Cloning is a highly controversial topic this millenium and this plot in a novel is intriguing and exciting to read. Nice book cover. Congrats!

I'm intrigued by the plot premise. I don't think I've had the pleasure of reading a sci-fi novel involving cloning before. This books sounds well-thoughtout and masterfully executed; just the thing to get my feet wet. Thanks for your compelling review.

This book's themes sound too dark for my taste, but it is an intriguing concept. I'm glad the character development was so good. Great review!

Poor Dolly) To be honest, despite how well this book sounds in review, I will have to skip this one, because I have zero interest in exploring subject of cloning and its moral and philosophical aspects of it. Anyway, congratulation on BOTD!

Wow, this sounds like a really interesting plot. I mean I hope it is different. So many cloning storylines these days are so similar to what scripts and books have been doing for years. I would read it!

I'm moved to follow Kalin and read this one with eyes wide shut. Thanks for the tantalizing review.
Science fiction, in general, has a dark tendency to it so I expect nothing less. But I agree, I'd appreciate a nice picture of the future sometimes.

Thanks for your fascinating review of this book! I can easily say that this book will be going on my to-be-read shelf and wishlist. I enjoy a good science fiction novel and while I initially thought this book would be closer to "present-day" with the main character stumbling across something new and dangerous I'm still just as eager to read this book just the same.

Thank you for the review. This book seems scarily brilliant. The fact that cloning is something that is being trialled in reality does add a chilling edge to this. I am looking forward to reading and finding out how this all pans out.

The reviewer has stated that the novel is easy to read, but she has included some technical words in her review. If the novel is easy to read then the review must also be easy to read. A good review though.

An interesting premise indeed, as the likelihood of futuristic space stations and human cloning with slavery implications might not be that far-fetched in the “science fiction someday becoming reality” arena. Helpful review!

Project Tau does seem like an epic book, right from the book's cover to the captivating summary. I'm curious; will Kalin make it out at all? What exactly is the Project Tau? I can't wait to get a copy. Great review.

After reading your review I'm ecstatic that I just chose this as my next review book; I can't wait to dive into it. With human cloning being all too possible in our future, I'm excited yet terrified to see what the next 50 years will bring us. Thank you for your review, it was a joy to read :)
