Critical Acclaim for Michael Marshall Smith and

SPARES

“No wonder Hollywood’s DreamWorks SKG has snapped up the film rights. This darkly atmospheric sci-fi thriller, long on technological wizardry and futuristic grotesqueries, makes excellent fodder for the big screen…. In his American debut novel, Smith masterfully moves the whodunnit toward the future, opening up refreshing vistas for a genre rooted in the present.”

People

“Coma

meets

Blade Runner

in this future noir thriller, a compulsively readable melding of hardboiled narrative and hardware invention…. Both a disconcerting portrait of a future that might be, and a poignant study of one man’s fight to resist it, this novel augurs a promising future of another sort for its author.”
