The book's description got me intrigued at the mention of cloning. I do hope this is not the future we find ourselves in. This is certainly one for my library. I'm glad the book isn't too graphic. I'll try not to be queasy as I read it.

The book seems pretty interesting and tantalizing. I like both science fiction and thrillers and this book appears to be a rather serious read that combines gentic engeneering, cloning with very ugly topics like slavery, human rights and abuse. It will be interesting to read and figure what will the consequences of Kalin's desire to fit in be. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

Hmmmmm,great work. This book I believe the author is going to win this years awards.
1.clone is becoming the other of the day, the Author Jude Austin of the tau project, have seen the science fiction about the slavery bringing by technology.
2.He made some point which I said, science created them and science train them but now science can not control them again.
What's saying is that with this cloning the technology is going to make the future look like going back to slavery which is against the human right.

Adding a touch of humor to a serious tone theme, refreshes the reader from a deep imaginative conception on the plotline. Jude thought of that I guess. Thanks for the informative review.

When I started reading the sample of the book, the first thing I thought of was the movie called Short Circuit. Bit I soon realized there was a lot of differences between the two stories. This one the robots have turned against their creators but the movie robots did not and made a more pleasant watching. However as your review states this could very well be our future. One would hope not but we never know what is in store for us. I am not into Sci-fi things as this but after reading the sample and your review I can honestly say I want to read it. Thank you for a most convincing review.

I'm moved to follow Kalin and read this one with eyes wide shut. Thanks for the tantalizing review.
Hahaha love the humor.
"Wide shut" sounds like a great way to dive into this read.

I like a good dystopian novel from time to time, and this seems to explore a darker side of humanity, especially about issues, human rights, etc. Thanks for the review.

I do believe that cloning humans will be an controversial issue in the future. This story sounds fascinating. Thanks for the review!

A fast-paced science fiction novel with an excellent plot. I would love to read this as I find the concept of clones to be interesting.

This is what is called, hard science fiction, in that it deals with science that is virtually here already. Apart from the science, which is human cloning in this book, it also touches on social issues as well. Great science fiction authors have all done this. I think I will enjoy this book, and the review was well written and illustrated the scope very well. I have always been fascinated by this concept and the character's also sound entertaining as well.

Sometimes, it would seem as though authors can see the future. Like how do they imagine what they write down! I like your review
