Trouble with antimatter
The fate of a human colony on a planet full of insects is once again in the hands of the Traitor!
It's summer on Niflheim. Mickey Barnes has settled in well over the last two years in the body with serial number seven and is now one of the regular colonists. Instead of a reactor, he cleans only rabbit hutches, and in his cubicle in the expanding dome he has moved in a sexy badass named Nasha, who has found a crush on the eternal outsider. But winter is coming and the settlers' only hope lies in obtaining an antimatter bomb to replenish their much-needed energy supplies. However, the insectoids possess it, and therefore there is no choice but to send a single messenger capable of reasoning with this species. And so Mickey7, accompanied by his beloved Nasha, best friend Bert, a few brave volunteers and a devious insect interpreter, sets out on a dangerous mission with a very uncertain ending. The expedition stumbles into a cold war between two giant alien nests, and is reaffirmed in their belief that this distant world is not good for the human species...
The sequel to the black-humor sci-fi story about a man who prints his own copies. This time, however, Mickey7 will have to make do with his old body and an unexpected will to survive.
