![]() ![]() The 12 th book in the Gray Man series, Burner was a particularly intense read with a fantastic story behind it.Īlex Velesky is a Ukrainian expat living in Switzerland, whose comfy life as a notorious mover of immoral money has been hollow ever since the death of his family back in Ukraine at the start of the invasion. His latest release is the outstanding Burner, which was one of my most anticipated novels of 2023. I personally have had an exceptional time with several of the Gray Man books, including Greaney’s debut novel, The Gray Man (which got a film adaptation last year), as well as the later entries such as Mission Critical, One Minute Out (one of my favourite books and audiobooks of 2020), Relentless (one of my favourite books and audiobooks of 2021) and Sierra Six (one of my favourite books and audiobooks of 2022). Following legendary assassin Court Gentry, better known as the Gray Man, as he gets involved in several deadly situations, the Gray Man books are one of the leading spy thriller series and I have deeply enjoyed the epic and powerful adventures that Greaney has so far released. Not only has he produced some cool standalone books, such as last year’s exciting action romp Armored, or the cool military thriller he co-wrote with Hunter Rawlings IV, Red Metal (one of my favourite books and audiobooks of 2019), but he has also written the exceptional Gray Man spy thriller books. Greaney is a very impressive author who has been killing it throughout the genre for years. Nothing starts off the thriller field of 2023 quite like the latest Gray Man novel from leading author Mark Greaney. The epic and captivating Gray Man series by legendary thriller author Mark Greaney returns with another exciting spy thriller entry, Burner, which thrusts the protagonists into the middle of some major real-world events. We Smiths did and cannot recommend it highly enough.Publisher: Sphere/Audible (Audiobook – 21 February 2023) Do your family a favor and read this marvelous novel together. No one will ever write a better rabbit story than Richard Adams has. But for Frith’s sake, the Taj Mahal is another thing altogether. When I finally read Watership Down, I discovered I had built a lego hut in the shadow of the Taj Mahal. ![]() Because here’s what I tell people when they ask if The Green Ember is like Watership Down. ![]() Had I read it before starting, I wonder if I would have been able to write a rabbit story at all. I’m glad I didn’t read it until after I was done writing Ember. It is magnificent and I love it immensely. It is the prince of rabbit tales. In fact, there are very few novels containing characters of any kind that can compare with this book. Sometime after I was done writing Ember, I read Watership Down. I avoided Redwall for a similar reason (and I still haven’t read any of those.) I wrote my book. I had heard it was great and I didn’t want to read anything that would influence (or discourage) me. (Or it may have been just before I began, but after I had decided to turn the stories I had been telling my kids for years into a novel.) My friend, Eric Peters, gave me a copy when I was in the process of writing The Green Ember. ![]() I had heard of Watership Down for years, but never read it. But I love the story, the characters, and I’m grateful for the tremendous response it’s received from readers. It’s my first book, and I hope I will improve as a writer. I am in no way embarrassed about having written The Green Ember. I get asked this fairly often, so I want to go on record with my response. ![]()
