Wracked by climate change, wars over dwindling water, and clone uprisings, civilization is disintegrating - and those wealthy enough to afford a life raft book passage on the Dormire, setting out for a fresh start among the stars. It's the 25th century, and Earth is a mess. This is the predicament facing Maria Arena and the other five crewmembers of the Dormire at the start of Six Wakes, the new novel by Mur Lafferty. Was it mass murder? Mass suicide? Or something far more complicated and sinister? As your ship plummets through interstellar space, off course and carrying thousands of hibernating colonists to the planet Artemis, you and your fellow clones take on a daunting task: solving the mystery of what happened to the six people from whom you were cloned.


You're a clone - and your original self, along with most of your crewmates, are dead. And the corpse that blood is coming from is.
