From the back cover: "After two years on an isolated plaet, 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 arrived, 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. Whatrtin and Pugh hadn't counted on was the self-contained nature of the clone. The clone shared everything among themselves and needed no one, including Martin and Pugh. Or so they thought." Originally published in Playboy in 1969, republished in a new version 1975.

Het sets out to stop this final blasphemy, but in the process discovers that the boundaries between what's human and what's alien are more blurred than he imagined." Copyright of story 1986.
