It sounds deliciously dystopian! (Hmmm...should those two words even go together?) At any rate, it's right up my alley. Sci-fi and dystopia, almost the perfect mix! Thanks for the engaging review!

Thanks for your review! Human cloning isn't so far off; what's discussed in the book may become our reality. Society is always looking for a perceived lesser group to do its dirty work. I appreciate that the author inserted some lighthearted humor. It's funny that people in the future still know who Yoda is.

I like to know more about cloning, however, I cannot understand science fiction most of the time. I even struggling in reading the few samples of the book. Nice book that looks like predicting the future.

Books like Project Tau captures my imagination and throw them further into the future. Obviously, the future is getting to that edge, where machines replace the labour force, where clones will take over all possible human jobs. It's not a bright future for humans on one hand and a competition for power between man and machines in the society for superiority on the other hand.

Definitely sounds like a good read. I love science fiction in movies, and read a small few. This one seems suspenseful enough to keep reader invested in the story. I am not sure if I will tey this one, but congratulations on BOTD.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting story surrounding a college student and a secret cloning facility. It seems that it is worth a second look. Well done.

Official Review: Project Tau by Jude Austin helps us connect to the story of the book. The refreshing theme of human cloning discussed in the review makes us feel that the book is worth reading. The comic relief provided to us and the full rating given to the book make the readers love the book!

It is quite interesting how the author uses a simple topic to address more concerning situations in today's society. Thank you!

Oh wow this book seems to paint a dark sci-fi future for man kind. The plot sounds a little freaky though with the clones and all. I’m not really sure this is my kind of book.

I don't think I've heard of a story about a character breaking into a secret facility where cloning occurs. Interesting that it has the theme of human rights.

This is a crazy science fiction book. I just hope nothing of this kind will ever come to happen. Great review.

This review is right on! I loved the beginning how I was wondering what these guys were and then slowly figuring out what they were was interesting. I need to know what happens to Kalin!
