À propos de cet audio

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....

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Six Wakes is [Mur Lafferty's] breakout book."—Cory Doctorow

"This is one of the cleverest and most exciting murder mysteries I have ever read. The confined space of the colony ship Dormire is filled with feisty and memorably strange characters who bounce off one another in ways that vary from the comic to the horrific. You like ideas in your science fiction? Lafferty does for clones what Asimov did for robots. Six Wakes will keep you turning pages right up to its startling climax. Mur Lafferty scores in this, her best book!"—James Patrick Kelly, winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and Locus awards

"Mysterious and tense . . . . I wish I wrote this book."—New York Times bestselling author Chuck Wendig

A very enjoyable mystery!

If Richard K. Morgan and Agatha Christie had a literary baby, this would be it!

Slow burn with satisfying finale

I'd say the first 2/3rds if the book felt pretty slow and disjointed, tackling the perspective and remembered history of each crewmember separately in a way that didn't leave you feeling invested in the plot as a whole. But when the connections between them become clear, you find yourself truly caring for this group of people who have done horrible things and were honestly trying to do good and embark on a fresh start.

TLDR: It may take a while to really get into the story, but it's worth sticking around for.

Cool sci-fi, ehhhh murder-mystery

So I finished the audiobook for Mur Lafferty's *Six Wakes*! It's a sort of sci-fi locked room murder mystery where a spaceship's small crew of six all wake up in their cloning bay to discover that they apparently died??? And are missing decades' worth of memories! So no one knows anything about each other, or who committed the murders... or if they themselves committed the murders... and their whole ship is sabotaged so no one knows what's going on.

I liked going into the beginning where, just like the characters, you're thrust into this random situation where everything is going wrong and know *nothing* about anyone or their possible motivations. It's tense watching them attempt to repair their ship to even survive, having to trust potential murderers they barely know, etc. etc.

My favourite parts were the flashbacks to the characters' lives before the spaceship, which had some fantastic world-building about what 'cloning' meant for everyone's lives and how they put up with it all. I think Lafferty had fun exploring the politics and ethics of cloning and how it worked, to the point where... unfortunately... the actual story ended up a disappointment.

Towards the end when everything to pieced together I was disappointed, like it ran out of steam and realized it needed a big final conflict but the 'present' crew and their predicament was the least interesting part of the story so I wasn't invested. Still a good listen, I'm a sucker for overly-invested sci-fi ethical bs, but I wish I cared more about the murders in this murder-mystery.
