was a waste of time because Court ended in the exact same situation as he was in the start of the book; injured, everyone still after him and he screwed up every mission in the book

As I write this review, it gets more disappointing my as you can skip this book completely and go straight to the third book and not miss a thing

Since the first book was so good, I will try the 3rd book amd hope this book was an anomaly.

The great narration was th only bright light preventing this from being a complete bomb.

Too Grey

While the appeal of how a Grey man can save the world attracted me to this story but he’s so Grey I gave up caring about the character. Too Grey, too unidentifiable as a protagonist. #Audible1

Blood and guts.

Yeah, I like it, more gore than Flint and Bond, like Helm only more so. If you like them and don’t mind blood on your hands and pain from wounds, my bet, you will enjoy the Grey Man.

How does he make it out alive!?

Every time I listen to these amazing adventures, I think there’s no way that this guy is ever going to make it out alive, and I wonder how are there possibly so many more books in the series. Total life or death, brutal scenarios, like Jack Reacher, but amplify the intensity by 10-fold. Great narration too.

Court Gentry is slightly less superhuman

In the second instalment, Court Gentry is slightly less superhuman than the first book. However, there's still a lot of suspension of reality as he performs impossible feats worthy of a superhero, Still, a fun read, and if you like Mark Greaney's first book of the series, you'll like this one, for sure. The presentation is very good. Jay Snyder does a great job with accents and character voices, which really adds to the audiobook.

I recommend!

This reviewers are just mad they can't write

Great book, great storytelling and just badass in general. All the bad reviews I see are from nobody's whom have no creativity whatsoever.

Good, enjoyable, and popcorn-y.

Solid follow-up novel to the first novel, though it lagged at some points. Great narration performance really brings it to life
