Back Blast (Gray Man)

Grayman series. Entertaining.

Was a good read but required a few more days to finish compared to others in the Gray Man series.

I very much enjoyed this story. It gave a background of the main character which was interesting. It also shows him as a vulnerable man. Interesting especially in his line of work. Someone who sticks to his principles and really gives a damn about the United States. I just ordered the next book in the series. I would recommend this to anyone cought up in good spycraft novels. You are right there with him, fast moving and a terrific ride. A+❗

This author can write! He is one of the top thriller writer out there and I love his books and The Gray Man. I've fallen in love with Court Gentry. These books have so much action my head spins. I end up staying up way too late at night reading that I can barely focus on the words but can barely make myself put the book down and go to sleep. I also like the way Greany writes. He is a master. One caveat thought that most thriller writers do that spoils alot of the fun for me is the totally excessive use of profanity, especially the awful F word. Come on, it's sickening how many times it's used per page. It's nonsense that the author has to do this. It's like nude scenes in a movie that have nothing to do with the story , they're just there for for the fools who get off on that. Neither Lee Child nor Clive Cussler use profanity and they are hugely popular so no one can tell me it can't be done. I spend a lot of time going through each page and inking out all the F and the really bad M F words. I wish publishers would put out two versions of the books, one without the profanity and I guess one for those who use filthy language in their daily lives. Aside from that I love the action and the stories. I also love how the stories in each book continue from the last book. You get to know more and more about the Gray Man with each new book.

I've enjoyed reading the entire series from author Mark Greaney. He has a very unique talent for providing suspense, unique missions and an ability to get the job done. Greaney knows his genre cold, much as John Le Carre did earlier in his career. While George Smiley and other Le Carre charracters were brainiacs in sniffing out traitors and following Cold War spies from other countries, Greaney's character is a run-and-gun shooter. From sleeping in closets to saving most of the damsels he comes in contact with, Court Gentry is a terrific character. I've just purchased Sierra Six, the latest Gray Man hard book released within the last few weeks. Can't wait to dive in. And, Netflix will release the new Gray Man TV series, featuring Ryan Gosling, this summer! I hope the mention of Netflix doesn't get this review nixed by Amazon :-)

If you enjoyed Bourne, Reacher, and Jack Ryan books this series is a good choice. New turns and twists with each book.

I have read the first six books and have a difficult time putting the books down. I am currently reading the 7th book, Agent in Place and once again not disappointed. I am waiting on the next 3 gray man books to arrive this Tuesday.

Gripping page turner. Loved it. Greaney rocks. He’s the king of thrillers.

This book of the series takes a couple of days to read through, but that's ok as it is much better than some of the preceeding entities. The back and forth between the hero and his opponents in Washington takes its time to develop, but it entertains with some good ideas and surprises. The end is a bit strange as it is inconceivable that so serious consequences would have evolved out of so petty reasons, but I must admit that the author came up with a twist or two that I didn't expect, so I'll overlook the weaknesses. Weaknesses, well, in my opinion too many words describing too small details in any and every situation, which somewhat makes the reader want to go faster as possible. Also too much bare escapes at the last millisecond. A truely great fighter would not end up all the time depending on luck and chance. Then of course there are some errors like in one case the hero uses his phone in a way that would make his capture a certainty. But such things are the exception and didn't blow the story out of the water. All in all I have read worse books. And no, you'll not become any smarter or wiser by reading this.

A spy thriller at its best. Mind bending story

Mark Greaney keeps the action pace constant! A great read and a great character. Will be reading all his books.

I liked the delivery being as advertised and arrived in great condition.
