On Target Gray Man Book 2 edition by Mark Greaney Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I have read all the books in the Gray Man series. They are edge if your seat exciting. One of those "how did he do that" action thrillers. The author's imagination is incredible. It's amazing how Greaney keeps coming up with new ways to keep the Gray Man alive. Since I have read all five books one after the other, it's hard to keep them separate. "On Target" gets five starts from me as do all the books in the Gray Man series. I can't wait for the next book.
On Target picks up at a point in time after book 1 but with the same concept - Court Gentry is again asked (?) to kidnap and/or kill the President of Sudan. Much of the story takes place in the desolate and desperate country of Sudan and involves Gray Man working for and against a Russian mobster and a black ops CIA team. As in Book 1 Gentry seems to survive when no one else can or should. Without revealing too much, On Target ends with Gray Man disappearing for his own good. Another reviewer gave the book 4 stars, perhaps for the same reason I do. I would like a book to conclude entirely, but in this case there are a couple of persons not mentioned in the end such that the reader is a bit in the dark. Perhaps one or more will resurface in future books. Nonetheless, aside from the outrageous price of nearly $12 for Book 3, I will probably “bite my tongue” and go for #3.
Mark Greaney's first novel, THE GRAY MAN, was a strong, entertaining entry into the thriller genre. The eponymous protagonist (real name Court Gentry) is a burned former CIA paramilitary working as a contract killer to make a living. He's then again burned by his employer, British former spymaster Sir Donald Fitzroy, and is forced to fight for his life in a battle against the hardest pipe hitters in the game.
ON TARGET picks up a few months after the explosive conclusion with a Gentry who is trying to get back in the game and is struggling with a painkiller addiction. His new employer, a Russian playboy with ties to both the FSB and the Russian neo-Nazi scene, who task him with a difficult job assassinate the president of Sudan.
Before Gentry can move to complete the contract, he is intercepted by his former SAD/SOG team leader, Zack Hightower, and given a deal he can't refuse kidnap the Sudanese president rather than assassinate him, and the Agency will not only lift the termination order on Gentry, they will employ him at arms length for deniable operations.
ON TARGET's pacing picks up fast and does not stop for much. From the streets of Ireland, to the slums of Moscow, and through the desert expanse and haboobs of Darfur and Khartoum, Gentry fights his way through Sudanese soldiers and secret police, retired contract killers, skinheads, and others en route to his objective.
In GRAY MAN, Greaney showed how Gentry is simultaneously a methodical, pragmatic killer and a man with a soul, willing to throw operational common sense to the wind in order to save those he deems innocent and deserving. That trend is continued in ON TARGET, and in fact is the driving force behind the action. There are also moments of parallels drawn between a particularly heinous character and Gentry where the latter is forced to really analyze himself and what he does for a living, at times questioning himself.
The action is kinetic and well-researched, written with a voice that clearly knows firearms and has sought out expert instruction on their tactical employment. It definitely throws the reader into overdrive in a race from the front cover to the back.
With a cliffhanger ending that sets the stage for the next Gray Man series entry, ON TARGET is everything an action thriller should be exciting, harrowing, educational, and gripping from start to finish.
The Gray Man, Court Gentry, is a paid assassin working for American clandestine ops and other groups as an independent contractor. I was not sure how enamored I could be for a protagonist who's profession is murder for hire but read anyway for the adventure this genre presents, the fascinating supporting cast of characters and the ins and outs of intrigue and survival Court masters. . It is doubtful that such a man would have inner turmoil and moral conflicts when he is diverted to rescue a woman working for an international justice agency. Wouldn't he just dismiss her as collateral damage of little significance ? When he apprehends his target, the criminal President of Sudan, would he become morally challenged over the completion of his mission ? A real killer would not have such inner conflict but Gentry does and I suppose that adds to the unique nature of this complicated protagonist. The descriptions of Sudan and Darfur were eye opening - such rat holes of countries with people condemned to and resigned to poverty and war. Other reviewers have suggested to read the series in order and so do I because Court's past has links to each next novel which would be insightful for the reader to know.
The Gray Man is an assassin with principles. He kills the bad guys. He kills in self defense. He makes the impossible possible. He is one real cool customer. And at the same time he himself is being hunted down to be killed by other government agencies (USA is the lead hunter). This book is the SECOND of five of Gray Man novels. I've read all five.

And and all the twists and turns that happens...you'll find yourself with five or six pages to finish and Greaney hits you with twists. When you read about The Gray Man, his story ain't over until it's over.............................................Be sure you start with book #1 (The Gray Man) then in sequence to book #5 (Back Blast).
