“Black Technology has made murder a billion dollar industry.” The International Refugee Society has twenty-six cybernetically enhanced “Letters,” and for the right price, they’ll eliminate anyone. They’ve given up their families and their memories for ten years of service with the promise of a life of luxury awaiting them. Agent G is one of these “Letters,” but clues to his past are starting to emerge while he’s on a dangerous mission to infiltrate the Society’s most dangerous competitor. In the midst of all the violence, subterfuge, and deceit, he’ll need to keep his wits about him and trust sparingly. After all if an organization will kill for money, what would they do to keep the truth hidden?

5.0 out of 5 stars Science Fiction Espionage Thriller x Cyberpunk Trans-Humanism
Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2021

Agent G: Infiltrator by C. T. Phipps is a science fiction espionage thriller with underlying themes of cyberpunk trans-humanism. The book description reminds me of the Hitman franchise, but initially Agent G comes across as more of a cyborg James Bond than an Agent 47. For example, G states that he gets paid exorbitant amounts of money for his work, yet during his first mission his assistant and fancy gadgets seem to do much of the heavy lifting.

Not being a huge Bond fan, I was pleasantly surprised to find that this definitely isn’t a 007 clone. While there are plenty of Machiavellian machinations going on within the Society and lots of fancy technology at play, the meat of the story is thoroughly original, and quite a bit deeper than expected.

The narrative is a little heavy on exposition in the first couple of chapters, and I would have liked to see some of this info shown through story events rather than explained, but this also sets up enough background that the story can move quickly once the key elements are established.

My initial impression of Agent G was one of a callous and overly chatty assassin who blithely excuses his crimes by pointing to the Society’s brainwashing. Once the need for exposition is over, however, G begins to evolve into a guy who genuinely cares about the lives he’s touched.

The concept that humanity isn’t necessarily tied to the state of actually being human isn’t a new one, but it’s one I really enjoy seeing explored– and I think Infiltrator does so well. As Agent G learns more about his origins and is revealed to be less and less physically human, he simultaneously becomes more human in his concern for the friends and lovers he’s made at the Society.

While Infiltrator isn’t a warm and fuzzy story by any means, it’s definitely also not just another soulless exercise in high-impact violence. And speaking of that high-impact violence: it’s good.

The action becomes more hands-on as the story progresses (compared to the relatively bloodless hit in the opening chapter), and it’s well-written, gritty, visceral, and brutally fast paced. The narrative covers a lot of ground in a relatively short amount of time but the writing never comes across as rushed.

I enjoyed watching G evolve as a person while he unravels the mystery of his past and navigates the feud between the bloodthirsty Society and the equally-bloodthirsty-but-slightly-more-insane Carnevale. Agent G: Infiltrator is a gripping read, and I’ll definitely be picking up the sequel!

Final rating: 4.5 stars out of 5.

4.0 out of 5 stars a quick-paced spy novel full of gadgets and violence
Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2017
Agent G is an assassin with no name, just a letter; no past, just assignments. But he has dreams. One day when his ten years are served, he’s promised to get his memories and his former life back. That is if he can survive. Agent G works for a secret society that hires him out to kill high-profile targets. He lives a life of wealth and excitement, but questions haunt him. Who was he and could he have been something more than a hired killer.

G’s world is dangerous. Black technology has created super-beings with augmented strength, armor, and mental abilities. Just shooting a target is no longer enough. Carnavale, the brutal Italian crime family, wants to take over the assignation business. They have kidnapped the scientist who invented the mind-wipe technology. But they want more – the agents he has trained – including G.

The secret agent who loses his memory is not a new idea, but Phipps manages to put enough original ideas into his book to keep it fresh. G has a moral base which contradicts everything he does, yet does it anyway. The listener is ready to forgive his violence and blame the system and the corrupt institutions that have created it. The story is flippant, not taking itself too seriously, creating a mood of light satire behind the facade of violence. The technology is over-the-top versions of spy-craft, exploding pens, sub-vocal communications, super-strong androids and brain implants. It’s fun and irreverent.

The audiobook is performed by Jeffrey Kafer, whose voice is just right for the killer with a conscience. Sarcasm oozes through his voice and characterization of Agent G. If the listener can find any complaints, it would be that Mr. Kafer doesn’t differentiate the female voices enough to determine who is speaking at times. It is a minor issue and Kafer delivers an outstanding performance.

Agent G is a quick-paced spy novel full of gadgets and violence. It is lightly satirical and highly entertaining, short enough to listen in one go. The story mostly wraps up, but seems to leave the door open for a sequel. There is also a very nice twist at the end. Recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too much angst

The premise for the creation of the series, a super amalgamation of Bond, Rambo, Superman, Ironman to beat ' em all - fails because of the verbosity and endless soul searching and monologues to surpass Hamlet.
Why 3 stars? Well, rather a remarkable exploration of the concept of amalgation of test tube lab grown human bodies sans brains mated with some kind of organic computer with replaceable memory chips.
This interesting concept has been hashed. The construct becomes a super assassin with a conscience!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A fun sci-fi assassin thriller
Reviewed in Canada on April 30, 2018

The year is 2018. Assassins no longer wear snappy suits and use funky gadgets. Well, maybe a little. Now, they're cybernetically enhanced, both physically and mentally. Agent G is such an assassin. Having had all his memories wiped alongside such impediments as morality and empathy, G turns out to be a bloody good assassin. Five years into his required service, he starts to ask questions of his chosen career. Memories start to come back, although G isn't sure if they're real or implanted. When he's sent on a mission that could make or break him, G's world threatens to unravel. Can he discover his true identity, and can he save the day?

I like the author's style. He writes fast-paced, fun, action-driven plots, peppered with sarcastic humour and pop culture references abound. In this he takes you down a rabbit hole that would make Wonderland look normal. Have fun!

5.0 out of 5 stars Licence To Kill - Lots
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 29, 2018

Agent G is a cyber-enhanced Jason Bourne, an international assassin with a wiped memory. G does not trust anyone, least of all his shady employers, but they have the one thing he really wants: his memories back.

It's a brisk thriller in the James Bond mould, with plenty of fast cars, shootous, high-tech gadgets, exotic locations and beautiful women - except that, unusually, the female characters are just as kick-ass as their male counterparts, including Marissa, G's technical support/hacker, and gangster heiress Lucite (who happens to be a cyborg assassin herself).

The plot is twisty, starting with a betrayal inside G's organisation, and after that the double-crosses and double-agents pile up Nobody can be trusted...G cannot even trust himself, as he has reason to fear that he might not like what he finds out about this past.

It's not just crash-bang action though; there's a level of thought behind the story which is unusual for the genre. G is under no illusion that he is simply a good guy as he leaves a trail fo death and destruction, and there's a deep cynicism about politics (G seems to be something of a nihilist)., and moral ambiguity is everywhere.

Agent G:Infiltrator is good noisy fun, and would look great on the big screen -- though they'd probably cut out all the intelligent stuff...

5.0 out of 5 stars James Bond eat your heart out!
Reviewed in Australia on January 31, 2018

In some ways, Agent G is a book that is more than the sum of it's parts, and it's made up of a lot of great parts. Societies of international assassins, a main character struggling to recover his memory who kills people for a living and has a very, very deeply buried heart of gold, cyberpunk tech creating superhuman soldiers, Agent G has it all but it's the way that it's served up that makes all the difference.
The story twists and turns but it's smart and unpacks beautifully. You can actually feel the main character working to keep one step ahead of his enemies and turn them against each other. As always, C.T. Phipps delivers some stellar and unique characters that really leave their mark on the story. (Unfortunately, there are so many great ones some of them make a terrific impression only to be wiped out on the same page they're introduced, making you wish you could have more!) The explorations of "black technology" for any cyberpunk geek make the book worth the read on their own.
What ultimately ties it all together though is some incredible action right out of a Hollywood blockbuster and the dark humour that means even if you can't always empathise with such heartless characters you can laugh along with them. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cyber-tech espionage.

If you're a fan of the RPG 'Shadowrun' you'll likely get a kick out of reading this one.

I've read quite a few assassin orientated books recently and this is probably the best of them to date. Agents or 'Letters' are given the identities of the 26 Letters of the alphabet, G being the main protagonist of this book. He has all manner of jacked up body and mind implants that make him the perfect killer. Each of the Letters is conditioned not to remember their past life, so no conscience to get in the way of their assignments, and no family ties either.

Agent G decides throughout this book to pursue the truth about his own roots, however, and is horrified and disgusted in equal measure at what he finds out by the end of this book.

A good read this one, give it a try!
