About the work

Mickey7

Mickey Barnes signs on as the Expendable of a colony mission to the ice world Niflheim, the crew member sent on fatal jobs and reprinted with his memories each time he dies. When Mickey7 survives a mission everyone thought had killed him, he comes home to find Mickey8 already printed, and two copies are a crime.
