' 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...
