This series delves into the limits of human resilience and identity through a perilous mission on an alien planet. The protagonist is a disposable, cloned worker who experiences repeated deaths to undertake tasks too dangerous for anyone else. As his identity splinters and a new clone emerges, he must confront not only the dangers of colonization but also his own multiplied selves. It's a compelling narrative of survival, memory, and what it means to be human under extreme duress.
Mickey7 is the mission Expendable. A disposable member of the crew whose job is to tackle life-threatening and suicidal missions, a new clone being made after each death. On a frozen world with hostile lifeforms, Mickey7's real trouble starts when he's mistaken for dead, and a new clone is activated. There's only one thing worse than being an Expendable, and that's being a duplicate.
Na Niflheim dorazilo léto. Lišejníky kvetou, šestikřídlá netopýří stvoření vesele štěbetají a Mickey Barnes je pořád ještě naživu, jakkoliv ho to samotného překvapuje. Je nyní pouze jedním z řadových kolonistů a místo toho, aby čistil jádro reaktoru, tráví celé dny čištěním králíkáren. Není to špatný život. Ale na jak dlouho? Teď sice ještě svítí sluníčko, ovšem zima se blíží. Antihmota, energetický zdroj kolonie, dochází. Aby přežili, vydává se Mickey na nebezpečnou cestu s cílem získat zpět antihmotovou bombu, která by zásoby energie doplnila. Hmyzáci mají ale svoje vlastní starosti a bomby se nehodlají vzdát jen tak pro nic za nic. Co bude ochoten obětovat, aby zajistil přežití lidstva? Román Trable s antihmotou je pokračováním knihy Mickey7. Kombinuje akci a nečekané zvraty, zkoumá témata přežití, identity a obětí, které jsme ochotni přinést pro vyšší dobro.
The thrilling follow-up to Mickey7, soon to be a major motion picture by Academy Award-winning director Bong Joon-Ho. Summer has come to Niflheim. The lichens are growing, the six-winged bat-things are chirping, and much to his own surprise, Mickey Barnes is still alive-that last part thanks almost entirely to the fact that Commander Marshall believes that the colony's creeper neighbors are holding an antimatter bomb, and that Mickey is the only one who's keeping them from using it. Mickey's just another colonist now. Instead of cleaning out the reactor core, he spends his time these days cleaning out the rabbit hutches. It's not a bad life. It's not going to last. It may be sunny now, but winter is coming. The antimatter that fuels the colony is running low, and Marshall wants his bomb back. If Mickey agrees to retrieve it, he'll be giving up the only thing that's kept his head off of the chopping block. If he refuses, he might doom the entire colony. Meanwhile, the creepers have their own worries, and they're not going to surrender the bomb without getting something in return. Once again, Mickey finds the fate of two species resting in his hands. If something goes wrong this time, though, he won't be coming back.
