Court Gentry is caught between the Russian mafia and the CIA in this latest electrifying thriller in the number one New York Times best-selling Gray Man series.
When you kick over a rock, you never know what's going to crawl out.
Alex Velesky is about to discover that the hard way. He's stolen records from the Swiss bank that employs him, thinking that he'll uncover a criminal conspiracy. But he soon finds that he's tapped into the mother lode of corruption. Before he knows it, he's being hunted by everyone from the Russian mafia to the CIA.
Court Gentry and his erstwhile lover, Zoya Zakharova, find themselves on opposites poles when it comes to Velesky. They both want him, but for different reasons.
That's a problem for tomorrow. Today they need to keep him and themselves alive. Right now, it's not looking good.

Title: Highly Enjoyable Reads!
Review: I finally finished all of the Gray Man books. I enjoyed each and every one! I now have three of my friends (all are veterans) reading and enjoying them. I am so glad I discovered them!!!I read all types of books: mysteries, history, science fiction, philosophy, politics, theology, classics, all types of fiction & non-fiction. Sometimes you just want to get away from the tomes or heavy subject matter and read something light or "escapist" - like the Gray Man books.The main character, Courtland Gentry, is almost unbelievable (OK - my mistake - he is unbelievable). He's usually getting his highly dangerous mission/objective completed while operating and running around with multiple "bad" parties (assassins, cartels, intelligence agencies, mercenaries, fanatics, etc.) coming after him - many of them at the same time! Oh yeah, he's usually injured or bleeding from some part (or parts) of his body while he's on the move.You're tempted to think that what you're reading can't possibly happen. No human can do (or survive) what just happened to Gentry. Then you think, well, though it seems unlikely, what happens is still possible, and this makes the story so interesting to read.The other characters in the book are developed perfectly. The technology and military aspects applicable to the stories are fully explained.The books appear to be "long" reads - five or six hundred plus pages. However, they read easily & quickly. I read a couple of hundred pages at a clip - no problem.I eagerly look forward to the next book (keep them coming) and so do my three friends.

Title: Following the money
Review: Burner is Mark Greaney's latest Gray Man installment. This time out, the focus is dirty Russian money. A disaffected Russian money handlers passes on information (on a phone) documenting Russian money transfer to the West with the objective of stifling overseas operations. He engages a Swiss banker with a Ukrainian connection. The Gray Man is brought in to recover the info under the assumption that the intel documents US funds flow into Russia. At the same time, Zoya ends up handling the banker and ferrying him to New York where a forensic accountant will work magic on the info suitable for the press. Court and Zoya link up and go up against Russians as well as CIA as the info will reveal corrupt US officials on the take.Court does his thing, including underwater battles. Zoya struggles with a drinking and drug problem throughout, but is still in top form. The railroad action is intense. Greaney also creates (at least for this story) a Russian version of the Gray Man, replete with own moniker. While the CIA is due for a serious reorg (is Haney coming back?), there is also a new CIA player that is likely to be friendly towards Court in the future. The only ding to the tale is having Court take the rap for the CIA hit. With all the dead GRU goons around, Court has to take the blame. Really?

Title: Front "Burner" Action
Review: Burner is a fast-paced and action-packed thriller that follows the Gray Man, a former CIA agent turned freelance assassin, as he tries to protect a rogue banker who has exposed the dirty secrets of the Russian mafia and their allies. The book is the 12th installment in the Gray Man series, but it can be read as a standalone novel. The author, Mark Greaney, is a master of the genre, delivering realistic and gripping scenes of espionage, combat, and survival. The characters are well-developed and complex, especially the Gray Man and his former lover, Zoya, who have a complicated and tense relationship. The plot is full of twists and turns, keeping the reader on the edge of their seat until the end. Burner is a highly recommended read for fans of spy thrillers, political intrigue, and international suspense.

Title:
Review: Known in the industry as âThe Gray Manâ, CIA deniable asset Court Gentry is after a phone containing highly compromising details of financial transactions coming out of Russia. Court shouldnât be involved; given that the CIA are trying to kill him. Still, the spy business makes for strange bedfellows and on this occasion, they feel that Court is just the man they need.Full of fist pumping and heart thumping action scenes as well as some deliciously snarky dialogue, Burner is that perfect blend of espionage, thrills and dry wit. If you are familiar with the Orphan X series, youâll feel right at home here. I would say that Court is less given to introspection than Orphan X though and thatâs no bad thing. As you would expect from a top drawer thriller, the locations are varied and thereâs plenty of hardware to salivate over as well as some politics that come across as being all too believable. A very strong offering and I can only imagine the series gets better from here.
