About the Book
Talking fridges, human clone farms, flying shopping malls – we must be in the Michael Marshall Smith zone. A world all too close to our own…
Spares – human clones, the ultimate health insurance. An eye for an eye – but some people are doing all the taking.
Spares – the story of Jack Randall: burnt-out, dropped out, and way overdrawn at the luck bank. But as caretaker on a Spares Farm, he still has a choice, and it might make a difference…if he can run fast enough.
Spares – a breathless race through strange, disturbing territories in a world all too close to our own.
Spares – it’s fiction. But only just…
