Six Wakes Mur Lafferty Orbit Books US coverJoin us for our November book club discussion of SIX WAKES by Mur Lafferty. This is an adult space opera murder mystery about six clones who awake from the cloning process to find their previous bodies slaughtered and their memories of the past few decades absent.

On a space ship far from earth, someone is murdering the crew. And the crew’s newly awakened clones will have to find their killer–before he strikes again.

Maria Arena awakens in a cloning vat streaked with drying blood. She has no memory of how she died. This is new; before, when she had awakened as a new clone, her first memory was of how she died. Maria’s vat is one of seven, each one holding the clone of a crew member of the starship Dormire, each clone waiting for its previous incarnation to die so it can awaken. And Maria isn’t the only one to die recently…
