This is a very good sci fi read. The book follows the main character who is a miner that works in space. He crashes then he needs to save himself, as in the data of himself, so he can be cloned later. The book tackles the idea of is a clone really the same person. The book is well written and the characters are believable. I would read more by this author and I recommend the novella highly as an enjoyable and thoughtful read.
This book was refreshingly great. It was more entertaining than many award winning blockbusters from famous authors that I've read recently. A clever story with quick action that kept me turning the pages, I only wish there were more of them.
