Our view
“Antimatter Blues” picks up the “Mickey7” story two years on and plays it as a dark, tense adventure among aliens. Some readers miss what drew them to the first book, its interest in how a planet is colonised and in what identity means for a duplicate, and find the plot’s errands repetitive and the characters alike in their sarcasm. It is the second of three volumes and builds directly on the first.
