Audible Editor Reviews
Editors Select, January 2014 - I was initially drawn into this book
by its title and grim, gritty cover, but I was even more excited to
learn the plot. The story is set in a post-apocalyptic New York City
- where the young and poor live in camps in the park, while the rich
retreat to an elaborate virtual reality -- and tells the story of Spademan,
evangelist. At times the story reminded me of both Chuck Palahniuk and
Philip K. Dick, which is a compliment in my book! Debut author Adam
Sternbergh (a writer for New York Magazine) has written a witty, dark,
and compelling novel that will appeal to fans of dystopian fiction or
suspense. -- Sam, Audible Editor
Publisher's Summary
The futuristic hardboiled noir that Lauren Beukes calls "sharp as a
paper-cut" about a garbage man turned kill-for-hire.
Spademan used to be a garbage man. That was before the dirty bomb hit
Times Square, before his wife was killed, and before the city became
a blown-out shell of its former self. Now he's a hitman.
In a near-future New York City split between those who are wealthy enough
to "tap in" to a sophisticated virtual reality, and those who are left
to fend for themselves in the ravaged streets, Spademan chose the streets.
His new job is not that different from his old one: waste disposal is
waste disposal. He doesn't ask questions, he works quickly, and he's
handy with a box cutter. But when his latest client hires him to kill
the daughter of a powerful evangelist, his unadorned life is upended:
his mark has a shocking secret and his client has a sordid agenda far
beyond a simple kill. Spademan must navigate between these two worlds
- the wasteland reality and the slick fantasy - to finish his job, clear
his conscience, and make sure he's not the one who winds up in the ground.
Adam Sternbergh has written a dynamite debut: gritty, violent, funny,
riveting, tender, and brilliant.
