Title: Another action-packed “Gray Man” assassin/spy novel you may want to check out.
Review: I have become a fan of the “Gray Man” assassin/spy series and I just finished reading this 706 page paperback edition (Mission Critical: A gray man novel by Mark Greaney) and found it to be an exciting and action packed story filled with various twists and turns. This is a complex novel filled with interesting and unique characters, both good and bad.I never give away too much information when reviewing any novel, but if you are into “The gray man” series you may want to check out this interesting and entertaining novel.Rating: 5 Stars.

Title: Gray Man And The Ground Branch In The UK To Stop A Plague
Review: Good read, with the Gray Man who tends to work alone, eventually teams up with the Ground Branch of the CIA against a “British” named David Mars, bent on releasing a plague on a western intelligence conference held in Scotland near Loch Ness. You will have to read to find out the who/why of it all but we get Zoya back in this one from Book 6, Gunmetal Gray.Intense action, good plot, though not original. Has some James Bond type villains, with Jon Hines, a bodyguard of one of the main villains, being the main one, as he reminds me of Jaws who hounded Roger Moore. Court, “The Gray Man” has similar issues with going face to face with a giant of a man.There are some twists/turns in the last few chapters of the book, as am worried about one of the CIA assets and their motivation. Honestly, they should push this person out b4 they get the black ops guys killed.If you like more solo Gray Man, then this may not please you. But the series continues to be a fun, entertaining read for me.

Title: COURT GENTRY IS BACK
Review: Mission Critical is one of the finest novels I have ever read. Brilliantly infused plot-lines without turning overwhelming, stunning action sequences ranging from hand-to-hand combat to shootouts and car chases involving shootouts, a roster of returning characters and wonderful humor to balance the gritty situations in the novel. Court Gentry is back as The Gray Man, wrecking havoc in spectacular sequences of action and car chases on bad guys that cross his path. It is always a pleasure to see Court hasn’t lost a step. Mission Critical brings back Zoya Zakharova from gunmetal gray and Zack Hightower from the previous novels as Court’s team leader during his time in CIA. The chemistry between Court and Zoya is beautifully written and is a delight to read as a long time Gray Man fan. Zack Hightower provides a comic relief in the midst of dire situations but the author makes sure the comic relief does not feel awkward or ill-written. The action sequences are written with a finesse that combines realism with pure awesomeness as Court Gentry does what he does best, take out the bad guys like a boss. The plot twists and turns are well thought out to maximize their effects as readers expect one thing to happen and the narrative takes a swift turn that keeps the readers excited. The stakes in this novel while of global reach also hold personal stakes for Court and Zoya, making the story all the more interesting. Mr. Greaney manages to create a masterpiece with all the necessary elements of an exciting action thriller and then some more. A must read masterpiece!

Title: ohhh, I loved this Gray Man novel!
Review: I think this is my favorite Gray Man novel. Zoya and Court are killers and yet they are gentle and kind to each other. The Gray Man has a fragile heart but can take a beating like no other.Loved the intrigue. Couldn’t put this novel down.

Title: Zoya finds out about her bad dad!
Review: Zoya and Court end up in Scotland together pursuing different objectives but ultimately their objectives are the same. Lots of action and Court squares off with an English “giant” and the results aren’t good. Brewer gets her first taste of field work and her desire to leave this area of the CIA brings her to a point where Court is in her crosshairs and Zoya has to take action to protect her love interest.

Title: A fun but flawed Gray Man tale
Review: It is always a good day when a new Gray Man novel is released. This tale is a fun and a fast paced read with many familiar characters and similarities. The overall story is a bit “dated” as it has been told in various ways again and again. The Gray Man is showing his age as his true human flaws are exposed more in each book: it takes longer to heal from injuries, his constant battle of “going-it-alone” and a POSSIBLE “love interest”.Also their are several technical flaws in the story that many readers will miss. However, I expect Mr. Greenery to do better and he usually researches his material more thoroughly. Come on, you can even Google the treatment for plague and it is not what he mentions over and over in the book. This is a rookie author mistake.This story though good is not one of my favorites. Maybe it has more to do more with, as the Gray Man voices going solo vs. being on a team. If you are new to the Gray Man series, start at the beginning and not with this book. If you are a Gray Man fan, this is worth a read. I do look forward to more tales of the Gray Man but as the character and the stories are showing their age, I wonder when he will just disappear into the darkness. That will be a bitter sweet day indeed.

Title: more exciting than the previous book.
Review: Pretty fast throughout. Easy cliffhangers and solutions but the story keeps you engaged. Zoya is a good addition to Court’s story.

Review: I really enjoyed this book, but I’m a big fan of all the grey man books. They are an easy read with a predictable ending, which is what I like in an action book. I loved it and bought the next book in the series as soon as I finished this one.

Review: I absolutely love the Gray Man series! The characters are well-drawn and there’s always plenty of action & suspense. I also like the fact that Court Gentry doesn’t always win the fight – it makes him much more “real.”
