Six Wakes

Every once in a while I'll hit a science fiction novel which, out of the blue, gives me that same awesome thrill and sense of wonder that the best ones have given me since I started reading SF as a child. If I'm lucky, this happens 2 or 3 times a year. Ancillary Justice was one of those, as was The Martian, as was Retrograde.

And Six Wakes is another. I'm a sucker for a good SF mystery, and this is a great locked-room SF mystery with bonus space opera, on a generation ship with clones. This is going on my Hugo ballot, and I'm hoping that Lafferty can pull more of these out of her spacesuit sleeve.
