Synopsis
After two years on an isolated island, Pugh and Martin looked forward to seeing another human face--any face after the boredom and loneliness of mining a dead world by themselves. When the relief team finally arrives, Martin and Pugh were startled to meet the same face...repeated ten times. The ten-clone performed their tasks better and faster than any team of "singletons" could. What Martin and Pugh hadn't counted on was the nature of the clone. The clone shared everything among themselves and needed no one, including Martin and Pugh. Or so they thought. -Back cover.
