If you are looking for a good escape read, there is nothing better than the Gray Man books by Mark Greaney. Spending some time with Court Gentry, assassin with a conscience, and his other CIA black opp pals is about as far away from my reality as it gets. The stories all take place in exotic locales. Last week I blasted through three recent books in the series – Relentless, Mission Critical, and One Minute Out which took me to Caracas, Berlin, Scotland, and Eastern Europe.
Fortunately for all those Gray Man fans, Mark Greaney is a productive writer, so if you haven’t looked at the series for a while, you will likely find a new entry you haven’t yet read.
These books are all about plot, so it would be a huge spoiler to summarize them here. For their genre I give Greaney a 4.5👍 out of 5👍.

The Gray Men books are so much better than the film. Indeed, I was exhausted after watching The Gray Man – if you love action packed movies it’s for you even if a tad “over-packed”! The question remains though. Do you claim to be an espionage illuminati without having read either the “Trout Memo” or Bill Fairclough’s Beyond Enkription?
Now reviews of The Gray Man are mixed but if you liked the intermittently fast and furious pace of Bill Fairclough’s epic fact based spy novel Beyond Enkription in The Burlington Files series then you will love Anthony Russo’s The Gray Man provided that you last the relentless pace. They both make parts of Robert Ludlum’s Jason Bourne series look like slow horses! The Gray Man is about a renegade CIA agent on the run and stars Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans; it’s based on Mark Greaney’s debut novel of the same name. Fairclough’s factual stand-alone thriller Beyond Enkription is about a (real life) MI6 agent on the run from international organised crime gangs and Haiti’s TonTon Macoute from London to Nassau and Port au Prince to Miami.
The Gray Man and The Burlington Files are both musts for espionage aficionados. The difference between them is that The Burlington Files series has had mainly five star reviews, it’s full of real life characters and was written for espionage cognoscenti some of whom won’t have even heard of the ingenious spycraft tricks featured in this electrifying novel. So, if you are an espionage illuminati best visit https://theburlingtonfiles.org and read Beyond Enkription.
Do look up the authors or books mentioned on Amazon, Google The Burlington Files or visit https://theburlingtonfiles.org and read Beyond Enkription.
