About this deal

At first, this was an easy answer but actually as I read on and really thought about the ethics of his existance, his rights as an expendable, it was a little more tricky. So, meet Mickey7…the seventh reiteration of the same person, but no mere clone, he retains all the memories of his previous forms, he just gets reprinted, over and over again. Since neither one’s to die and they’re sure one of them will eventually get killed anyway, they decide to split their calorie allowance and keep the whole thing a secret, but doing so in a small base in the middle of a frozen planet where barely 200 people live, and while dating someone, is easier said than done. I was reminded of Murderbot a little when I first read the description of this book, because both lead characters are unlike these they live and work with, and they are expected to do the distasteful and dangerous work of space colonization. Edward Ashton keeps it all grounded via a protagonist who experiences the wonders of interstellar travel and alien contact while literally having the worst job in the universe.

Mickey7 by Edward Ashton is light-hearted sci-fi romp, with space colonization, alien first contact, and even cloning themes to boot. The cover promises that the book is, "Soon To Be A Major Motion Picture" (why are books never made into minor motion pictures?

Aceptó convertirse en un Prescindible, un trabajo que aceptó para poder escapar de su hogar donde estaba hasta el cuello de deudas. A lot of science fiction starts with wanting to tell a story about a great technical idea and then put some cardboard characters around this idea to illustrate it. A wildly entertaining mix of action and big ideas peppered with humor and a bizarre love story, this novel is proof that, when done right, science fiction can be one of the most entertaining genres out there. Cuando se está entrenando para su nuevo trabajo, le presentan a “El Barco de Teseo”; la idea de que Teseo recorrió el mundo en un barco de madera y en el camino reemplazó cada tabla y cada clavo.

Una colonia fallida sobre la que lee Mickey se llama Roanoke, en honor al fallido asentamiento de los ingleses en América del Norte. But the announcement that just came out, where they confirmed that he's on board and Robert Pattinson is on board, I found out because my agent texted me the press release. Needless to say, it was quite the breath of fresh air, to have a book about human settlers on a faraway planet, but the main conflict isn’t at all what you’d expect.What follows in a wildly entertaining, hilarious, action-packed story about a man and himself trying to keep it together while keeping a huge secret in a very small place. Many of the books on the Goodreads Science Fiction Nominated Books I have read, and are on my favorite list, and it was such a hard choice! The book is really too elaborate to describe as a mere clone comedy, though it did remind me of that recent blink and miss it Paul Rudd tv show where he also found himself sharing life with a clone, after a snafu. But this was the one that had humor, great science fiction, action, so much wit, twists, touching moments, and so much more!
