Read if you like:
🚨 nonstop action
🚨 revenge plot
🚨 books in a series
🚨 side stories
Hardline by Mark Greaney is the 15th installment into the Gray Man Series. This next chapter follows our protagonist, Court Gentry as he must face something he has never before encountered, the family member of a random bodyguard that gets in between him and his mark. But what happens when the seeming no body turns out to have a father that is a somebody. Not only does Court need to contest with an assassin that has it out only for him, but he must unravel a plot that has the lives of many people in the balance. We see Court try to balance his personal life and his professional life in a story that pushes him to his limits.
This book was hands down one of the best in the series. Mark Greaney made sure to keep all the characters that his readers have grown to love into one story. Not only is it one conducive story, but he has lines of side stories weaved in as well. In every book Greaney tries to peel back more of Court’s past and this book did the same. The story is action packed with suspense. I can’t rave enough of about this book. If you are already a fan you will love it and if you have never read a Gray Man book you will be in for a treat which will have you wanting to read the rest of the series.
Thank you Netgalley, Mark Greaney, and Berkley Publishing Group for allowing me to read an advance copy.

This eARC was provided by Netgalley.com and I am giving an unbiased review.
This is book number 15 in 'The Gray Man' series by this author. Again, Greaney has surprised me with a story line that he has been able to further on a great character. After the last book, where Court rescued his love, he is now pulled back into Ghost Town with Hanley, his old Sierra Six leader, and some other office operatives. This time there is a threat to US agents/teams around the world as somehow information of their whereabouts are being released and they are being murdered. As Court and his team investigate outside of any US agency protocol to find the leak, they discover more intrigue.
This has got to be the least action-oriented novel in this series, and concentrates more on intelligence info, deductive reasoning, and how the other World Powers work against each other. I found myself drawn more into the story as the alleged fictional happenings just sound believable in today's current times of crisis. At times it felt like the smokescreens were more than three deep, as they work to unravel the plot.
Kudos to Greaney! Another great read, and I am so hoping for at least a few more stories of Court and his retinue, even if we step out of the government-type intrigue and maybe just something like protecting their lives (and lives of the children). I'm throwing out 4.5 stars, though most sites only let me go to whole numbers.
