The events unfold in the distant future. Earthlings send a colonization expedition to the inhospitable planet Niflheim, where the icy climate and many dangers reign. 39-year-old Mickey Barnes, a former historian, finds himself in this team as a “consumable” – a volunteer who agreed to repeated death for the sake of a common cause. Due to the depreciation of his profession and financial debts on his home world, he considered this dubious position his only chance to start life anew. The essence of the work is simple and terrifying at the same time: every time Mickey dies, his memory is downloaded into a new cloned body to continue the mission. After six deaths, Mickey7 already fully understands the terms of the deal and why this vacancy was the last one for which there was a candidate.
