Why people recommend it
The Gray Man by Mark Greaney is a high-octane thriller novel that follows a lethal CIA operative turned assassin as he navigates global danger. Joe Rogan discussed reading the entire series on multiple episodes of The Joe Rogan Experience as a form of immersive escapism, noting that he was originally introduced to the books by author Jack Carr. Rogan contrasted the fast-paced literary series with the cinematic adaptation starring Ryan Gosling, observing that the original novels are considerably more brutal and distinct from the film. Mark Greaney himself appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience to discuss his extensive series, including installments like Sierra Six, with Rogan detailing his progress through the eleven books. Additionally, Jack Carr mentioned Greaney's work on The Joe Rogan Experience, praising the enduring nature of the character and discussing the creative challenges of maintaining a long-running, ageless action series.
