A #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
From Mark Greaney, the New York Times bestselling author of Mission Critical and a coauthor of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan novels, comes another high-stakes thriller featuring the world's most dangerous assassin: the Gray Man.
While on a mission to Croatia, Court Gentry uncovers a human trafficking operation. The trail leads from the Balkans all the way back to Hollywood.
Court is determined to shut it down, but his CIA handlers have other plans. The criminal ringleader has actionable intelligence about a potentially devastating terrorist attack on the US. The CIA won't move until they have that intel. It's a moral balancing act with Court at the pivot point.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Mark Greaney’s ex-CIA-agent-turned-world-class-assassin hero faces a terrible choice in One Minute Out. If the Gray Man (a.k.a. Courtland Gentry) takes down a sex slavery ring, he risks losing valuable information about an upcoming terrorist attack on U.S. soil. So what does Gentry do? Take the toughest, most dangerous path! Greaney keeps his best-selling spy series fresh by leaning on his talent for great characters: Talyssa Corbu, a no-nonsense junior Europol operative who joins Gentry, is a particularly welcome addition. With plenty of flinty one-liners and jaw-dropping action sequences, the ninth Gray Man book has us eager for #10.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In bestseller Greaney's remarkable ninth Gray Man novel (after 2019's Mission Critical), Courtland Gentry (aka The Gray Man) takes on the Consortium, an international sex slave cartel, the existence of which he stumbles on while committing a hit on a Serbian strongman. A former CIA employee, Gentry fell out of favor to the point that the agency was trying to kill him, and after getting that misunderstanding straightened out, the agency is still kind of trying to kill him, though he works as an off-the-books assassin in a secret CIA program called Poison Apple. Never mind his official status. What's important is that he's probably the greatest assassin in the world, and those who oppose him usually end up dead. In this case, he decides to defy his bosses and hunt down the men who are part of the Consortium, running his own op with no help other than that from Talyssa Corbu, a junior analyst for Europol, whose sister the sex traffickers have captured. As always, Gentry is up to the task. Spy thriller fans will be enthralled. Author tour.
Customer Reviews
Not the strongest entry
Enjoyed the change to first person perspective, gave some fun perspective into Gentry’s thoughts.
The first half of the book is a pretty slow and uncharacteristic for the series in my opinion. The minor protagonist is kind of infuriating and helpless.
Overall enjoyable, especially the second half, but weaker than the previous books.
One Minute Out
Each book in the series is better than the previous. The author does a really good job at keeping it interesting.
Writing style change
Wasn’t a huge fan of the third person view. It was strange to read, but still fun
