Book description
Okay, so I just devoured Mickey7 as an audiobook, and wow-this is the kind of story that sticks with you long after you hit pause. Seriously, it's the perfect listen for when you want something smart but not a slog. Edward Ashton dropped a total gem here, and the narrator? Absolute magic. You can feel the icy wind of Niflheim in your bones, hear the crunch of snow underfoot, and feel Mickey's panic when he realizes he's the only one who can save everyone... but he's also the only one who might get killed again.
Let's be real: the concept is wild. Mickey's job? "Expendable." Like, literally. When a mission's too dangerous? They send Mickey. Dies? Boom, new clone with his memories. Six deaths in, he's got the deal down: "Dying isn't any fun... but at least it's a living." And then bam-he goes missing, comes back helped by the natives, and finds out there's already a new Mickey (Mickey8) doing his job. Now there are two of him, and only one can stay. If he talks, one goes to the recycler. If he doesn't? They both get erased. Talk about a life-or-death wait, what? moment.
The audiobook? Chef's kiss. The narrator nails Mickey's exhaustion, the dread, the dry humor ("This job's got zero retirement plan"), and the sheer weirdness of living on a planet where the air makes you cough and the food's basically hope. You hear the tension in every pause, the way Mickey's voice cracks when he's cornered, and the way the planet itself feels like a character-cold, beautiful, and utterly unforgiving. Plus, the way they drop hints about the natives? Chills. You're so invested in whether they'll get it right before everything collapses.
And the stakes? Real. The colony's crumbling, food's gone, terraforming's a mess, and the commander's terrified of the locals. But here's the thing: Mickey isn't some hero. He's just trying not to die for real this time. And honestly? That's what makes it so gripping. You're rooting for him to outsmart the system, not save the world-though, yeah, he kinda does. The way it all comes together? Mind-blowing. You'll be muttering "Wait, what?" out loud and then immediately hitting "play again" for the scene you missed.
If you love sci-fi that's got heart, brains, and a killer twist? Mickey7 is your new obsession. It's not just a book-it's a vibe, a panic, a must-listen. Trust me, you'll be telling your friends, "You gotta hear this one." Seriously, it's the kind of audiobook that makes you forget you're walking to the grocery store because you're just so hooked. Don't sleep on it. You owe it to yourself.

Great for listening to lectures and educational content. Very useful! I’ve been using ListenBook for months, and it’s been a fantastic experience.

The narrator’s voice was pleasant, though some parts felt a bit rushed. The story had its moments, but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it over similar titles in the genre.
