Publisher's Summary
The Taut, Unflinching New Thriller from Adam Sternbergh, Author of the
Critically-Acclaimed Shovel Ready
New York is toxic - decimated by a dirty bomb years ago. The limnosphere
is a virtual safe haven - if you're rich enough to buy in. Spademan
is a hit man - box-cutter at the ready.
His latest job is to snuff out Lesser, a lowlife lurking around other
people's fantasies. As Spademan is about to close the deal, Lesser comes
back from the limn with a wild claim: terrorists are planning to attack
New York. Again. This time from the inside out.
The warning sends Spademan down a dark path full of unsavory characters
and startling revelations. A shadowy political fixer tells him of a
long-running power struggle that goes all the way to City Hall. A brilliant
Egyptian radical brings Spademan to the mysterious far-reaches of the
limn. And a beautiful nurse holds the secret to what, and who, is behind
these attacks - and she seems to want to help Spademan stop them. But
he works best alone. Or so he thinks.
Spademan has always had his share of enemies, but now they're coming
at him from all sides and it's impossible to know whom to trust. To
stay sharp, his only option might be the one thing he swore he'd never
do again.
What the Critics Say
"Compelling... Intellectually beguiling... The fight scenes in Near
Enemy blend the operatic elegance of Bruce Lee in flight with comic-book-inspired
mayhem... Popular fiction that engages one's heart, mind, and adrenaline
the way the Spademan novels do is something to be savored." (Booklist)
"[A] solid sequel. . . . Sternbergh laces his second cyberpunk voyage
with dark humor and eccentric characters." (Publishers Weekly)
city fallen on hard times will strike a chord with fans of classic noir
as well as readers who like dystopian sf or thrillers with a cyberpunk
flavor." (Library Journal)
