Highlights
Quality
I finished it as soon as i could and was satisfied with the ending
Glad the mur lafferty did and if you grab this one you will too
The novel starts out with the statement of the international law regarding the codicils to govern the existence of clones
The real value of this book is the take on what a clone is and how society changes with the prevalence of cloning humans
Shipping
Throw in an ai that runs the ship who has been hacked and you have one of the most entertaining scifi novels that ive read in years
The ship is programmed to return to earth and no one knows why
Theres more here than just whats going on in the ship
It all becomes unnecessary when we learn what “crimes” they committed to get them on the ship
Packaging/appearance
We learn about each characters crime what their motivations are and how they got to be on the crew of the dormire
Competitiveness
I kept one star back to reflect the unimpressive english writing but for those who may not care about style as much as i do it ... Read More
I enjoyed it as a locked room mystery sortof scifi thought experiment

I would have given the book a “5” but the ending was very rushed

And the speculation of a type of clone existence was more than plausible

The cloning technology and the many ethical options are a background that is integral to the story

One of the clones wakes up in a cloning vat more on that in a bit as well to find that her most recent self as well as the rest of the recent selves of the crew have been murdered

What also is evident is that everyones memories of the trip so far have been wiped and the ship itself is slowly veering off course

To complete the mystery the ai ian is also malfunctioning

The novel starts out with the statement of the international law regarding the codicils to govern the existence of clones
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
While essentially an infodump and one to start off the novel rather than it appearing later on the codicils are important to the story and its a good thing to have them right up front as clones cloning and the ethics and morality of cloning are key elements in the story
