Mickey Barnes has a huge debt he owes to a bookmaker on Midgard and he needs a way off the planet and the only way is on the spaceship that his friend Berto is assigned to and the only problem is that there is only one vacancy left and no one ever volunteers for that role until Mickey did.

He signed up to be an expandable on a new colony on a different planet and his job is to be the person who does dangerous jobs where it could kill him and has done so six times already.  And then Mickey7 falls down a hole and his friend assumes he will die and recreates him as Mickey8, problem is he didn't die and there is now two versions of Mickey exist which is a problem.
