The Two Jasons was the ninth full length novel published by Big Finish Productions as part of their Big Finish Bernice Summerfield series. It was written by Dave Stone.
Publisher's summary
"Oh bloody hell," she snapped. "Listen: me no wantee good time jig-jig all same, okay?"
When Bernice Summerfield first met Jason Kane, she failed to spot his many fine qualities and assets. Over the course of many subsequent adventures, including marriage and divorce, she continued not to see them...
"You're not Jason," she said. "Who the hell are you?"
When Bernice Summerfield first met Jason Kane 2, he was disguised as a critic of the work of Jason Kane. Benny saw through his false moustache and literary pretensions, and had him and his other clones expelled into space, there to make their own fortunes. One Jason Kane was, she felt, rather more than enough.
Now something is astir in the universe, a plot that threatens Benny and all she holds dear. If she stands any chance at all, she needs all the Jason Kanes she can get...
Plot
Learning from her psionix that Jason is in danger, Mira travels to a space station in the Catan Nebula and instead finds two of his three short-term clones created as part of a scam, the third having died after attempting to access memories which the original had not granted to them. The surviving clones, 2-Jason and 3-Jason, then went ahead with purchasing permanent bodies for themselves, but 3-Jason's mind has been frozen at the mental age of eleven to help him deal with the change more easily.
