Whenever there's a mission that's too dangerous--even suicidal--the crew turns to Mickey. After one iteration dies, a new body is regenerated with most of his memories intact. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOn a routine scouting mission, Mickey7 goes missing and is presumed dead. By the time he returns to the colony base, his fate has been sealed. There's a new clone, Mickey8, reporting for Expendable duties. The idea of duplicate Expendables is universally loathed, and if caught, they face being recycled into protein to feed a hungry colony. Meanwhile, life on Niflheim is getting worse, and the native species are growing curious about their new neighbors, which has Commander Marshall very afraid. Ultimately, the survival of both lifeforms will come down to Mickey7. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e That is, if he can just keep from dying for good. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"The fun [in reading \u003ci\u003eMickey7\u003c\/i\u003e] is trying to keep up with Mr. Ashton's twists and turns, and the extra fun is that you never do.\" --\u003ci\u003eThe Wall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Sci-fi readers will be drawn in by the inventive premise and stick around for the plucky narrator.\" \u003ci\u003e--Publishers Weekly \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEdward Ashton is the author of the novels \u003ci\u003eThree Days in April \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe End of Ordinary, \u003c\/i\u003eas well as of short stories which have appeared in venues ranging from the newsletter of an Italian sausage company to \u003ci\u003eEscape Pod, Analog, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eFireside Fiction. \u003c\/i\u003eHe lives in upstate New York in a cabin in the woods (not \u003ci\u003ethat \u003c\/i\u003ecabin in the woods) with his wife, a variable number of daughters, and an adorably mopey dog named Max.
