"A space adventure set on a lone ship where the clones of a murdered crew must find their murderer -- before they kill again. It was not common to awaken in a cloning vat streaked with drying blood. At least, Maria Arena had never experienced it. She had no memory of how she died. That was also new; before, when she had awakened as a new clone, her first memory was of how she died. Maria's vat was in the front of six vats, each one holding the clone of a crew member of the starship Dormire, each clone waiting for its previous incarnation to die so it could awaken. And Maria wasn't the only one to die recently..."--
A solid, fun, page-turning sci fi mystery. If you go looking for plot holes and scientific shortcomings you'll undoubtedly find them, but I enjoyed the book enough not to go looking.
I had some annoyances with how the fictional science worked. Some things seem to break from the characters' understandings of their universe, but also seem to be probably never possible in our universe.
One of those things came towards the end and was critical to resolving the plot.
The book was still very entertaining though. It had me turning pages and I'd probably read a sequel.
