Former counterterrorism expert Simon Gervais’ debut novel, THE THIN BLACK LINE, was an immediate sensation and an international bestseller, drawing raves from bestselling authors Steve Berry (“Realistic, vivid, dramatic, this is a story told by someone who knows what he's talking about”), David Morell (“A high-speed, break-neck, turbo-charged thriller that takes readers behind the scenes of the war on terrorism”), and others, along with reviewers such as Ottawa Life, which called THE THIN BLACK LINE, “A fascinating look into Canada's covert operations, complemented by loveable and heroic characters you will find yourself rooting for.” Now those characters are back in a sequel novella that puts them on a mission with potentially devastating consequences.

A LONG GRAY LINE pits the International Market Stabilization Institute – a privately funded organization operating outside official channels to protect North America's financial interests – against two foes at the same time. One could decimate the American stock market and throw the entire world economy into a tailspin. The other is a piece of unfinished business from their last operation that could be even more destructive. Their ability to act in the face of confounding choices will have an effect on the future for years to come.

Featuring Mike and Lisa Walton – the husband-and-wife team of operatives who led the charge in THE THIN BLACK LINE – A LONG GRAY LINE is a thriller so packed with action and tension that it contains enough excitement for stories four times its size.

Fast Moving Storyline Full of Action and Well-developed Characters.

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2016

A LONG GRAY LINE by Simon Gervais updates his readers on the activities of his protagonists, husband and wife team Mike and Lisa Walton for the privately funded organization focusing of protecting US and Canada’s interests from action of terrorists groups. Simon provides readers with the backstory of Mike and Lisa and provides regular updates as his action paced plot unfolds. He introduces his readers to several support characters and their backstories as he brings them into the storyline.

The International Marketing Stabilization Institutes (IMSI) uncovers a plot to create events that would upset the world economy. The group needs to determine how the terrorist plans to throw the American Stock Exchange into a tailspin. When they find IMSI’s nemesis, The Sheik, is behind the plot they send teams to find the plans and stop them. Mike and Lisa lead the covert team to find the terrorist and take necessary steps to eliminate the terrorist threat and uncover who is funding the Sheik and his mission. Simon’s storyline never slows down from start to finish. He delivers action and intrigue as readers follow the IMIS team on their mission. The author provides a great story and well-developed characters and an ending that sets up the team’s next mission in his next book, YET TO B E TITLED.. This fast moving story earns a five-star ranking and a must read recommendation.

FANTASTIC BOOK!

You should read Simon’s first book The Thin Black Line to understand this book better.
Mike and Lisa continue their revenge against the terrorist. I greatly appreciate the sacrifices made so that I may enjoy a free way of life here in the United States and across the world. If Mike and Lisa succeed, and survive, what will the future hold? They each have their own private agenda, their own duty to serve, and the limited hours they spend in each other's company are very special.
I could not wait to get this book and it did not disappoint. If you like good clean writing, not preachy, but want a page-turner, this book will deliver. I enjoyed this book from the first page all the way through to the last page. It was difficult to put down. This is truly a good read with suspense and patriotism. Strong characters with love of country. Subject matter was well researched. I can't wait for another inspiring book from Simon continuing Mike and Lisa's and all the others at IMSI for the fight against terrorism.
I highly recommend this book, and I also recommend this author for future books.

A MUST READ for anyone who loves action/suspense stories! Simon Gervais is a master storyteller! Don't miss out!

I LOVED this novella! I do recommend that you read Simon's book The Thin Black Line first. I could hardly put this novella down! The plot kept me intrigued from the beginning until the very end!

This is a continuation of an action packed story-line that is being played out in today's headlines...you may have heard of it--it's called Terrorism. The author uses his own personal and professional experience as a federal agent in protecting high profile world leaders, such as the POTUS and Queen Elizabeth and three Canadian prime ministers, in the development of his characters. His personal involvement with terrorism reinforces the authenticity of the protagonists, thus giving them credibility...and they are patriotic and are willing to do whatever the mission takes. The bad guys (Islamic State) also have credibility and are pure evil.

Simon is an expert on terrorism--you can really feel how these terrorist cells are created; how the terrorists think; how they train; how they plan their next mission; how everyone is expendable except a handful of men at the top...and the author does not have to consult with anyone as he has firsthand info and conveys it in a way that is factual and easy to understand.

The end of the novella is the PERFECT setup for his next novel (A Red Dotted Line), which comes out on November 1st, 2016.

At the end of the novella, the author put the first few chapters of his next novel. I read them and kinda wish I did not because now I cannot wait to get that book. So I have to think about it and wonder about it for 6 more months! But Simon G. is such a good author, I know it will be worth the wait.

I can't wait to find out who is in the limo with the Sheik...that's as close to a spoiler as I will get.

I recommend this author and his books! I will read anything that he writes.

What a joy to read this new author's work. If you have read his first book "The Thin Black Line" then you definitely will want to read this novella. It continues the same story line and adds a new twist. If you have not read his first book then by all means do yourself a favor and buy it now! Unlike most action/suspense novelists, this man has actually been there, done that. He doesn't need an "advisor" to tell him what it's like to chase terrorists through Europe and elsewhere. He's been there!

Croatia is nice this time of year.

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2016

You will want to have read The Thin Black Line before reading this novella. Not a requirement, but you will be glad you did. Mike and Lisa Walton are not your ordinary married couple. They are super-ops. Having missed out on the chance to get the Sheik responsible for the terrorist attack that killed his daughter, mother and in-laws, they are tasked to Syria where one of the sheik's leaders has been found. They end up not getting him, but recovering laptops and flash drives that contain valuable information. With this intel, they are able to thwart an attack on the Israeli embassy in Croatia. You should know, it is not as simple as all that. The Russians and even the Mossad are involved. But that's why you read the book, right? Enjoy!

Canadian counter-terrorists couple strike's again.

Reviewed in Canada on April 2, 2016

Verified Purchase

I pre-ordered this Novella and got it on April 1st. It is now April 2nd and I just finished reading it. For those of you who read "A Thin Black Line", (if you didn't, order NOW) be prepared for another non-stop action of the "hottest" counter-terrorist couple's Mike and Lisa. "A Long Gray Line" is super charged. It's the previous book on steroids. If this is an indication of the intensity of Simon's next book "A Red Dotted Line", it will be another "can't put it down" page-turner. Bravo Simon.

Another awesome book from Simon Gervais! I always know I've found a great author when I start & finish their work in a day or two. Mr. Gervais is one of these authors. For any Brad Thor fans who haven't yet taken the time to read A Long Gray Line or Simon's first book The Thin Black Line I strongly suggest you down load them now!!

I like novellas. The between novels help round out characters. And this one is no exception. Learning more about Zima AMD a couple of other characters was great. It also allowed time to see more about how the Sheik thinks.
