Agent in Place

The Gray Man novels are among my favorite books I've ever read, and among the few books I have read more than once. After Dead Eye (book 4) I thought the series was over, then when Back Blast came out (3 years after the previous book) I was ecstatic. As books 5, 6, and 7 came out I was pleasantly surprised at each.

After having just finished Agent in Place, however, my only thought is “please just stop”. This book (to me at least) seemed like Mark Greaney's attempt at dragging out the series. Court did nothing overly spectacular or interesting, and the story focused far too much on side characters that did not need to be focused on at all. I still liked it overall and in deference to the first 6 books I gave it 3 stars, but the series needs a drastic overhaul or an end.

Personally I would like to have a final book where Court dies - perhaps doing something incredible.
