Thanks for the mature heads up! I was going to suggest this one to my nephew until I read your review. I enjoyed your review and look forward to reading this one myself.

'Project Tau is a gripping, fast-paced science fiction thriller. With close to 275 pages, the book will capture your attention quickly and not let go until long after you're finished reading.' From this description, I feel very much wager to read this book. Good review.

I don't think clones should be given equal rights as human but this is a nice plot and interesting read. I don't know if I want to try this book out but it sure deserves a good recommendation. Congratulations to the author on BOTD

This review drew me into the book already! I'm really intrigued by it and the reviewer really does a good job to pique your interest. I wonder what happened to Kalin. Definitely adding it to my must-read collection!

An immersive writing style is nearly typically necessary for a science fiction book to keep readers engaged. I value the author's taking the time to make that happen.

Going back to a book against one's will? reading it with one eye shut? Now if this doesn't promise an exciting read, I don't know what will. I'll like to read about sci-fi fiction on cloning humans. Nice review.

I read this book and loved every bit of it. Kalin and Tau were a great combination. You'd think the author would dwell on technology and cloning science. Instead, the book is all about the characters. Great review!

It's always interesting to read books full of science fiction, they are the best escape from reality. Truly I feel captured from just the review.

"Project Tau" by Jude Austin is an action-packed sci-fi thriller set around Project Tau. It is a discrete facility where the cloning process takes place, around which the plot of the book unfolds. I like the author's sense of humor.

Human cloning is what interests me in this science fiction thriller novel. The themes of human rights, slavery, and abuse also seem to go hand in hand with it. Your review is well-written.

What a very useful review! I have sampled this book, and I agree with the reviewer that it deserves all stars. As with the reviewer, I enjoyed the humour, the suspense, and the serious theme of cloning that pervades the story. I am yet to read up to the points of the mature episodes the reviewer warns about though. But I feel it will be a fascinating read for me too :).

Adding comics to a serious plot brings more life to the plot. Cloning humans and ill-treating them sounds like a serious plot. But I'm more eager to read the humor which lightened the story in the book. Great review.

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.
