Explore the books that have made the jump from print to the big and small screen.  This month we are reading Mickey7 by Edward Ashton.  

Space colonist Mickey Barnes, a.k.a. Mickey7, tries to survive in a beachhead colony on an alien world. The job he reluctantly signed up for is to be "expendable", undertaking all of the most dangerous tasks necessary for a mission to colonize the ice world Niflheim. When one Mickey dies, another is cloned in his place with most of his memories intact, but at significant cost to the colony. Mickey's survival difficulties mount as the colony struggles for resources, native life forms become increasingly threatening, and circumstances result in the accidental creation of two Mickeys.

A film adaptation titled Mickey 17 starring Robert Pattinson and directed by Bong Joon-ho is set to be released in April 2025.
