From #1 New York Times bestselling author Mark Greaney comes the second entry in the explosive thriller series featuring the lethal assassin known as the Gray Man.

When an old comrade Court Gentry thought was dead returns to haunt him, his own life is put in the crosshairs.

The man wants Court to complete a mission, with one crucial catch to his orders: Instead of a difficult assassination, the job will entail a nearly impossible kidnapping--and Court must return his quarry to the very CIA team that turned on him.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Disgraced former CIA agent Court "The Gray Man" Gentry (introduced in 2009's The Gray Man) makes ends meet as an assassin working for clients he cannot trust. Russian arms merchant Sidorenko wants Court to kill Sudan's President Abboud, arguably the man responsible for the genocide in Darfur. The CIA makes a counteroffer: kidnap Abboud and give him to American officials in exchange for amnesty. Court cannot refuse and treks through Sudan in pursuit of nebulous, ever-changing goals. Every element in this book is familiar, but Court is endearing in his perseverance even as his schemes are undermined by sympathetic victims, misleading information, outright lies, poor planning, betrayal, conflicting agendas, and simple bad luck. What could have been a storm of clichés becomes an action-filled yet touching story of a man whose reason has long ago been subsumed by his work ethic.

I love the fact that this book picked up where the last book ended. It helps the story flow (for me). I get frustrated with Gentry sometimes because I feel like I am there with him. Good book - already started Book 3.

Can't give it 5 stars as I have not read it yet. If it is written in the same vein as the first book, should be very captivating. Made a mistake of reading the a couple of the Grey Man books out of sequence. Trying toe right that withe this book.

On Target is the 2nd offering in Mark Greaney's Gray Man series. The Gray Man is a former CIA uber-assassin who was cut loose with a kill order for unknown reasons. He has adopted a mercenary for hire persona, but will only take on jobs where he feels some sense of moral and cosmic justice are in order. While he was in the employ of major corporation after book 1, we find him now working for a Russian mobster and is tasked with killing an African despot for the Russian government. The CIA intrudes and offers him reconciliation if instead he can kidnap the despot for US delivery to the Hague for prosecution. Never staying on task and sticking to the plan, the Gray Man goes rogue on all sides, while the CIA squad for the kidnapping extraction gets overwhelmed. After double crossing the Russians, the CIA changes its mind and wants the despot killed, but the Gray Man attempts an end run to stop a civil war. In the end, he fails his objective and is once again on the run with everyone upset and hunting him.

Tradecraft emphasizes more the action than the spy elements this time out as there is literally a war going on in theater. Some old colleagues are reunited, but the incident that led to the Gray Man's dismissal from the CIA while broached, is never revealed, leaving him in the dark and suggesting that this will be an ongoing theme for future installments. The reader also sees the internal struggles as he deals with his isolation and painkiller addiction. The character and the plots are both entertaining and compelling with a page turner presentation.

The pacing is relentless. The jargon is intrinsic to the militaristic plot lines as well as entertaining. I find the Gray Man character far too thin and predictable for my tastes. Something other than a bloodbath occasionally might be added as an alternative to the narrative. Or how about converging plot lines that provide some suspense. This series is just kind of a one-dimensional blood letting with no conclusion. Fun and quick. Nothing complex.

In the first Gray Man book we got to see our hero in action with barely a second to think. This book, the second in the series, has Court in more trouble from the start… but it also gives us a glimpse of the person and his past. Of course for those looking for action, there is plenty of that here … I very enjoyable read.. looking forward to reading the next book

Rasant, hart, gnadenlos. Ein intensiver intelligenter Action Thriller, der seine Helden frisst und wieder ausspuckt. asse.
Mag man den GRAY MAN, liebt man ON TARGET.
Court Gentry is back. Nach seinem gerade-so-Überleben in THE GRAY MAN, führt sein Weg nach Africa, um genau zu sein, in den Sudan. Im Auftrag eines russischen Oligarchen soll er den Presidenten des Sudan töten. So war der Plan. Aber wie es so mit Plänen ist, fallen sie doch gerne Murphys Law zum Opfer. "A plan is just a big list of shit that's not going to happen." So auch hier. Schon der Transport in den Sudan erweist sich als Anfang vom Ende als die Maschine statt in Khartoum in Al Fashir landet um eine illegale Waffenlieferung der Russen zu liefern. Ellen Wash vom europäischen ICC, seine ehemaligen Teamkollegen von der CIA, die ihn mehr tot als lebendig sehen würden und ein vom Krieg zerstörtes Land, sorgen für eine eigene Choreographie. Die Russen wollen President Abboud töten, die CIA will ihn entführen und Gentry soll es für beide Gruppen richten. Er lässt sich auf dieses Doppelspiel ein, nur um am Ende festzustellen, dass er nicht nur von den Russen, sondern auch von den eigenen Leuten hintergangen und mit falschen Versprechungen in die Falle gelockt wurde.
Ein sehr spannender Thriller, der schnell, atemlos und mit geschliffenen Dialogen die Charakteren zeichnet. Diese Novel zeigt einen Courtland Gentry, der an seine Grenzen stößt und seine Verletzbarkeit, die nicht nur Ellen Walsh, sondern ihm selber fast zum Verhängnis wird.
Empfehlenswert. Vom ersten bis zum letzten Buchstaben. Jedenfalls in der englischen Originalversion.
