Description

In the town of Gainesville, Cooper Fox has a special place in people’s hearts. Since the car accident that wiped his memories, Cooper has been...a little foggy. Cooper doesn’t know how to do much, but one thing he instinctively seems to know about is strength training, and with his help, Gainesville High’s football team has just won the Mid-States final. With Cooper the hero of the hour, the whole town is getting ready to celebrate in style. 

When three strangers crash the party and decide to pick on the harmless-looking guy carrying a cooler full of sodas, they trigger something inside Cooper. Afterwards, the folks in Gainesville can never look at him in quite the same way. Is he really just a regular guy who suffered a brain injury in a car crash, or is he someone else? Or something else?  

As Cooper tries to come to terms with baffling new memories, he’s about to be plunged into a terrifying world of secret experiments and covert assassins that will test his new-found abilities to the limit.

Great story. Perfect performance. Interesting premise.

The premise drew me in. The storytelling and humor made it hard to put down. I laughed out loud more than a handful of times. It’s both a heartwarming and fascinating read about 21st century technology. This book far surpassed my expectations from the synopsis.

Give it a listen. You’ll be glad you did.

implausable

this story is written at a level for kids but has too much profanity to let kids listen.

Excellent!***** All the way!

I enjoyed the narration very much. Each character was developed in a way that I understood each one, there personalities and could almost picture them. Highly recommend and I hope that there is continuation like a book 2 maybe I don't know , I will have to search it out... if anyone knows perhaps you can leave a message here.🤔.

Unoriginal and Sophomoric

This take on the "Unknowingly a SuperSpy" trope isn't really worth ranking. Unlike Ludlum's Jason Bourne or Mars's Kent Steele (who get right to the action after "popping" their memory-wipe), Birmingham's Cooper Fox/Michael Garner spends the first third of the book undergoing a 'Flowers For Algernon'-like cognitive awakening while mysterious murderous figures (the "Triple Helix Corporation") scramble to react to his return to supratentorial normalcy..
The pacing is terrible [The novel eventually evolves into a fairly decent "Man On The Run" story (and includes a very cool ability in Fox to slow down the perception of time during combat situations), but it takes more than half of the story to get there].
On the good side: besides the excellent combat scenes, descriptions of tactics and tech are accurate enough to please fans of the Action-Thriller genre..
but the dialogue sounds forced, character motivations make no sense, and the mentally-retarded version of the Protagonist is straight-up groan-inducing. This book has the feel of fan-fiction (John Birmingham sometimes writes like a high-schooler).

Dan Bittner does his best with this story - reading emotively with passable diction, timbre, and cadence - but the clichéd dialogue in 'Sleeper Agent' would be difficult for anyone..
Also unfortunately, Bittner's casual "storytime" tone compounds the deficiencies in the writing, his British accent is clearly Australian (likely because the "Upper-crust British" villain continually uses the term "mate"🙄), and his rate of reading is legitimately terrible (speeding playback to 1.15X was necessary to render his narration tolerable).
Audible Studios took an amateurish effort and made it *worse* by miscasting the project.

I am grateful to Audible for offering this story for Free as part of the 'Plus' catalogue - and the 3.5/10 star offering was a reasonable diversion for a couple of quiet afternoons - but you would Not be justified in spending a Credit on it (even if you're a diehard spy-thriller reader)
