Hi, how are you? Yes, I am talking to you, the reader of this book's description. Okay, I get it, fourth-wall breaking is overdone. Get over it. This book, Villains Rule, is a fantasy action-comedy which you have to hear. Not because it redefines the genre, far from it. But rather for what it contains. A villain's tale. How often do you get to listen to a story where the villain is the protagonist? No, not an anti-hero, or a brooding monster, nor a hero thinly disguised as a villain. And not evil. If you want evil, take that nonsense to therapy.

The bastards in charge had uploaded his mind into a virtual death game. The whole world could now pay to see him play it and probably die. Regardless, he was not about to wait for death to come for him.

Borrowed ideas but a good read.
If you could sum up Agent G in three words, what would they be?
Thriller,Creative,Interesting,
What did you like best about this story?
It is a combination of many characters that have been created by other writers.
In this sense it is a Sci-Fi story that is a hybrid of a thriller and mystery.
Which character – as performed by Jeffrey Kafer – was your favorite?
It takes getting used to his performance but he did a good job with all the characters.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Powerful thrilling, exciting, and chilling read
Any additional comments?
I really liked this audio when I think ahead to the future I can see this being it. The story goes into the aliens and the issues they had and have with them. When I think about the time they come to earth I really hope I am not here to see it. I do not see any good coming out of it. The author goes into issues that could be touchy from the dead to being a live, the world is not as we know it today. States may or may not be there. The things they do with items we hold precious will blow your mind. Really the whole story is wonderful planned down to the last detail the whole book is mind blowing. I have no trouble picturing this as our future.
Mr. Kafer does a great job in his narration he has an agent voice that really pulls you in as he becomes part of his characters. His voice at first I didn’t care for because it sounded so agent like but I came to understand that is how it needed to be and grew to love it. It is a very strong voice that pulls you in making you forget you are listening as it becomes more of a movie. There are no background noise, no volume changes, and no repeats of working. His character voices are wonderful from his males to his females. His computer voice is so real just like you would picture it. He really brings the danger alive, as well as the excitement from each new obstacle that is overcome. Mr. Kafer puts a lot of emotion into his audio’s giving the reader a wonderful listen. His voice and tones never leaving you guessing you know just what each character is feeling from their excitement to their anger. His performance is outstanding giving you a clear, clean crisp audio you get lost in.
My heart went out to Agent G what it must feel like not to know who you are. Having to overcome so much and learn everything all over again. Than as he felt he was part of the military at one time I really felt for him and what he had become. There is a love interest as well as confusion on his part and on the computer chip in his mind. The world this author built seemed so real as well as the characters. This was an audio I couldn’t put down from the many different things the future holds and the new things it brings as well as the danger, excitement of all the twist and turns that are just so thrilling and at times chilling. You will never see California or Tennessee along with a few other states the same again. As I listened to this it remind me of the movie V where the aliens wanted and took what they wanted. This is how I see the future if they ever make it here.
I was a little confused at first of what a walk about was but it wasn’t long before the author brought to life just what it entitled and the danger it brings. This is a story of starting over, meeting your past and future head on, reality as well as the danger it brings. It is a story of hope and death, making a difference and just what the military means. What if there was no military who would save us? People become to set in their ways over looking issues but one man sees the future and knows the day will come when we must fight with all we have to keep everyone alive. There are those that feel this fight will never come as they wear their rose color glasses they are in for a rude awaking.
I was drawn from the first page as G is born, how he felt, his confusion and his fight to stay alive and bring justice to a world he doesn’t know. There are things one should never forget, one is how to fight keeping your love ones safe. One man gives his all and may die to save us all. It is setup for the next book in the series at least I hope there is another one. It really hit home for me how easy one gets use to the life we live and forget what we need to remember. I totally was invested and loved this plot, the characters that seem so real. I can hardly wait for the next book I wonder who it will be. There are others on the walk about will they be as interesting as G? I can’t wait to find out what this author has in store for us.

A thoroughly enjoyable technothriller
Agent G: Infiltrator is a fast-paced technothriller about a futuristic assassin appropriately named "G". G's job is to kill people for money. He has to do it for 10 years and they will give him his memory back. I can tell you one thing, this is way more than a story about a sci-fi assassin.
My honest "blurb" explanation of this book is Jason Bourne meets Hitman with a little bit of an overarching feeling of Memento. And to be honest, I'm proud of that explanation. There are parts of this book that felt like they were pulling from the Bourne books and movies while other parts felt like they were expanded on from the Hitman video games (I never saw the movie).
C.T. Phipps can write. Wow, can he write. He was able to make me laugh one second and be completely engulfed in another theory the next. G was easily one of the most memorable characters I've read in a long time. He had an attitude that I can relate to and every time he was snarky or said something smart I had a good chuckle. A lot of books like this can be so serious throughout making them feel longer than they are, but the comedic breaks throughout this really made the pages and hours fly by.
Tie that with the incredible narration by narrating phenom Jeffrey Kafer and you have a hit. Kafer was perfect for this book. I listen to a lot of books and this was easily one of the best fits I've heard in quite some time.
Every time I thought I had this book figured out I was wrong and it threw me for another loop. There were a few times that I thought I'd figured the ending out -- nope! Not even close, nice try Brian.
Overall, Agent G: Infiltrator was an incredibly enjoyable technothriller sci-fi assassin book that was fun. You can't say a lot of books are fun... but I enjoyed the heck out of it. If you enjoy conspiracy theories, the singularity, cyborgs, and good old clean assassin fun -- Agent G: Infiltrator is definitely for you.
I was given a free copy of Agent G. This has not affected my review in any way.

I'd give this 6 stars if I could!
When I heard this was coming out, I checked the blurb, being a big fan of this author. I got super excited about the premise, and couldnt wait to get it. Well, I got a copy and listened to it in one sitting. It blew me away, it was that good.
The story revolves around Agent G, an assassin who works for the Society, a charity front that arranges high tech assasinations for large sums of money. If you have the money, they have the assassin for you! Assasins, named A to Z, are mindwiped, and are told they will be well paid and get their memories back after 10 years of service to the Society. This is the scenario G finds himself in. All the agents are cybernetically enhanced, both mentally and physically, and have beyond imagination black technology, real secret squirrel stuff.
This is the situation G finds himself. After he is ambushed at the Boston airport by a rival organization, the Carnivale, during a recall of all Society agents, it is discovered the Society has a mole in its midst. The mole is uncovered, and G is tasked with infiltrating the Carnivale and assassinating its leader, the Caesar and his daughter, a killer assassin in her own right. What commences is a wild ride of betrayals, plans within plans, gunfights, killer cyborg duels, torture and discovery for G, as he discovers more about the past that was wiped from his mind. In the end, he finds who he can really trust, and it's not who he expected. He has to decide what he really wants to be, and if the price for being that person is worth paying.
As always with a CT Phipps book, the story is very character driven. Whether its G, who is conflicted on many levels, his handler Marissa, with a shady past G is only becoming aware of, Persephone, the shadowy ice queen director of the Society or even the Caesar and his children, the characters are well defined, their actions making sense in context with their characters. They are fleshed out in subtle but important ways, being much more than just two dimensional cardboard cutoouts sterotypes of spies, assassins and villains. The setting is interresting, with locations and action occurring around the world. The dialogue is also crisp, swinging between serious and snark easily, depending on the situation. The story never lags with unneeded exposition, keeping a taut thriller feel.
As far as narration goes, Jeffery Kafer was definitely at his best for this one. Whether the voices were male or female, cyborg, computer, Italian or a variety of American accents, Jeffery nailed them all. He brought each character to life, giving them a vibrancy you get really attached to. His narration of the story never lags, keeping a good flow and is never monotonous. Overall, I would have rated the whole effort six stars if they had that rating. As it is, get this book if you like sci fi or thrillers!

What would you do...?
The main character, G, a cybernetically enhanced superspy finds himself facing crossroads that lead him to a life of action, intrigue, betrayal and assassination. This book is the turning point of his existence as a “Letter”. While I listened to Mr Kafer masterfully enunciating the agent’s thoughts I find myself wondering what would my decision have been in those situations. C.T. Phipps made me care about this apparently despicable character to the point that I wanted G to succeed, no matter the cost.
I loved the book and I’ll be listening to the rest of the series.

I'm a huge fan of Phipps Supervillainy series, so I bought this book a while ago. It took me a VERY long time to finally listen to it, and I'm so glad I did! What a crazy story! Nobody is a safe character, here, even the protagonist! All of the characters continued to surprise me, throughout the story! This was very much an action story, with a tiny bit of romance and a boatload of cool sciencey stuff, secret societies, and paranoia. I can't wait to listen to the next book!

A mixture of amazing concepts for a great produc
Take the letter agents if MIB, with a splash of Jason Bourne, a mix of the echo clones (spoiler) and this is what you get. Multiple groups of elite assassins competing with each other and changing the world. Rogue agents, intrigue, meddling politicians, twists and turns that will leave you begging for more.

An adventure worth repeated listens
I have listened to other C. T. Phipps books and this is my favorite. Well-written story with captivating characters, convincing action and plot, and a slap-in-the-face, diabolical ending. Jeffrey Kafer delivers a memorable performance, a perfect fit for the main protagonist, setting the tone for the entire book of characters.

a great starter to a new series
a very good short listen. (about 6.5hrs) it is a great introduction and origin story to get to know a new protagonist/ antagonist. though i feel some areas could of had a bit more, the surounding context makes up for it and the emotion within gives justification.
the telling by Jeffery Kafer is once again on top, making this story come to life in your mind and really feel for Agent G all the way through.
this makes me exited for the next installment of agent G's adventures

Excellent!!
Agent G is a "Letter". He works for The International Refugee Society and is basically an assassin. Thing is, the Letters have "given up their families and their memories for ten years of service with the promise of a life of luxury awaiting them". Usually the Letters are happy to do their job, but Agent G know's there's more. He just want's to do the 10 years and go back to his life. But how can he? He has been augmented with technology that people kill to get. And his life is about to get even worse when he is sent to infiltrate an organisation that is a big Rival to the "IRS".
I've been a fan of C.T. Phipps for a while now but this book just made him one of my favourite authors!! He manages to make each book unique, entertaining and fun. This had me on the edge of my seat but also sniggering a lot!! He puts his own stamp on his books and really makes them unforgettable.
I really liked Agent G. He is mysterious, arrogant, and intriguing. I liked seeing his story unravel and finding out more about him. He was well written and developed. In fact, one thing this author knows, is how to flesh out his characters and make them easy to like. Even the bad guys are ones you just can't help but like!!
The plot was fast paced and intense. I so enjoy reading the worlds this author comes up with!! They are all so varied and entertaining. He throws in curve ball after curve ball and really makes the reading experience so much more enjoyable. You can never tell where the story is going.
Jeffrey Kafer is always able to bring any book to life. He is always clear and concise and has such an array of tones and cadences that make for effortless listening.
