About this ebook

In this Hugo nominated science fiction thriller by Mur Lafferty, a crew of clones awakens aboard a space ship to find they're being hunted-and any one of them could be the killer.

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. . .

Unlock the bold new science fiction thriller that Corey Doctorow calls Mur's "breakout book".

Ratings and reviews

this is one of those authors who is unable to simply tell the story allowing you to figure it out on your own. no, instead, this author feels compelled to explain who did what and why. Simply awful. I read a dozen or more novels per year, yet this one took five months to finish. I have dreaded reading and turned to television, music, anything but this book.

I love Lafferty's Traveling Guide series. Six Wakes is a different genre and well executed. Loved the story from beginning to end.

I loved the idea of this story. I truly enjoyed the who dunit aspect of the story telling and enjoyed as the story unfolded. I could not stop reading till finished once I started.
