'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 on our own.
'Spares' it’s fiction. But only just…
“ Comic, cruel, twisted and surreal.”
EMPIRE
“Some books stretch the imagination.This one mugs it.”
DAVID BADDIEL
“Tense, exciting and at times very, very funny…He’s worth every penny.”
TIME OUT
“Witty, hard – edged and coruscatingly imaginative…Compellingly off – kilter.”
NEW SCIENTIST
“'Spares' blurs imaginative surrealism and hard – bitten horror with a storytelling skill that can only be described as pure genius.”
'VENUE'
“A compulsively readable melding of hardboiled narrative and hardware invention.”
