Appartient à la sérieGray Man (13)
"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"-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

That kind of shocks me, as I'm terrible for getting fatigued with any long running series (say, anything over about six books). I can, off the top of my head, really only think of James S.A. Corey's 10-book Expanse series, the constantly expanding Joe Ledger series by Jonathan Maberry, Joe R. Lansdale's Hap & Leonard series, and the phenomenal 41 books in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series.
And this one. Five series, out of likely hundreds that I've started and quit. So, that's saying something about both Greaney's storytelling ability.
This one's really fun, even if I did figure out what was going on far earlier than I was likely supposed to. It's the same stuff...Court gets yoinked into an impossible situation that he then has to fight his way out of.
The strength here is, the impossible situations are always different, and the cast of characters that inhabit Court's world are always a lot of fun.
And this one also happens to be quite topical, so bonus marks for that.
Another winner in the series. ( )
