 Mickey 7 should no longer exist. Mickey 8 should have replaced him, but Mickey 7 didn't die.

Mickey 7 is an expendable. He does really dangerous jobs, because his DNA can be used to create new versions of himself. He has in fact died 6 times. When 7 finds himself in trouble he lets them know he won't make it and they leave him to die and create Mickey 8. However, Mickey 7 decides he doesn't want to die, he wants to live, so he does. Problem is it is illegal to have more than one version of yourself so Mickey 7 has to not exist.

Mickey 7 and Mickey 8 come up with a plan to help them both survive. They make a lot of errors in the first 2 days and it doesn't go well. When their girlfriend finds out there are 2 of them she is very happy. There isn't much to do on a small ship...

This book was very funny. The situations that Mickey got himself into and out of were wild, yet plausible if you're not looking too close at the science.
