It's been years since the Gray Man's first mission, but the trouble's just getting started in the latest entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.
Before he was the Gray Man, Court Gentry was Sierra Six, the junior member of a CIA action team.
In their first mission they took out a terrorist leader, but at a terrible price--the life of a woman Court cared for. Years have passed and now The Gray Man is on a simple mission when he sees a ghost: the long-dead terrorist, but he's remarkably energetic for a dead man.
A decade may have gone by but the Gray Man hasn't changed. He isn't one to leave a job unfinished or a blood debt unpaid.
Sierra Six is the 11th book in Mark Greaney’s The Gray Man Series. As with all of the other books that I have read in the series, I was not disappointed. It had everything that I love. There was action, adventure, guns, fights, more guns, bombs, etc. This book was a wild ride. The best part about this book was that I finally found out more about Courtland Gentry/The Gray Man’s past.
If you haven’t read any books in the series, you could likely still enjoy most of the book but you wouldn’t necessarily be able to put all of the pieces together as they relate to different relationships. Courtland Gentry is a very complicated man who could kill you in a hundred ways. He is very good at his job. Sometimes he is a friend of America and other times, America is out to kill him. For Courtland, that’s just another day in the life. This time, Court’s mission leads him to come face to face with a madman that he believed had died 12 years prior on one of Court’s earlier Ops. Consequently, Court makes it his mission to kill the man and thwart whatever new terrorist attack he has planned. Since they have a history, the book goes back and forth through time to get us all caught up as to what happened then so we are fully invested into what has to happen now. All of the pieces were nicely put together and I had the opportunity to sit back and watch The Gray Man do his worst.
I am going to be really sad when this series comes to an end. It has been a roller coaster ride that has provided so much entertainment value. At least, there is also a movie coming out that will finally give me the chance to see how Mark envisioned the character to be in real life. Hopefully, there are also more books to come.
