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.
