This isn’t the first story I’ve read where a group of characters wakes up from some unknown event, only to discover they’ve lost their memories, but it’s definitely the best. Not only is this a top-notch science fiction story about cloning, space travel and a group of people forging their way into the future, but it’s a damn fine “locked room” murder mystery as well. The entire story takes place on the generation spaceship Dormire, in very tight quarters, and revolves around seven key characters. Mur Lafferty, welcome to my “must read” author list! I had so much fun with this story, and there were so many twists and turns, secrets and lies, and characters who didn’t even know whether they were lying or not. This is one of those happy occurrences where the book was way better than I thought it would be. I loved the premise for Six Wakes when it first made its way onto my radar, but I had no idea what I was in for when I started reading. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. Thanks to Orbit Books for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
