Andre Norton's The Stars are Ours (1954*) is also interesting, as it has the use of "cold sleep" - freezing and reviving humans & animals through the use of chemicals and refrigeration berths.
In the story, of 59 persons aboard the improvised ship escaping from Terra (controlled by an anti-science dictatorship), 6 die during the trip - some through hibernation equipment failure during the voyage, and some not surviving revival.
Sound familiar?
* 13 years before publication of the first book in Edwin Charles Tubb's Dumarest series - who many credit with "inventing" the "low berth" and its ~10% fatality rate.![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
