Although the creator is Korean, and the show did gangbusters on Netflix, North Korea still has issues. So much so, that they are set to execute a man, for smuggling in copies of the series. And distributing them to school children. Delusional Tory MP, Nick Fletcher, tried to claim that boys no longer have good role models, during a Westminster debate. He used the Female Doctor Who as part of his ramblings. Which mainly highlights Fletcher's fragile grasp on reality! It's not really that shocking (though people are acting that way), that the Taliban have put in place new crazy rules affecting women. Like, they can no longer appear on TV! Interpol have really reinforced the notion that they are a worth group of dullards. Because they recently elected the United Arab Emirates's Interior Minister, Ahmed Nasser AL RAISI, as their new President. In a move that seems more to garner interest than actually meet a demand. The Brit Awards have merged their 'male' and 'female' categories for 'Best Artist Award'. So in 2022, it will just be 'Best British Artist'. All this and more, on this week's #EFTV PLUS, we head over to Netflix for their live-action adaptation anime classic 'Cowboy Bebop'. Which, is not a western and is set in space!

When a missing American agent re-appears in Venezuela, Court Gentry, the Gray Man, is dispatched to bring him in, but a team of assassins has other ideas. Court escapes with his life and a vital piece of intelligence. Meanwhile, CIA agent Zoya Zakharova is in Berlin. Her mission: to infiltrate a private intelligence firm with some alarming connections.

Mark is back and joins us to talk about his latest Grey Man novel, "One Minute Out." From Mark Greaney, the New York Times bestselling author of Mission Critical and a coauthor of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan novels, comes another high-stakes thriller featuring the world's most dangerous assassin: the Gray Man. While on a mission to Croatia, Court Gentry uncovers a human trafficking operation. The trail leads from the Balkans all the way back to Hollywood. Court is determined to shut it down, but his CIA handlers have other plans. The criminal ringleader has actionable intelligence about a potentially devastating terrorist attack on the US. The CIA won't move until they have that intel. It's a moral balancing act with Court at the pivot point.
Go behind the scenes with Mark as he discusses his latest novel ONE MINUTE OUT. Mark Greaney burst onto the thriller scene in 2009 with his best-selling debut THE GRAY MAN. The pulse pounding introduction of Court Gentry, a government operative turned freelance assassin, put the thriller world on notice: Greaney was a force to be reckoned with. The novel's breakneck pace and sharp characterizations caught the attention of Tom Clancy, who tapped Greaney to cowrite the continuing adventures of Jack Ryan. Completing three novels co-written with Clancy, and four additional after the legendary author passed away, Greaney garnered an even larger following. After years of writing two books a year, Mark Greaney stepped away from the Jack Ryan series to focus solely on the Gray Man novels. His inventive storytelling, constantly shifting locales, and wildly original action sequences set a new standard in the genre. But it is the man at the heart of his novels, Court Gentry, aka Violator, aka The Gray Man that continues to surprise and delight his readers. And now, with ONE MINUTE OUT, Greaney shows a side of the Gray Man we have never seen before. Written in first person, ONE MINUTE OUT gives readers the chance to see the world, not in black and white, but in shades of Gray. Don't forget to subscribe to the CREW's channel and leave a comment.

Mark Greaney, #1 NYT bestselling author As one of the top action and military thriller writers in the country and co-author of three novels with legendary novelist Tom Clancy, Mark shares his insights on writing killer fight scenes, researching international thrillers, and climbing into the mind of an assassin. "Gunmetal Grey"; Mark Greaney, the #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan novels, delivers another breakneck thriller following the world's deadliest assassin—the Gray Man… After five years on the run Court Gentry is back on the inside at the CIA. But his first mission makes him wish he had stayed on the outs when a pair of Chinese agents try to take him down in Hong Kong. Normally the Chinese prefer to stay eyes-only on foreign agents. So why are they on such high alert? Court's high stakes hunt for answers takes him across Southeast Asia and leads to his old friend, Donald Fitzroy, who is being held hostage by the Chinese. Fitzroy was contracted to find Fan Jiang, a former member of an ultra-secret computer warfare unit responsible for testing China's own security systems. And it seems Fan may have been too good at his job—because China wants him dead. The first two kill teams Fitzroy sent to find Fan have disappeared and the Chinese have decided to "supervise" the next operation. What they don't know is that Gentry's mission is to find Fan first and get whatever intel he has to the US. After that, all he has to do is get out alive...
