One Minute Out

Court Gentry, known as the Gray Man, a former CIA operative turned freelance assassin, is on the trail of an odious human trafficking ring in Eastern Europe. As he maneuvers through the web of crime, he stumbles upon a shocking scene that compels him to step out of the shadows and pursue justice, no matter the cost. The Gray Man, renowned for his insatiable thirst for anonymity, now becomes a shining beacon of hope in a world choked by darkness. On this perilous journey, he encounters Zack Hightower, a former teammate from his CIA days, and Talyssa Corbu, a victim who’s turned into an avenger, both of whom play pivotal roles in navigating the serpentine maze of the underground criminal world. Jay Snyder, with his impressive range of tones and inflections, lends his voice to narrate the book. His vivid portrayal of the characters, nuanced understanding of the story, and perfect modulation of suspense and drama keeps the listener hooked, rendering a compelling auditory experience that adds a new dimension to the story. His portrayal of Gentry, in particular, is the heart and soul of the narrative, with a pitch-perfect blend of cold determination, professionalism, and subtle hints of emotion that make the character more relatable and human. However, the novel is more than just a tale of suspense and action. Mark Greaney, the author, excels in immersing the reader in a world fraught with tension and drama. The narrative is a careful balance of detailed action sequences, intelligent strategies, and the exploration of human relationships in the face of grave danger. His words create an enveloping atmosphere of suspense that teases the senses and lures you into the dark world that the Gray Man has to brave. Burner has a rocket like speed but it does not mean that the story is difficult to understand. Another part of the series which is worth to listen is Agent in Place, overall every part of the series has the same worth.
