Book Review By Steve
The Widowmaker Unleashed by Mike Resnick

The Widowmaker is an old man with a terrible disease; he's so sick that they have him frozen.
But he's running out of money so his executors clone him, and send the clone
out on a bounty hunting job to raise cash. Unfortunately, the clone has no
life experience, and his naivite can be fatal.
