The Book Count 2026
#42
The Hard Line by Mark Greaney

The Grey Man returns. Again. Some foreign actor has co-opted an American Security company to assassinate members of the intelligence community. It is up to the Grey Man and his confederates to stop him. The only problem is that some of the assassins brought in for the kill squads also want to kill the Grey Man for things he's done. Let the gun play ensue.

This was a much better Grey Man book than some previous outings. The plot was tight. The Grey Man didn't have to be super human, he just had to do his job. There were a lot of subplots going on that also broadened the scope of the story, gave more depth to some of the recurring characters. But then the book ended on a cliff hanger. Not a terrible one, but the book was just getting good as more terrible things were happening and it seemed like the bad guys were going to get away with their plan, when the book ended.

I'll see you in a year when the next one comes out.
As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
