A scary look at the future sounds interesting on one hand. On the other hand, I'm not sure this is a book for me. The idea of clones gives me shivers but I am sure some readers will enjoy this book. Thank you for your review.

Science has definitely gone beyond comprehension for me. Congratulations to the author, though.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting science fiction thriller following a college student that, in order to join a fraternity, he is forced to break into a top secret cloning facility. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

This novel appears to do what the best science fiction is supposed to do: make us ponder. It makes us consider what it means to be human in this circumstance, and when we all deserve the same rights. This book is too good to miss. Thanks for the detailed review!

I absolutely loved this book. I rarely find authors who focus on character description and development, but that wasn’t the case here. I loved the characters and the plot was amazing and suspenseful. I’ve never read a book about cloning to be honest but I really loved this❤️

Thank you for such an interesting review. I enjoy this genre and this novel seems to blend the likely future reality of cloned humans and the ever-present tragedy of slavery. Congratulations on BOTD!

I like that the book is conceived as gripping and fast-paced. I also like that this science fiction thriller is character-driven. It is commendable that both the main and supporting characters are well developed.

I love science fiction, and this one sounds like a great read. The idea of clones in the future has some base in truth. I am looking forward to adding this to my bookshelf. Thanks for such a great review that gave me so much information.

Post by Promise Lawrence »

I've been reading the book and I'm not quite at the stage where I have to read with one eye closed yet. I'm so captivated right now since the beginning actually and I'm unable to stop reading. The fact that cloning takes center stage makes me unable to put the book down because I always thought that that's where technology would lead humanity anyway. I can't wait to find out where the story takes me.

Well, now I definitely want to know what happened to Kalin. I'm up for a bit of a scare with some sci-fi.

"Project Tau" by Jude Austin. A science fiction book written for the future. The cloning part of the book got me inspired but looks kind of thinking and behaving like humans. Congrats on BOTD.

Wow! It's beginning to seem like a reoccurring theme where whenever I'm interested in a book being reviewed, it's one reviewed by Kandscreeley. Project Tau seems like a book I'll really enjoy and I'm eager to embark on this journey Kalin is so courageous to take, despite his reservations. Thank you for your review.
Cheers! (ง'‿'︠)ง ♥
