None of the crew members has any memory of what happened. Talk about a powerful opening! The first chapter of this exhilarating sci-fi novel introduces us to the world of Six Wakes with a bang, as six clones wake up in their cloning vats… with their previous bodies, all brutally murdered, floating in zero gravity in front of them. And Maria wasn’t the only one to die recently… 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. That was also new before, when she had awakened as a new clone, her first memory was of how she died. It was not common to awaken in a cloning vat streaked with drying blood.Īt least, Maria Arena had never experienced it. A space adventure set on a lone ship where the clones of a murdered crew must find their murderer - before they kill again.
