I'm so picky when it comes to science fiction books. In that case, I won't consider reading Homecoming by Jude Austin but I will recommend it. Congratulations to the author on the BOTD. Great review!
Books are beautiful.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting science fiction sequel to Project Tau following Tau and Kata's escape from GenTech. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

The actions in the book are intriguing and commendable. My only setback to getting tuned to this book is having to read the prequel, Project Tau. I hope to start from there. Congratulations BOTD.

I am very intrigued by this book but I need to read Project Tau first in order to understand this book better.Thanks for the informative review though.

Thank you for the great review.

The well-written characters are definitely interesting to me. The fact that Austin included well-developed supporting characters is a great addition as well. Great review describing how much the story drew you into it!.

Homecoming second part of series by author Jude Austin. A great Science fiction to grab. Further, descriptions and comparisons pointed by reviewer makes me want to read novel to understand brilliant work done by author. Reviewer brilliantly explained how precisely character have been explained in the book. Definitely a series to read over and over again and fall in love with characters and story.

This book sounds so good! Being an avid reader of science fiction novels this book sounds like the perfect fit for me. As it's part of a series I'll be putting it on my to-be-read shelf for now, but I doubt that it will sit there for long. As soon as I grab the first book I'll be coming for this one.

Just by reading your review, I can already picture some scenes in my mind. I love sci-fi novels as much as I love the movies so I'm eager to read this plus the first book. Great review.

What I enjoyed was the realism reflected in the descriptions of both the characters and the planet in the first couple of chapters. The mud puddles, the shabby motel, the cracked windows, etc.

The character Kata appears to be street-wise, tough, and a natural born leader. In contrast, Tau is more gentle, used to taking directions, and obeying the rules.

The two different personalities seem to interact well with each other, as they definitely require each others abilities. Kata is a fighter, but can't pilot a shuttle. Tau, on the other hand, is a highly skilled flyer.

This is definitely a series of books that I would enjoy reading.

I’ve been interested in this series for a while. I really like the concept of cloning and such.

I see the choices Kalin has to take continue in the second book. I will have to read the first book before picking this one as the book sounds really exciting and intriguing. The topics like human rights, abuse and family which are important nowadays are an additional bonus for me. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!
