Surviving isn't living, even for an Expendable. Mickey7's antimatter gambit paid off. He's out of the Expendable game and doing whatever else he can to help support the threatened colony on the ice world Niflheim. But the colony now desperately needs the one thing he doesn't want to give them: the antimatter in the bomb he claimed the alien creepers have. Without it, the colony won't survive the coming years. With it, the colony leader can finally get rid of Mickey7 for good.

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.

Mickey7 è un Sacrificabile: un dipendente ‘usa e getta’ di una spedizione umana inviata a colonizzare il mondo ghiacciato di Niflheim. Ogni volta che una missione diventa troppo pericolosa, l’equipaggio si rivolge a Mickey. Dopo la morte di una sua iterazione, un nuovo corpo viene rigenerato con la maggior parte dei ricordi intatti. Durante una missione esplorativa, Mickey7 viene dato per morto. Grazie all’aiuto inaspettato della vita aliena del posto, riesce a tornare alla base, solo per scoprire che il suo clone, Mickey8, è già stato creato.

Entre Seul sur Mars et Dark Matter, un thriller de science-fiction inventif et trépidant, bientôt adapté au cinéma par Bong Joon-ho (Parasite) !

Mickey7 est un Consommable : un employé jetable d'une expédition humaine envoyée sur Niflheim, un monde de glace, pour le coloniser. Dès qu'une mission paraît trop dangereuse - voire suicidaire -, l'équipage se tourne vers lui. À la mort d'une version, un nouveau corps est régénéré, sa mémoire pratiquement intacte.
