On a frozen world with hostile lifeforms, Mickey7's real trouble starts when he's mistaken for dead, and a new clone is activated.

    Mickey7

    Mickey7 is een Vervangbare, en maakt deel uit van een expeditie van ruimte kolonisten naar de ijsplaneet Niflheim. Hij heeft een zeer specifieke rol in het team: bij elke gevaarlijke klus met grote kans dat een expeditielid het niet zal overleven, moet Mickey7 in actie komen. Gaat hij dood, dan wordt hij opnieuw gereproduceerd met bijna al zijn herinneringen intact.Het is zeker geen droombaan, maar toen de allereerste Mickey het contract tekende had hij weinig opties. Schuldeisers zaten hem op de hielen en hij moest zo snel mogelijk het zonnestelsel verlaten.Nu, na zes keer sterven, heeft Mickey7 leren leven met de bijzondere arbeidsvoorwaarden. Hij maakt zich klaar voor een nieuwe missie, en het onvermijdelijke gebeurt: hij stort in een afgrond. Het duurt niet lang voordat Mickey8 paraat staat. Maar is Mickey7 wel echt dood? En als dat niet zo is, kunnen er twee Mickeys tegelijkertijd bestaan? Binnenkort verfilmd als MICKEY 17 door Bong Joon-ho (Parasite, Okja en Snowpiercer) en met Robert Pattinson in de hoofdrol als Mickey7

    Mickey Prime

    Mickey7 (inspiration for the film Mickey 17) is back in Edward Ashton's latest novel in which a plague on Niflheim forces Mickey to return to his old job as an expendable. Mickey Barnes is an ex-Expendable. For the past five years he's spent his time tending tomatoes and cleaning out rabbit hutches instead of mucking around inside active reactor cores and getting dissected by creepers. When a sudden, virulent plague strikes the fledgling human colony on Niflheim, though, he's forced to return to his old job. Mickey is pressed into duty as both a first responder and a lab rat, expected to die and be replaced as many times as necessary to find a cure. Funny thing, though. Despite the best efforts of the colony's medical team, Mickey seems to be the only person unable to contract the bug. As more and more colonists sicken and die and the colony spirals into panic, Command is forced to contemplate Reset-sterilizing the colony completely to eradicate the plague, then repopulating it with hundreds of stored embryos, to be raised under the watchful eye of a dozen freshly printed copies of Mickey Barnes. No matter how bad things get, Mickey can't let that happen. He has a daughter of his own now, and even if he has to die a hundred times in a hundred different ways, he's determined to find a way to make sure that she survives. It's a lot, but after all, Mickey's already died seven times. After that, how hard could this be?

    After the Fall

    Part alien invasion story, part buddy comedy, and part workplace satire, After The Fall by Edward Ashton, author of Mickey7 (inspiration for the film Mickey 17), asks an important question: would humans really make great pets?Humans must be silent. Humans must be obedient. Humans must be good. All his life, John has tried to live by those rules. Most days, it's not too difficult. A hundred and twenty years after The Fall, and a hundred years after the grays swept in to pick the last dregs of humanity out of the wreckage of a ruined world, John has found himself bonded to Martok Barden nee Black Hand, one of the "good" grays. Sure, Martok is broke, homeless, and borderline manic, but he's always treated John like an actual person, and sometimes like a friend. It's a better deal than most humans get. But when Martok puts John's bond up as collateral against an abandoned house in the woods that he hopes to turn into a wilderness retreat for wealthy grays, John learns that there are limits to Martok's friendship. Soon he finds himself caught between an underworld boss who thinks Martok is something that he very much is not, a girl who was raised by feral humans and has nothing but contempt for pets like John, and Martok himself, whose delusions of grandeur seem to be finally catching up with him. Also, not for nothing, something in the woods has been killing people. John has sixty days before Martok's loan comes due to unravel the mystery of how humans wound up holding the wrong end of the domestication stick and find a way to turn Martok's half-baked plans into profit enough to buy back his life, all while avoiding getting butchered by feral humans or having his head crushed by an angry gray. Easy peasy, right?

    Antimatter blues. Ritorno alla vita. Mickey7. Vol. 2

    Una sci-fi comedy incentrata sull'avventura e sulla sopravvivenza di un pianeta colonizzato, Antimatter Blues - Ritorno alla vita è l'atteso seguito di Mickey7, il romanzo che ha ispirato il film Mickey 17 diretto da Bong Joon Ho. Antimatter Blues - Ritorno alla vita di Edward Ashton è l'emozionante seguito di Mickey7, in cui un Sacrificabile è incaricato di esplorare nuovi territori abitabili per l'uomo. L'estate è arrivata su Niflheim. I licheni sono fioriti, creature simili a pipistrelli a sei ali cinguettano e, con sua sorpresa, Mickey Barnes è ancora vivo: quest'ultimo miracolo è dovuto quasi per intero al fatto che il comandante Marshall crede che gli striscianti, gli alieni nativi del pianeta, siano in possesso di una bomba ad antimateria e che Mickey sia l'unico motivo che li trattiene dall'usarla. Dopo aver rassegnato le sue dimissioni dal ruolo di Sacrificabile, Mickey ora lavora per il reparto Agricoltura e trascorre le sue giornate accudendo conigli. Tutto sommato, non è una brutta vita. Ma quanto potrà durare? Nonostante il clima mite e il verde che ricopre il pianeta, non manca molto all'inverno. Con le scorte di antimateria che alimentano la colonia prossime a esaurirsi, Marshall rivuole la sua bomba a ogni costo. Accettando di recuperarla Mickey rinuncerebbe all'unica cosa che gli ha risparmiato la forca, ma qualora si rifiutasse condannerebbe a morte l'intera colonia. Nel frattempo, gli striscianti non hanno la benché minima intenzione di consegnare l'ordigno senza averne qualcosa in cambio. Ecco che il destino di due specie è nuovamente nelle mani di Mickey, ma se questa volta qualcosa dovesse andare storto, per lui non ci sarebbe più alcuna possibilità di tornare in vita.
