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👍.
