Six Wakes by Mur Lafferty
Cloning has been a fascinating subject for all of us. People wanted to see an actual human cloning, despite of the possible horrors, since the first clone Dolly, the sheep. The book cover says, “Six crew. One ship. One Killer” and the book is exactly about that.
Mur Lafferty gives a fair idea about 7 rules of cloning at the start of the book itself. The murder mystery which is set in the year 2493 is so breathtaking that it’s hard to put it down.
