The characters in "Project Tau" are multi-dimensional and relatable. Dr. Emily Collins is a strong and determined protagonist, driven by her ambition and desire to push the boundaries of science.

After reading the sample and the review I'm intrigued. Cloning is something super scary but real. Scientists are working hard to make this a reality and the question remains what will happen to humanity once they completely succeed? Thanks for a great review.

Hmmm, I can see where this is going. I have to admit, after reading the first chapter I was concerned the book might be too predictable to be compelling, but after reading the review I changed my mind. Sounds like a thriller. I love sci-fi and fantasy, and this one is going on my shelf for sure.

I'm intrigued by the type of science fiction but advanced human science is somewhat terrifying in these aspects. After reading this review, I'm more interested in reading it.

I enjoyed the detailed summary in your review. The sample pages were incredibly engaging. I was thrilled and excited to read more about Project Tau and what happened to Kalin. A secret project, cloning, mystery around the repercussions of snooping, what's not to love? I love this kind of science fiction, so I am looking forward to reading the rest of the book soon. Congratulations on being selected BOTD!

I am already in awe with the contents of this book, Project Tau. But I guess it will be classified as fantasy because I do hope cloning is not real. Thanks for the review. Congratulations to the author on winning BOTD.

I personally shy away from books with violence, but I like that it has a futuristic setting. With all this talk of artificial intelligence these days cloning will not be far behind. Interesting point about the author finding a way to interject Yoda, are we talking about another Mandalorian? A little humor might smooth over the rawness I just might give this a try.

I found this book both fascinating and horrifying, I could imagine that a world like this could exist, but at the same time taking solace in the fact that it doesn't. I was drawn into the story, wanting to know what happens to Kalin. I was captivated . Sharon Dowdell

Well constructed review. After only the sample of the book, I had this awful feeling of dread. Why did Kalin believe they would let him go after two weeks? I agree that young adults interested in Science Fiction, and not the squeamish kind, would enjoy this novel. I'm glad to read that the gore is kept to a minimum. Loved what I read and 4 out of 4 for an excellent review with no spoilers. Dying to find out what happens to Kalin. He seemed a wimpy guy too scared of what others thought at the start. Once he was trapped inside, he changed. But he has a long way to go. A great read.

I find the concept of a human rights theme in the book to be highly intriguing. It adds an appealing aspect to the overall narrative. Additionally, the plot appears to possess a distinctive quality, combining elements of suspense and science fiction with cloning at its core.
