Publisher's summary

From the best-selling author of the Supervillainy Saga comes the sequel to Agent G: Infiltrator.

Agent G has left the service of the International Refugee Society, the world's biggest provider of murder for hire, in order to work for the US government. Unfortunately, they are sending him after his former employers, and they know him as well as he knows them. 

The clock is ticking, though, until the Society's remaining leadership starts eliminating their opponents and attempts to seize control of the presidency. A traitor is also providing them with all the information they need to survive until their puppet is in power.  

Will G and his allies survive the purge? 

Sometimes it doesn't pay to be a cyborg spy.

Professional Hitmen Never Retire!

The time has come for Agent G to leave the International Refugee Society. The most notorious murderer for hire and cyborg spy. In order to do so, and live in peace, Agent G must remove the president from her position, throw the Society into chaos and convince the other “letters,” the ones he has not killed, into joining him. Agent G’s ultimate goal is to retire and live out the rest of his short life but not before correcting some wrongs and making amends where he can.

CT Phipps continues the dangerous adventures of Agent G with new twists and villains with humor and pop culture references. The story of G flows smoothly with some intense moments that only Phipps can deliver.

Jeffrey Kafer, the narrator, performs the story with voices that are pleasant and interesting. He becomes Agent G as the puns and pop culture references roll off his tongue with no effort – it is as if he really were Agent G. Kafer has nailed the indifference, anger and every other emotion of Agent G to perfection!

This is an entertaining book that keeps the listener on the edge of their seat and guessing as to the pop culture references. The book is fun and highly entertaining.

There were no issues with the production or quality of this book. It was professionally done.

A Fast Paced Sci-Fi Assassin Story

4.5 out of 5 stars

It’s really hard to get “Hitman” out of my head when I’m reading an Agent G book. Part of it is because of the bio-roids (spelling?) part and another part is how they are basically programmed to kill any target they are given.

But in all seriousness Saboteur feels like a love letter to the spy thriller. It combines a ton of different stories into one including Mr. and Mrs. Smith (G and S), Spy vs Spy, along with some aspect of Bond and Bourne thrown in for good measure. Shake all of these up, throw in a ton of sarcasm and wit and you have Agent G.

(This part could contain a brief spoiler) There were a few parts of Saboteur that threw me for a loop, and honestly, I can’t dive into any of them for fear of giving the plot away. But I’ll mention some hints. Brother, double-cross, and “who do you really work for?” to just name a few. I don’t think that any of them on their own will give any major things away, but I’m sorry if it spoils anything for you.

Phipps writes in all sorts of genres and each one of them feels like a love letter to that genre in a way, but these Agent G books are just so damn good. The marriage of science fiction and spy thriller really sets the Agent G series apart in my eyes. I think that the near future and black-tech in them really hit some need that I have in books. They are far enough into the future for G to be a real functioning… thing but they are still dealing with some of the same crap that we’re dealing with today. On top of that G is fighting for his life and the lives of other letters while trying to expose anyone he can in an attempt to clear up all of the bribery and hush money.

Overall, I thought that Saboteur was a blast of a story from beginning to end that kept me on the edge of my seat. Phipps wrote a story that felt real even though it was set in the future. And Kafer’s performance took it to the next level. I requested a free copy of this book from the author. It has not affected my review in any way.

Excellent!

This is book 2 in the Agent G series. I highly recommend listening to book 1 first, which was great! Agent G is like a sci-fi James Bond. He is a highly trained assassin, but he's also not quite human. He is a cloned mind inside of a very realistic looking android body. After he leaves the International Refugee Society, he goes to work for the US government and tracks down the remaining members of the society. Great series so far and a great narration by Jeffrey Kafer.

loved it....

I enjoy the twists and turns.Very well told story
Performed well too. gotta share with papa bear.

This series is a lot of fun.

I started this book almost two years after finishing the first book, Infiltrator. I was debating if I needed to re-listen to the first Agent G book to get me back in the world. I ended up just starting Saboteur without the re-listen and it didn’t take me long to get back into the Agent G series.

Agent G is a cyborg assassin. He is working for the US government now, instead of International Refugee Society. Originally, he was a part of a group of assassins known as letters. They all just have a single letter as their name and they are all cyborgs with many enhancements. In this, Agent G is working to either convert the other letters to his side or kill the ones that won’t give up their loyalties to the International Refugee Society. I don’t want to go into much more detail, because it could spoil, not only this book, but also Infiltrator.

If you’ve never read Phipps, his stories tend to be a lot of fun, full of humor and pop culture references. This one is no different. Phipps is one of my go-to authors when I need something to lighten my mood (which is a big need during 2020). While the stories can get a bit dark at times (I mean, this book is about an assassin), the stories will always get a laugh out of me. I also love the action he brings to his stories. While I wouldn’t always call Phipps characters “likeable”, I do really enjoy my time with them. G is an anti-hero full of snark. If you haven’t ever read a C.T. Phipps book, then you’re missing out.

Narration
Another plus to C.T. Phipps most stories are performed by the wonderful Jeffrey Kafer. Kafer is one of the great ones. I really love his ability to make the snark so much more powerful than when I read it on a page. He is the perfect fit for a Phipps style story. He can do a wide range of male and female voices and is able to handle any scene that is put in front of him. I’ve never been disappointed by a Kafer read book.

Best served cold!

Agent G, everyones favorite cyborg secret agent, is back and on a mission of revenge. Great characters, excellent story, and nonstop action. This is an awesome tenchnothriller series.

I gave the 100 rating

G takes the old question of who kills more a corporation or nations has got between a shadow war over who control the murder inc. The story was quiet a nice read do the jokes and references where bit obscure that they weren't really all that goid but nice try do. Has I listened to the story it was about the same to the first novel and will be a great choice if you liked the first novel

Great Sci Fi

Another home run by Kafer. The audiobook is well worth the listen and I look forward to the authors next venture into superb literature.

Agent story with a different

C.T. Phipps brings Agent G to life. I enjoyed this story because it different to most agent story.

There is some corse language, sex and violence. But in all it’s a good story.

Jefferey Kafer deep voice adds that something to the story. Each character has their own unique voices. I did have the speed on 1.25

This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher free of charge for a honest, unbiased review.

Phipps and Kafer have done it again!

What an excellent story, and superb narration! This story is so good, I am ashamed that I received it from the narrator for free. If you like the Hitman games, or have ever been interested in the assassin villain in almost any movie or video game, you will enjoy these stories. They turn the idea on its head and flesh the assassin’s story out, making him the protagonist and eventually turning him into the force for righteousness in a bad world turning worse.
Jeffrey Kafer is THE voice in my head for a hard boiled bad ass and by which all others will be measured for me from now on.

Enjoyable listen

The thing that I liked most about this book was the witty and intelligently constructed dialogues. A good listen.

Another solid addition to the series

Agent G is a gritty cyborg assassin series that doesn't fail to disappoint. Like pretty much all of CT's books, he jumps right into the action, wasting no time with mundane setups and backgrounds. G is finding out his employers weren't such great people after all, even for assassins, and has taken his skills elsewhere. Namely the govt. Talk about a lateral move at best. Now they've pitted him against his former friends and colleagues and all hell breaks loose. No biggie, it's just the fate of the free world at stake.

Great continuation of the series. If you like high-octane cybernetic murder machines, definitely give it a go.

Man or machine

I loved this book and thought it was a great continuation of book one, I would recommend that you start with book one and work your way through the adventure, you won't be disappointed. The book was packed full of wit, action and double crosses. I like the fact that you never know where the author is going to take the story at any given moment and with all the twists all you can do is hold on tight and enjoy the ride. This author is quickly making his way up my must listen to authors list because I have listened to several of his books (both agent G and the supervillainy series) and have found them all to be entertaining and action packed, with great characters. Even when they turn out to be working for the other side you can't help but still like them. Off to start book three. Yeah!!
Agent G has turned his back on his creators and having killed or converted his fellow letters. The assassin now turns his attention on to his old boss. Can he take them down when his new team has a mole working for the other side? And is his new employer any better than the old? All G wants is a normal life and his own memories to treasure before his time runs out. It's a shame that there are puppet masters pulling his strings in a different direction.
Jeffery kafer is an excellent choice for narrator as he does a brilliant job delivering the witty one lines that I have come to associate with a C.T. Phipps adventure.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
