I think he does that to make Striper seem a bit different than other people
-- I haven't read Striper Assassin, but I did read Who Hunts The Hunter,
which also revolves around her. Come to think of it, that whole book is also
written in the present tense...
It takes a bit getting used to, I think :)

She thinks a bit simple, I think. She sees everything in black and white and
doesn't care about anything that doesn't affect her.
