Description
Soon to be a major motion picture by Academy Award-winning director Bong Joon Ho.
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 colonize 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.

Reviews / Votes
"Mickey 7 is a unique blend of thought-provoking sci-fi concepts, farcical relationship drama and exotic body horror." -- David Wong, New York Times bestselling author "Mickey 7 is a mind-bending and powerful exploration of identity." -- Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of RAGE and INK "I loved Mickey 7-a smart, breezy SF novel that doubles as a pitch-black comedy of errors." -- Dexter Palmer, critically acclaimed author of Version Control "Fun, thoughtful, and immensely personable, Mickey7 is a brisk, spirited sci-fi romp with alien intelligences, extra lives, and a little romance, too. Hugely enjoyable." -- Max Barry, author of Providence "Andy Weir, watch out!" -- Stephen Baxter "Excellent" -- The FT "Intelligent, heartfelt and very funny" -- SciFiNow "Leaves the audience gasping" -- The TimesMore details
