I imagine the sequel will delve more into other planets. I was confused that Kalin was from another planet, but human. Does that just mean humanoid?raindropreader wrote: ↑21 Apr 2020, 10:25Yes!

We all know that cloning is real and it's only a matter of time before the process is misused or abused. It was interesting to watch the relationship between the two Projects develop, with each absorbing an aspect or two from the other.
I would have liked to know more about the backdrop. Where is this place? Do humans populate other planets? What is the timeline of this story?
I've already gotten my copy of the next book and look forward to reading more about the Projects.

I appreciated the spots of humor thrown in also.blackpinkpurple wrote: ↑19 May 2020, 11:55 This book was right up my alley. I was excited to read this one and it did not disappoint. It is a science fiction book with teenage characters set in college with some dystopian background. It was a gripping tale about how our future may look like in the next 100 years. It also touches upon some sensitive topics such as violence and abuse, it is not graphic.
The book deals with mature topics sensitively while still being true to itself. The characters are portrayed as strong individuals with a responsibility towards the future. Some aspects of the book are relatable such as the efforts to fit in by the main protagonist. The author has designed a dark sense of humor which was pretty good. It helped in lightening the atmosphere amid the serious storyline.
Overall I would give this book 4 out of 4 stars. It is a great read to stimulate your imagination.

Stepping in here (with huge thank yous to everyone!) to say, no. Kalin's ancestors are from Earth/Terra; they just settled on another planet several hundred years ago. The history is briefly covered in Project Tau - the later editions - and explained in far more depth in the sequel where, yes, Tau and Kata do get to explore other planets. Mostly one other planet, but the others come into play tooteacherjh wrote: ↑24 May 2020, 23:41I imagine the sequel will delve more into other planets.

Anyway, to answer your question, every character in the series is just as fully human as you and me

In this case we find a mixture of Pygmalion, the monster of Frankestein, Predator and the effects of the pax of Serenity (Firefly). It is a story of search and inner growth, with a few touches of action and intrigue well distributed.
As a science fiction adept I did not take this book lightly. But I do not want to rate it. This is because I feel that my criticism would be too severe and based on my personal tastes too much. Let's be honest I would give it an iron for considering it a rehash of other works and it doesn't deserve it.
The story per se has originality and creativity quotas, a research work on the subject is seen. The author's dedication and affection for his work can be seen. It seems to me that judging this book by the originality of its creatures and behavior would be very cruel of me. If we take into account other aspects of the work, we are faced with a very good book.
If it is for originality I would give this book a score of 2 out of 4 stars. But if I take into account other parts of this work it can calmly reach a score of 3 out of 4 stars.

That makes me think twice about whether I'd enjoy. I like books to feel fresh and original. That's hard to come by though.Giga51087 wrote: ↑25 May 2020, 21:32 With Proyect Tau I have a serious problem. I find it an attractive book. But the type of story and plot twists I have seen very similar to another works. Science fiction fans often suffer from great encouragement from various authors. Good or bad, the central themes of his stories do not change much over the years.
