About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Dying isn't any fun...but at least it's a living.

Mickey7 is an Expendable: a disposable employee on a human expedition sent to colonise the ice world Niflheim. 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.

Mickey signed on to escape from both bad debts and boredom on Midgard.

After six deaths, Mickey7 understands the terms of his deal...and why it was the only colonial position unfilled when he took it.

When he goes missing and is presumed dead at the hands of deadly indigenous creatures, Mickey8 reports for duty and their troubles really begin.

It's like Bobiverse and Murderbot had a child.

It's a really great story and I'm enjoying listen to it. And it's making a really important question about what's make us human.

I really enjoyed it

It’s a fun exploration of the ethics of cloning humans and contact with possibly sentient alien species.
Loved it, waiting for more booms from the author.

The hype was exaggerated.

Please take this for what it is: a review of a sci-fi novel from a fantasy and horror afficionado. With that said, I do feel like the hype that I'd heard about Mickey7 was greatly exaggerated.

It is by no means a bad book, it's more that it (really) wasn't all that which it'd been made out to be. It started of a lot more interesting than what would follow, I would personally have been a lot more interested in reading more about Mickey's (and Berto's, too) life before becoming an expandable.

Towards the ending (and I mean by quite a stretch) I kept thinking that the story was about to be over and thought over and over that "this is a strange sentence to end a book on, but there can't possibly be ANY 'story' left to tell to make a sequel even remotely possible, can there?"
And that pretty much sums it up for me: not enough of a story, not even to begin with.

Good Book

It wasn't mind blowing. The nerd in me loved all the historical tangents, it felt like scientific theories playing out. Can't wait to see how Bong will work with it.
