The second in this series and both won Hugos. The story is absolutely fun to read. The spaceship carrying what might be the last of humanity has suffered heavy damage from aliens trying to wipe them out, and now faces internal issues as well--bots that have been directed to take on the tasks and personas of their human crew in stasis. They get a little too into their roles. Palmer gives the characters personality and a good problem space to work in. Go read it.
