Book Description

Mickey7 follows Mickey Barnes, an “Expendable” on a human mission to colonize an icy alien planet. Tasked with the most dangerous jobs, Mickey is repeatedly killed and regenerated, retaining most of his memories each time. When Mickey 7 is mistakenly declared dead and replaced by Mickey 8, the existence of two versions of the same person threatens the rigid rules of the colony. Darkly funny and thought-provoking, the novel explores identity, survival, and what it truly means to be disposable.
