About this listen

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 colonize 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.

The performance is good but has a real comedic bent which completely influences how you feel about the book.
I get the feeling the author means for the main character to be a likeable idiot but the reader makes him a bit too happy go lucky. similarly the chief character comes across too comedically "authoritarian". gives the whole book an air of a sitcom instead of a space drama.
this massively affects what you take from story. parts which are meant to sound gruesome and horrible just come across like humor.

the story is good enough to make me want to buy the book as I know reading it myself will give it a completely different mood.
story itself is quite basic and missing some intrigue to make it feel special.
I actually think it will make a better movie than a book as thete is little else happening beyond the superficial.

the actual plot is very limited and they spend an awful lot of time giving back story too many things which don't really end up paying off in any great way.
overall it's ok but nothing special. I think it says it all when the most interesting ideas are the kind that will first spring to the minds of a typical teenage cinema goer.
