Mickey Prime

The latest novel in the Mickey7 series, the inspiration behind the Bong Joon Ho film Mickey 17, starring Robert Pattinson and Naomi Ackie Mickey Barnes is an ex-Expendable. For the past five years he's spent his time at peace 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, 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. 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?
