I think Tchaikovsky's Alien Clay is the only story with cold sleep starships I've read recently that *doesn't* begin with "POV character wakes from cold sleep to find some/many/most fellow travelers dead"

In cold ship crew's defence, the cold sleep facility and the frozen dinner freezer need to be a lot more clearly labelled than they usually are.
