It’s been one long day for Lisa and her headache is living proof of it. Most of it she blamed on the full moon outside. Things always got crazy this time of the month, but this month was exceptional. She needed sleep bad and only hoped the nightmares that haunted her would leave her alone for at least one night. They don’t. She wakes up as usual screaming only to find out that her nightmare has just begun, because she’s not alone in her room. One man has been gruesomely tortured to death in a ritualistic killing. An entire police precinct has been reconstructed down to the smallest detail in an abandoned warehouse and a mysterious stranger known only as Flint seems to be the cause of it all. It’s a case that is fast turning into one big headache for Lisa Tauranto a detective for the NYPD, but it gets much worse when her past, that she’s tried so hard to bury, rises up to engulf her in its golden grip once again. Lisa is ripped from the existence that she so pain stakingly built for herself into a mixed up world of intrigue, where nothing is as it seems. It’s a fight to survive and to protect what she is sworn to, but will love conquer all? Will she betray her oath to be happy? Does she even have a choice anymore or does a several thousand year old mystery hold enough weight in treasure to drag her down with it? Everyone wants her dead, everyone that is but for one man who is the cause of all her upheaval in the first place. He’s an agent working for someone, but she doesn’t know who. She only hopes he’s as good as his kisses make her believe him to be.

Review

Explosions, fabulous wealth, psychopathic killers, exotic locations, murder, betrayal, and romance, all make Agent With A History one heck of a wild ride.

Non-stop action and adventure that will keep both men and women glued to their e-readers. Guy Stanton III has penned a story that both genders can read and enjoy.
I started expecting to work on it over the weekend, I wound up finishing it in one day.

In many ways I was reminded of Indiana Jones but with an element of faith added into the adventure. I think one of the better aspects of the story is that it not only reads much like an adventure movie but it also conjured up that reader's mental movie-screen.

Page-turning, thrill-a-minute reading without all of the garbage usually slipped into the genre. If you love those over-the-top adventure films, you know the ones, chases, agents and guys you don't know what side they are on, terrorists, bombs in cases, secrets taken the grave, beautiful women and handsome-but-dangerous men, well Agent With A History just might be the story for you.
One thing I will note is that there is some adult content, not explicit, but I probably wouldn't suggest it for kids.

Action-packed adventure is waiting for you on the digital page . . .

About the Author

I'm a dreamer, a poet, a lover, a husband, a father, and a man of God. I'm inspired by what I've seen and what I've read, but what I create with my words is where I dream. I pray for inspiration, and I enjoy what I have written just as I hope that others will as well. I'm a quiet man on the outside, but writing has become the playground of my soul to express itself in the grandeur of the created worlds and tales that I have been fortunate enough to dream of. The best way to find out more about me is to read my books. I write from the heart and I express both my shortcomings and my triumphs. I like to think of my writing as 'Reality Fiction'. I tell it like I see it. Life is short and the troubles many, but with faith in Jesus Christ all things have become possible to me. I may write 'make believe', but I strive to live out what I write. I enjoy my work and I hope you do too. Have a blessed time reading my imaginative thoughts.

Hello Dear Reader,

Welcome to the world of exciting fiction that I have been blessed to write. I write in many different genres (sometimes within the same book) with an overall Gospel related theme running throughout. Some of what I write I draw from personal experiences and some from my God given ability to empathize. In any regard I write to educate the soul, fascinate the mind, and guide the flesh. Please do let me know how I succeed or don't succeed in doing those things. I welcome feedback from my readers and fans unconditionally.

Know this however; I do not write the stories I do to please people. There are story lines I write that will no doubt trigger some and make others angry. The purpose of my writing is to meaningfully relate truth, sometimes often hidden ones and to do that means I will offend at least someone. My goal is not to become wealthy as an author, by writing what people supposedly want. I do not say these things to warn you off of my stories, but rather to give you a heads up that what I write is unique and perhaps very different than anything else you may have ever read. So give my work a try and see if you like my flavor of tea. I always attempt to keep several of my books available for free on this platform so it costs you nothing to sample the wares so to speak. That said free review copies of any of my literary works are available to those who reach out and ask for them for the purpose of an honest review.

Have a blessed time reading my imaginative and sometimes highly speculative thoughts,

Guy S. Stanton, III

It’s been one long day for Lisa and her headache is living proof of it. Most of it she blamed on the full moon outside. Things always got crazy this time of the month, but this month was exceptional. She needed sleep bad and only hoped the nightmares that haunted her would leave her alone for at least one night. They don’t. She wakes up as usual screaming only to find out that her nightmare has just begun, because she’s not alone in her room.

Agent with a History was interesting and fast-paced. It was a quick read, and kept me on the edge of my seat.

Characters

The characters were well done. They had believable back stories that motivated their actions. The protagonists were lovable, yet still flawed, and the antagonists were purely evil, but I still pitied them.

Plot

The plot was mildly predictable, but I was still interested in seeing the story play out. It was a wonderful idea, but there were several plot points from the beginning that were never resolved. They were just there to get the character from point A to point B. I thought they could have been tied into the rest of the story better, or just left out. Other than that, I liked it.

Overall thoughts

There were some really neat and original elements to the book, such as 'The Queen's Dance' that Solomon composed for the Queen of Sheba. I thoroughly enjoyed the book, especially the elements of history woven through it.

Would I recommend it? Yes, to ages 15+
Would I let my kids read it? Yes, but there is some mildly mature material that I don't think young children should read
Would I read the other books in the series? Yes, I'm excited to find out more about the characters!

Overall Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest review.

"Agent with a History" is a compelling, fast-paced novel combining the best of various genres including mystery, action/adventure, and a bit of folklore and history. Flint is focused on saving certain groups of people by destroying a treasure that would give some organizations the wealth they need to carry out those plans while at the same time saving the woman he's fallen in love with. Guy Stanton does a great job of developing the plot and basing it on Biblical history. The only part of the character development that left me in the dark was that Mr. Stanton never mentions a specific reason why Flint has taken on this type of mission or any background information about what appears to be a loosely bound organization of fellow agents. Without this information, I can't stop thinking about these men and women as just another group of vigilantes who create their own moral values and play God by deciding who lives and dies based on their own ideas of justice. - Sheila Rae Myers, Author

Well to say I enjoyed this book would be an understatement! I devoured it! At first I wasn't sure where this book was going but it was intriguing enough to keep my interest till it exploded into a Indiana Jones meets Tomb Raider meets Lindsay Boxer in Women's Murder Club!! I absolutely loved the hero "Flint". The heroine, Lisa, is strong & brave but sensitive enough to have a crying spurt now & then. I loved all the history & that it was explained & made sense unlike some books that never tell you the why, how or anything in between. I also liked that there were still secrets that no doubt will be explained in the subsequent books to come in this series. And the ending......loved the twist on their relationship!! And a huge plus....no foul language, no embarrassing sex scenes & even a little sprinkle of getting to know GOD personally!! Cannot wait to dive into next book in this series! And cannot recommend this book enough....so get a copy & start enjoying! 5*****

When this author contacted me, I was intrigued when he mentioned that he features a strong Christian standpoint in his books and there would be no explicit sex scenes or foul language. I was curious to see if he would deliver. I am happy to say that he does--there is some mature content but nothing that is explicit.

Lisa Tauranto is a detective who starts working a case that ends up being very personal for her. She becomes involved with a man she knows as Flint and they are attracted to each other. She's not quite sure if she can trust him, though. As the story progresses, we learn more about Lisa's past and the secret she must go to great lengths to keep hidden.

I liked this story from the beginning. Towards the middle, as we started to learn more about Lisa, I got to the point where I didn't want to put it down. There were plenty of twists and turns and I wasn't sure who to trust and what the motives of some people were. Including Flint. I liked him and wanted him to be good but wasn't sure. I enjoyed their banter and relationship which is why I was hopeful it would all work out in the end.

The ending is satisfying but I feel like there's still much to learn about Flint. There are currently six books in this series and I'm not sure if Flint is in more of them but I hope he is. I look forward to reading more so I can find out!

I received a copy of this book to review. My opinion is 100% my own.

Wow! This book was griping to the end! It kept me turning pages guessing what was going to happen next. I loved the way he put real life situations and faith together, both in the present and the past and brought them to life. When I came to the end of the book I was already reflecting back on the whole story...with a smile on my face! I highly recommend this book! Well done, thank you Mr. Stanton!

Great writer. With a background story which gives an interest which grows my knowledge of the people, careers, places and situations i know so little about, as well as the enjoyment of knowing how great relationships come together with the right people, under unusual situations.

So fast-paced it makes your head spin. Lovable characters who sometimes play on both sides of the fence (or at least so it seems). The theories in there will blow your mind. I enjoyed every minute of this read.

Mix Indiana Jones with James Bond, put a girl like Lara Croft by his side and don't forget to let him be a christian. This man is a mystery (that's not solved in the end) and the story is outrageous unbelievable - but's real fun!
