Dead Eye Reviews

  After three previous Grey Man thrillers and two under Tom Clancy’s name, Mark Greaney now lands this book full of experience and confidence.This really is very good indeed and did remind me of the Bourne books (as written by Ludlum), Mark Greaney has added complexity to the pace of his previous books and the result is an intelligent and action packed thriller.Our ‘hero’ Court Gentry manages to clear one of the enemies off his back, but is still on the run and being hunted by the US in the form of an external agency Treadwell. His is offered assistance by a fellow assassin who has his own agenda for The Grey Man and once again he is caught in the middle without knowing who to trust. New identification technology means he has fewer places to hide and those on his tail are getting closer and closer.Blistering action, tradecraft, conspiracies and double crosses merge into a real page turner. The author has a habit (also displayed in his Clancy novels) of re introducing his characters at the start of chapters: “Thirty three year old Mossad targeting officer Laureen Tattersal stepped through…” kind of thing. It becomes very irritating very quickly and I hope he loses the habit quickly but that is the only minor irritation in an otherwise excellent and highly recommended book.

  It is what it is, pure escapism, loved it so much so I am working my way through the whole lot. It's not literature and sometimes you have to make a little stretch of faith. Having said that the characters are good and the plot is a real page turner. Came promptly and in good condition. A proper Ronseal book.

  I have read all Mark Greaney's 'Gray man' books and enjoyed them..but. The but is his imagination running away with him in fight scenes and importantly the damage his hero sustains but it never impacts him and his ability to hop on and off ships and planes dashing to the four corners of the world. All authors have a licence to be over the top but I thought Greaney's imagination was a little over active. This was a very good, intense story and is well worth a read. I made sure I read several chapters every night and looked forward to it. There is still, with 'Dead Eye' that ability to carry a festering wound but behave normally and jump on a plane to fly everywhere with the minimum fuss, but the story itself is very good and I would recommend the book and hopefully the next one will be even better. At one stage I felt this would be my last by this author but now I have him on my 'must buy' list.
