out possible culprits. The suspense is kept at the forefront of
this clever, politically charged tale."--RT Books Reviews

wonderful characters, and a fiendishly clever puzzle that you'll
roll over in your mind for months after you close the

one another in ways that vary from the comic to the horrific. You

Asimov did for robots. Six Wakes will keep you turning pages right
up to its startling climax. Mur Lafferty scores in this, her best
book!"--James Patrick Kelly, winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and Locus
