Near Enemy is the second installment in the Spademan series written by Adam Sternbergh. In Sternbergh latest book, the main character Spademan, a contract killer is sent to kill a virtual reality avatar. While on his quest, Spademan gets into all sorts of trouble and mishaps.
Although the plot was rather interesting and suspenseful, and characters had quite good development, Sternbergh's writing style of short sentence fragments and dialogue without quotations is a definite turn-off. While some people may find this style acceptable, I don't think this novel will resonate with the wider public. Therefore, I don't recommend this book to the general reader.
