A technically competent science-fiction locked-room mystery about six cloned crew members on a 400-year voyage. The review praises character ecology and plotting but finds the work lacking a deeper genius or broader SF ambition. Overall a mixed, measured assessment.

For:Readers of science fiction and speculative fiction interested in cloning ethics, AI, and locked-room mysteries in space.
