Far into the future. The Dormire, bound for Artemis, with a cargo of cryogenically preserved rich people filling her holds. Six crew and IAN, the AI are all that is needed to run the ship. The crew are all clones, working passage to expunge their various criminal records.
A quarter century into the mission something goes horribly wrong and Maria Arena wakes up in a cloning vat surrounded by floating dead bodies (one of them hers), there's no gravity, the ship is off course, the AI offline and someone on board is a killer.
A taut, exciting, read-in-one-sitting book. Lafferty takes the sci-fi and winds it around some very human traits.
