Description

Artificial intelligence leads to shockingly real danger for the Gray Man in this latest entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.

A car accident in Japan.

A drowning in Seoul.

A home invasion in Boston.

Someone is killing the world’s leading experts on robotics and artificial intelligence. Is it a tech company trying to eliminate the competition or is it something even more sinister?

After all, artificial intelligence may be the deadliest battlefield gamechanger since the creation of gunpowder. The first nation to field weapons that can act at the speed of computer commands will rule the battlefield.

It’s an irresistible lure for most, but not for the Gray Man. His quest for a quiet life has led him to Central America where he and his lover, Zoya Zakharova, have assumed new identities. With a list of enemies that  includes billionaires, terrorists, and governments, they need to keep a low profile, but the world’s deadliest assassin can’t expect to hide out forever.

Eventually, they’re tracked down and offered a job by an old acquaintance of Zoya’s. He needs their help extracting a Russian scientist who is on the kill list. They reject the offer, but just being seen with him is enough to put assassins on their trail.

Now, they’re back on the run, but no matter which way they turn, it's clear that whoever's tracking them is always going to be one step ahead. Since flight’s no longer possible, fight is the only option left, and no one fights dirtier than the Gray Man.

    I thought this book was pretty good but not a favorite of this series. There’s certainly some real world danger here (sounds a lot like the Terminator) and while some ideas here may feel like science fiction if you watch the interviews the author gives it’s very much a reality. I do feel like the signature Gray Man evasiveness and fighting skills were missing a bit and hope the next book provides it mire.

    One of my favorite authors and characters. I was looking forward to this new release. Sometimes an author can make the plot too complicated as was the case here. I had to work hard to get this book finished. Not at all what I hoped for. Maybe next time.
  • Always good

    Easy to spot the plot line early but a really fun adventure delving into the most important topic of our time - Ai.

    The latest gray man chapter had more depth and storytelling than recent ones. There is obviously a sequel. Can’t wait to read the next one!

    Greaney provided a masterclass in storytelling. I loved the pace and sequence throughout. A must read page turner. I wish the next one was out!
