Agent in Place (Gray Man)

Product Information

Perestroika is sweeping over the Soviet Union and both covert sides of the Iron Curtain are wondering where their place will be. The status quo in the spy and military agencies love the steady employment, prestige, and money that come from having a permanent enemy. But Gorbachev is dismantling that seemingly perpetual machine.

Forget about solving all these crimes; the signal triumph here is (spoiler) the heroine’s survival. I always like the names to have something to do with the story, so I started just looking through this big list of names I have for potential books. I have maybe two or three dozen ideas of titles just laying around, and one of them was Agent in Place. Originally, I think Tom Colgan thought of it, and it totally fits this story because ‘agent in place’ refers to an operative who has penetrated into some sort of intelligence target, and that is what the Gray Man does in this one.” I told my editor after my sixth book that it might be time for me to hang it up,” confessed Greaney. “The truth is that I was afraid I was going to run out of things to do. Alexis manages to get his hands on the entire memorandum, including an analysis that reveals the identity of NATO's highest-ranking "agent in place" in Moskow. Will that agent be able to escape from Moskow before the KGB comes for him? In all honesty I have not read all "Gray Man Books", but read a few and love this character. I believe the more you read in a series, the more you enjoy the character as you understand his/her personality.

At that point, I had done six books in five years. I had plenty of macro story ideas. Big, overall ideas. But the micro ideas, you know like, here’s a guy following someone down a street. There’s only so many ways you can tell that and keep it fresh, and I did not want to overstay my welcome in the Clancy universe. So, after six books, my editor sort of talked me into doing a seventh, and I’m really glad I did. I’m glad I wrote True Faith and Allegiance, but when that one was over, I knew it was time.” Mark Greaney continues his dominant run with Agent In Place, the best Gray Man thriller yet and one of the top must-read thrillers of 2018. Meanwhile, Sauvage identifies the location of the FSEU safehouse where Medina is being kept, which he relays to Drexler as well as Malik and his men. They infiltrate the estate, making Voland surrender himself to them and killing Tarek in the process. Rima manages to let Medina escape and then sets fire to the house; she was also killed. As Drexler and his henchmen leave the burning building, Sauvage and Malik find Medina running away and then capture her. However a group of "magicians" feel they can handle or neutralize the threat to their livelihoods with some sleight of hand - to make the audience see what they want to see and make it come crashing down. The action takes place in mainly three areas - the American Embassy where the main character Ben has a mysterious job, the KGB (and a hawkish True Believer sect within), and a Russian/American couple caught between the two. Give things from your inventory to your agent and have it build stuff for you. Use the

Death a thousand times to the hired Muslim Brothers, Death a thousand times to the Muslim Brothers, the criminal Brothers, the corrupt Brothers.” – Hafez Al – Assad. Part of a thriller author’s job is to stay ahead of the headlines, which can be hard to do when you’re writing a book more than a year before it’ll actually be published. It’s something a lot of writers struggle with. Plus, the genre is so full of talented writers and popular series right now that it can be challenging to come up with something truly different than what everyone else is doing.The plan is to have Court kidnap Bianca, a clear power-move by the Syrian expats (who call themselves the Free Syrian Army) designed to destabilize Ahmed al-Azzam’s government. After scouting his target, Court makes his move in the dark of the night, only to encounter a large number of ISIS militants who also converge on Bianca’s apartment, guns a-blazin’. Obviously I am coming into this series six books too late. When you are that far into a series, it’s evident that there are a number of different things you might be missing as a new reader. Sometimes that matters and other times it doesn’t. I would say with this book it was a mixed bag. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed the book, especially his treatment of the Syrian Civil War. He animated this conflict including how mercenary groups are coordinated and deployed. Travel the world with unlimited resources and loose rules with no one to report to….it all sounds horribly romantic to me, which I am sure in real life it is anything but. However a girl can dream. I was actually at a writers’ conference and I went to lunch with Tom Colgan. He asked me about the next book, and I was sort of like, ‘Hey, remember when I told you last year I was going to do one more and be done? I meant it,” Greaney said, again laughing as he recalled the moment. “It was the right time for me to step away and Marc Cameron did great, so I think everybody ended up winning in the end.”
