This was a fun little sci-fi novel about a group of clones on a space mission who awaken to discover that their previous selves have been murdered, their ship’s been sabotaged, they're outside of communication range with Earth, and they don't remember the past twenty-five years. The best parts of this book were the characters trying to piece together their relationships to one another (they've basically just met but the murder victim versions of themselves had known each other for decades), and the world-building around clones and clone related laws.

I docked a star because there are some things surrounding one of the characters’ motivations that could have been explained better and I thought the way the author handled religion was kind of weird. Overall though I would recommend if you want a fun sci-fi adventure and don't mind some gory descriptions.
