Excellent review. I enjoyed reading Project Tau. I hope there is a sequel. I would like to see Kata reunite with his parents. Also a little revenge on the fraternity would be good

Most of the story takes place on a space station years in the future, which is in keeping with the genre. It's one of those books that you read with morbid fascination. I wouldn't recommend the book for a younger audience due to mature themes. they sure can scare a person. It is more of a thriller, I have to add this one to my shelf! Thanks for the tantalizing review.

A gripping and fast-paced science fiction thriller is worth the time. I think this is the best book to enlighten me about cloning. I enjoyed your review. Thanks.

I have actually been wondering if I want to read this as it is the book of the month for April and I think that I will go ahead and attempt it, although sci-fi is not my thing. It seems as though the story will deal with some issues that many of us believe may come to be real in the future and that the characters are believable and that the story is well written. As long as there aren't zombies, aliens, or other items like that in the book, I am sure I will be able to finish it.

Thanks for your honest view of the story.

This is an intriguing science fiction novel with a premise that concerns types of technology in development today, and we don't know how long such level of genetic engineering and cloning will be science fiction. Thank you for your interesting review!
Ciao :)

You sayin' clones could be a fact sooner than we all think really made an impact to me while reading your excellent review of the story. It seems like things like cloning only happens in science fiction books but nobody can really say, seeing how the world works nowadays. Anyways, your review got me! I'll make sure to add Project Tau on my bookshelf.

This sounds like a science fiction book that I might enjoy. The fact that it contains some humor should help. I enjoyed the quote you included.

Kudos to the author of the book as he seeks to open our eyes to events that will shape the world in the nearest future, this way we are not caught unawares. Our world is fast changing and some mind-boggling innovations are going to rent our world sooner than expected.

Latest Review: Waterworks by Jack Winnick

Post by ksjordan59 »

This book seems to be a tale of what can go wrong when humans decide to inflict their "designer" abilities on to nature. When we create something do we really have complete control over it? And if we were to create a sentient being why would we expect it to obey us?

And we are often reminded, as in this book, that those in power are not necessarily the smartest ones in the room! Where do we draw the line when it comes to obeying orders, no matter how ridiculous?

I imagine this book will be a reminder of what can go wrong when we don't consider our past mistakes!

This is quite scary! Project Kata and Project Tau. I love the suspense and I'm curious, I'll give it a try.
Thank you for this beautiful review
