Publisher's summary

From the number-one New York Times best-selling coauthor of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan novels comes an all-new explosive thriller featuring the lethal assassin known as the Gray Man....

Court Gentry was the CIA's best agent. Until the day the agency turned against him and put out a kill-on-sight order. That's when the enigmatic international assassin called the Gray Man was born - and Court has been working for himself ever since.

Now Court is back in Washington, looking for answers. He's determined to find out what happened all those years ago that made the agency turn against him. On his list to interrogate are his former partners and the men who sent him on his last mission. What he doesn't realize is that the questions that arose from that mission are still reverberating in the US intelligence community, and he's stumbled onto a secret that powerful people want kept under wraps. And now they have Court in their crosshairs.

Court Gentry is used to having people on his trail, but this time it's on US soil - the last place he wants to be. Now he'll have to find the answers to his fate while evading capture...and avoiding death.

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

Great detail and suspense

This is a great finish/next chapter for the Gray Man. This installment does a great job of answering a lot of questions, setting the stage for the future, and providing great background to this classic spy legacy.

Very good book

I couldn't stop listening to this book.
It has lots of action, good story dialog. If you are a trucker, or going on a trip , or if you want to listen to a really good book, I recommend this one!

Great listen!

I enjoyed this one. Can't wait for the next Grey Man book!
The only critique I have is that the story was a little unbelievable at times but not enough to ruin the book.

Great Book

I love the "Gray man" series and although I listened to the one that came after this one before this, it was still a thrilling ride. The author is one I have now read 3-4 books by and he does not disappoint. The performance by Jay Snyder was spectacular. It would make me look to see what else he has read. He is good with different voices of different people in the book. You can tell who you are listening to even if they don't say who it is right away. I look forward to the next one in the "Gray man" series. .

A great listen but too long

I did enjoy listening to the book but it could have used some serious editing.. I have enjoyed stories involving the Grey Man before & I'll listen to the next one. But this one was far too long.

Great book, I hated to see it end.

I'm so glad to see The Gray Man finally getting answers! Can't wait for the next book.
