Michael Marshall on new novel The Intruders
Posted in: UKSFBN Talks To on 7th March 2007 by UKSFBN admin
British horror, science fiction and, latterly, serial killer thriller writer Michael Marshall (Smith)'s seventh full-length novel, The Intruders, [Amazon] will be published by Harper Collins on April 2nd. The book features all the elements of a classic Michael Marshall novel - a stone-cold killer, a desperate fight for survival, shoot-outs, pursuits, shadowy secret societies... you name it - and the novel plays on some of Marshall's favourite themes: the thin line between life and death, what makes us who we are as people, mental and social paranoia and decay.
