About this listen
It's been years since the Gray Man's first mission, but the trouble's just getting started in the latest entry in the number one New York Times best-selling series.
Before he was the Gray Man, Court Gentry was Sierra Six, the junior member of a CIA action team.
In their first mission, they took out a terrorist leader, at a terrible price. Years have passed. The Gray Man is on a simple mission when he sees a ghost: the long-dead terrorist, but he's remarkably energetic for a dead man.
A decade of time hasn't changed the Gray Man. He isn't one to leave a job unfinished or a blood debt unpaid.

I did read some of the reviews before hitting this book and whoever it was who said they found the timeline jumps confusing needs to spend more time watching sophisticated Hollywood movies that do the same thing. It helps your focus and concentration ... or you could go back to the amusement park and get on another roller coaster that thinks for you!?! I think this book is the dogs nuts!
This gets top marks from me 5/5/5

Primarily because of the seriously deficient research on the key subject—the Kashmir issue between India and Pakistan. Parroting what the New York Times says is not nuance by any stretch. It actually makes me question the authenticity of the geopolitical plots in the previous books as well, because this one is so obviously shallow despite better information being easily available.
Then there’s the smaller stuff, which honestly makes it worse because it’s so basic. The protagonist steals a Ford Econoline—a car that was never even sold here. And somehow the author “discovered” that Chikki is a nickname for Indian girls (which is true), but then confidently explains it as meaning “little chicken.” Any Indian knows it’s a peanut-jaggery sweet. That’s not obscure trivia—that’s just lazy.
Coming to the narration—Jay Schneider has, in previous books, bent over backwards to pronounce Russian, French, German, and other names correctly. Here, he just wasn’t bothered. The pronunciation of Indian names is jarring, the Hindi is painful to listen to, and I genuinely don’t know where the confidence to attempt it comes from. The accent is straight-up cringe. It’s very obvious he hasn’t interacted with anyone from the kind of background he’s trying to portray.
All of this just kills immersion. And worse, it breaks trust in the author. If the research here is this poor, it’s hard not to wonder how much of the earlier books were just convincing writing rather than actual understanding.
If you speak or understand Hindi, or have even a basic awareness of the Kashmir situation, this is a very frustrating listen.
Skip this one. 1/5.
From incredible to uncredible.
