A fictitious look Into the possibilities of how bad the future could be. That is some scary stuff. I will have to take your word for it and read this book with morbid curiosity. Great well thought out review.

The author seems to be very creative with this futuristic science fiction thriller about human cloning, and themes of human rights, slavery, and abuse. I sampled the pages and I found it very intriguing and interesting. Congrats on BOTD.

I wonder how some writers get their inspiration. Although I seem uninterested in the book, I must acknowledge the writer for such a creative science piece. Thanks to the reviewer also for a nice review. Congratulations on winning BOTD.

I think the review is very complete and well written. It summarizes the book's plot without giving too much away, highlighting the likes and dislikes. Mention the genre, style, characters, themes, and humor of the book. I see a very personal opinion and rating at the end. It seems to me that you do a good job of analyzing the book.

As a science fiction reader, you have piqued my interest in reading Project Tau. I like the idea of a story that explores the ethical and moral implications of human cloning. I'm intrigued to find out what happens to Kalin Taylor in the Tau Project, and how she relates to the clones. I also like stories that have an element of suspense and mystery, and that make me think about what might happen in the future. I think Project Tau is a novel that meets these requirements.

Overall, I think this review is very good and I enjoyed reading it.

Looks like a heavy book with a lot thrown in like slavery and cloning. Sounds scary. I would like to read it.

Wow, cover your hands because it's too shocking, but then get drawn back in; I love it. Like you, I usually think sci-fi will have something to do with spaceships and aliens, but it sounds like the plot here, cloning etc, is more dystopian future than fiction. Adding this to my list purely because of your review; thanks.

I really enjoyed the Amazon sample, and I agree there's a lot of thought provoking material in this book, even in the sample!
I also concur that the story is a gripping, fast-paced science fiction thriller, so long as the rest of the book keeps up the same pace as the sample.
I'm not always a sci-fi fan, but this one hooked me from the start, and thanks to your review for the most part, I'm fairly certain I'll need to get the book and finish reading it. So thank you for a great review.
Only I am a bit confused, though. It was my understanding that Project Tau was a clone, and that GenTech was the facility. I'll have to go and re-read some of it to clarify this in my own mind.
Thanks again for your review!

The review is as well-written and mesmerizing as the sample I read. I totally agree that the premise of human cloning is much closer than we would like to admit. The possibility this could be used for evil is horrific. Project Tau promises to be a book that is hard to put down and harder to forget.

I will read "Project Tau" by Jude Austin to know what went wrong as Kalin Taylor finally resolved to break into the facility where cloning takes place.

The idea of cloning humans or pets makes my skin crawl, especially to be used as slaves! Yikes! Thanks for your detailed review!
