Synopsis
In Mark Greaney's pulse-pounding thriller, "Back Blast," Court Gentry, famously known as the Gray Man, embarks on his most personal and dangerous mission yet: uncovering the truth behind the CIA's kill-on-sight order against him years ago. Once the Agency's top operative, Gentry was inexplicably disavowed, forcing him into a life as an enigmatic international assassin for hire. Now, he's determined to confront his former partners and the architects of his last ill-fated mission. His quest for answers inadvertently thrusts him into a deep-seated conspiracy within the US intelligence community, a secret so explosive that powerful figures are willing to kill to keep it buried. With the full force of the American government now actively pursuing him on home soil, Gentry must navigate a treacherous landscape, evade capture, and stay one step ahead of those who want him silenced permanently, all while piecing together the fragments of his past to secure his future.
