Summary
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.

Didn't land the finish.
Ending was a little bit flat but everything leading up to it was really interesting.

Sci fi for beginners
Often I've given up on sci-fi because the books I've read have been overly complex and difficult to grasp. So when I heard about this, I was intrigued and when a twist of gate brought me into another bookstore, I decided to give it a go. And I do not regret - it's funny and easy-going while also adding some serious thought-experiments to the mix. Now and the it slowed down and got lost on its own premise, but the audiobook really heightened the experience.

Awful & Awesome
This book hits mediocre rating not because of its mediocrity but because it bothe succeeds and fails at the same time.
Awful - poor character development, rushed storylines and some odd decisions by the author really dragged down what could've been a superb read.
Awesome - wonderfully thought out history of humans in the far reaching future, superb performance and superb inclusion of a range of future science applications overides the awful elements to make it a worthy read.
All in all it certainly deserves a 3 star rating, not 2 or even a theoretical 2.5, because it is entertaining. If the story was extended a bit and the characters more thought out (seriously, the major from this book was comically ridiculous) then it could've easily been a 4 star. I have to give a nod to the author though as his ideas are fantastic.

Great concept
Lack of character development. The overall story concept is a great update on clone technology. This could have been a great sci fi story, it's still very good.

The Multiple Man Can
I loved this story and it didn't even matter that I hadn't listen to Mickey 1 through 6.

Would make a splendid sci fi movie!
The story was pretty good, it is very innovative and quite unique, the narration was excellent. It would make the perfect sci-fi movie!

Great ideas and imagination
I really novel idea which is full of creativity and allows the reader to build their imagination around this concept of having more than one person as a duplicate. The narration was good and kept me engaged.

Amusing and Clever
This is a well thought out sci-fi story with likeable characters, a well conceived plot and a dry sense of humour. Certainly one to try if that sounds like your thing.

Fun story but nothing original
I had higher expectations with this book, performance was good, and high quality. But the story felt like a collection of scifi ideas and lacked a significant build up.

Highly entertaining Sci-fi romp
This is an excellent story. The narrators are incredible. Funny, weird and unpredictable. Recommended listening.
