Chloe the Clone is an enjoyable, suspense-filled fictional novel written by William E. Mason. This book consists of seventeen chapters that bring to life concepts of morality, survival, and the length a person is willing to go to protect someone they love. It follows Sam Turner, a fifty-six-year-old writer with a severe heart condition that threatens to kill him at any time.

The book begins at Cloning Transplants Inc. It is a cloning facility where a sentient clone has been discovered. This threatens to put its CEO, Demetri Andropov, in jail as sentient clones are illegal. At the same time, Sam Turner, the client who paid for the said clone, has a check-up session with his doctor and is advised to demand his clone. All these events coincide with a new piece of legislation that could shut down businesses like Cloning Transplants Inc.

As the plot progresses, Andropov decides to begin a cover-up. He has the clone heavily sedated and hands her over to Sam before the FBI can pin her existence on him. Sam must now make a trip to Mexico with no experience of taking care of a clone. The situation becomes even more complex when Sam discovers she is sentient, capable of communicating clearly and decides to call Sam Grandpa. This forces Sam to not just try and save himself but his clone too. Thus began this whirlwind of an adventure that developed into a compelling read. Will Sam survive? Will Chloe survive? And will Andropov pay for his crimes? Find out in this amazing book.

This book has a lot of positives. The language used is relatively easy to understand. William does an excellent job taking the reader on a compelling journey while making the decisions of the main characters understandable and relatable. I found myself emotionally invested in characters like Sam, Chloe, and Wellstone. I unconsciously saw myself rooting for Andropov's downfall too. Also, the author does well to bring solid and balanced arguments to the issue of cloning for organs and the question of morality surrounding it. In the end, this debate proved to be contemporary and relevant to the modern-day as such technological advancements are already in place. William also does a great job with the dialogue by using the right pop culture references from television shows and movies. He also brought to light other cultural and socioeconomic issues with subtlety.

There is an aspect of this book that I did not quite like. There are events that happened too conveniently with little explanation why; for instance, we are never told how Francisco found Victor or how JoAnne knew Heidi in Mexico. I felt a bit more information would have helped to explain these scenes. It left me stranded, and I kept wondering how it was possible. In addition, I would have loved to see more of some characters, like Aurelia and Victor considering the substantial roles they played. To me, the book did not do so much justice to some of its main characters.

I found a lot of errors in this book; it was not professionally edited. For this reason, I would deduct a star from my rating. I rate this book 3 out of 4 stars. The negative aspects of the book do not take away the compelling nature and satisfaction of this book; as a result, I cannot remove any more stars from my rating. I recommend this book to all lovers of thrillers and suspense novels. People who enjoy fictional books would enjoy reading this book.

The review is informative. The plot spans a large area that extends into Mexico—quite the science fiction on the future cloning procedures. The plot encompasses science fiction and a bit of suspense and FBI involvement. Although the review is well written and provides a lot of the plot and information, this aspect of science fiction is a bit overdone and not of interest to me. Thanks for the review.

"Chloe The Clone" by William E. Mason, a book that features morality, love, and survival. It is a book about cloning and its related matters. It will be interesting to read more about the story. This is an interesting book to read.

This review effectively captures the essence of Chloe, The Clone, highlighting its strong narrative, ethical dilemmas, and emotional depth.

This intriguing storyline makes me wonder how Sam will survive if his survival only depends on the demise of someone who calls him "Grandpa." Thank you for your review.

Chloe, the Clone mixes concepts of cloning with ethical issues, creating a plot full of suspense and moral dilemmas. The author explores the debate on cloning and its social and cultural impacts. However, the book falls short in explaining some events and lacks depth in the development of certain characters, such as Aurélia and Victor. Despite editing mistakes, the reading remains exciting, with rich dialogues and an engaging storyline.

Congrats on BOTD!
An exciting science fiction thriller that explores the morality of cloning in great detail! Author William E. Mason's "Chloe the Clone" chronicles the struggle of a sick writer named Sam to save his illegally conscious clone.

[Rady Espinoza]

It's a fun, action-packet tale that vividly illustrates ideas of survival, morality, and the extent one willing to save a love. The story starts with Cloning Transplants Inc., where a sentient clone was discovered. Very interesting BOTD specially nowadays when we talk about artificial intelligence.

Cloning if done must be informed to the authorities so that it can stay in the limits. And.dont.exceed.the threshold.

I was captivated by the suspense and quirky humor in Chloe the Clone; its mix of ethical dilemmas and fast-paced twists kept me hooked despite a few convenient plot points.

[Seetha E]

I recently read a book with a similar plotline. "Progress" in this field in the real world certainly raises concerns. I will look out for this one. The author's website offers a brief excerpt that jumps right into the narrative. Thanks for your great review.

[María Andrea Fernández Sepúlveda]

With the recent gigantic leap in AI technologies, questions surrounding the possible sentience of machines (or clones) are becoming more urgent and relevant. And Chloe seems like an endearing character! Thank you for your review.

Chloe the Clone is one book I have had my eyes on. Sam Turner with the heart condition, A cloning facility and a threat of legal actions; A promise for an epic ride.
