This sequel to last year's Mickey 7 continues the saga of Mickey Barnes, the "Expendable" of Niflheim Colony. It explores the intelligent alien inhabitants of the planet and turns into a nail-biting thriller.

This alternate history steampunk science fiction western (now there's a mouthful) that has a retro pulp feel to it. I wasn't sure if I would like it, but it's an engaging story.
