Burner (Gray Man)

Product Information

All this ensures that the audiobook is an incredible way to enjoy the latest Gray Man novel and I cannot recommend the Burner audiobook enough. Greaney previously worked as a waiter and bartender for ten years, [3] then later in a surgical technology company, while working on two novels in his spare time. Court Gentry, the Gray Man, may be the only person able to keep him and the data out of the wrong hands. Finally located by the CIA, Gentry is read in on what’s happening and is tasked with intercepting the information Velesky possesses.

Immediately targeted by Russians determined to kill him and reclaim the data before it can leak out, Velesky finds himself hunted throughout Switzerland. I was engrossed in this exceptional narrative the entire way through, and it will be very interesting to see where Greaney takes this series next. Not only does the action sequences really pop as you have them read out to you, by the format also works well to enhance the tension of some of the extended sequences involving multiple characters. In Zurich, Swiss banker Alex Velesky meets with Russian financial planner Igor Krupkin, who wants to strike at Russia because his son died while fighting in Ukraine. Krupkin has two phones loaded with state secrets regarding money that Russia has used to finance secret illegal operations in the West.Any thriller reader would enjoy the pace of this book , and the plot is actually following current events between Russia and Ukraine and the position the United States may be in with their war. Bestseller Greaney's solid 12th Gray Man novel (after 2022's Sierra Six) finds former CIA officer Court Gentry (aka the Gray Man) sinking the yachts of wealthy criminal Russians on the behalf of an ex-pat Ukrainian oligarch, a freelance job Gentry considers honorable in the face of Moscow's war on Ukraine, but next is locating his lost lover, former SVR operative Zoya Zakharova. Hellbent on dealing a blow to Russia after losing his son in the war against Ukraine, Krupkin wants Velesky to deliver damaging info detailing major Russian conspiracies to two separate sources. Forget Mission Impossible and Jason Bourne, this burned agent is the one you want to carry out a covert mission .

Angela is forced to grow up a lot in this book, especially when manipulated by her superiors, and it looks like Greaney has some interesting plans for her in the future. Zoya last appeared in the 10 th book, Relentless, which saw Court abandon her to keep her alive after he became wanted by the CIA again.

It also helped that Burner once again featured the exceptional vocal talents of Jay Snyder, who has lent his voice to all the previous Gray Man audiobooks. The fighting includes the stuff from which thrillers are made — gun battles, knife fights, jumps between rooftops, even the overused crawl across the top of a train car while the train is in motion. He also sets up an ending that demands sacrifice in the name of principle — the kind of principles for which Russians and their corrupt counterparts in the US and Europe have no use.
