[QUOTE="WayneLigon, post: 8999625, member: 3649"] Back to reading SF! I started off with Mickey 7 and it's sequel Antimatter Blues - it's been highly touted and there is a movie or show adaptation coming soon. I hope they get it right because this show absolutely will live and die with the 'voice' of Mickey. His personality carries the entire thing. Simple premise with a twist. They have brain-taping tech, so one person they always hire for a new colony is [I]The Expendable[/I], the dude who goes first into the unknown, tries the local edibles first, breathes the atmo first, etc. Then he dies horribly and they ressurect him from the colony recycling slurry. Mickey is The Expendable for his interstellar colony. He had nothing going on back home and also owed a ton of money to some rather unsavory people. People who demonstrated their displeasure at his debt so effectively that Mickey [I]volunteering[/I] for a position that is usually held by the most vicious criminals the planet can produce [I]was a good idea[/I].
