I have always been a die hard fan of science fiction. For me, it just makes your mind go wild and think of achieving the impossible. The book is really engaging from the start although it didn’t end as I expected.

I would recommend the book to other people because of the plot and changes submerged in the storyline.

This book is intriguing, it is also a little alarming! Scientists have been attempting to master cloning for many years! Sci-Fi has always been a thrill for me and this one made an exception.

This book is enjoyable, engaging, and fascinating. What I liked most was the qualities of and the relationship between the two Projects, Kata and Tau. I did not see anything I didn't like. I was very glad when I found out that a second book has already been published! Great work.

I would have picked this book off the shelf in a book store based on the cover and the premise: Clones, engineered to be superior to humans, escape and must be captured. The first sentence, "Project Tau has escaped." peaked my interest so that I was willing to keep reading. Then one of the characters actually, "harrumphed." That was strike number one for me. Strikes two and three came soon after when the characters started delivering back story by telling each other things they both already knew. In a book store, that is when I would have put the book down and moved on, and that is what I'm doing with Project Tau.
We’re gonna need a bigger bookshelf.

The author has touched a unique topic in sci-fi and I enjoyed it thoroughly. It was hard to put down the book once started reading. I mostly liked the relationship between Project Tau and Project Kata. We were able to meet different types of humans. I loved the technology used in the book. There was nothing I disliked.

My rating is 4 out of 4 stars. I will recommend this book to everyone as the plot is intriguing and the cast is well-developed.

I have made it 75% through the book and struggling to continue. I read a lot of sci-fi and I have found this one laborious to read. The characters seem to spend most of their time arguing or being nasty to each other, even Kata and Tau's relationship is weird. I can't relate to any of these characters, none of them seem fully developed. Renfield says he had to dig deeply to uncover the what happened to Kalin, however I don't consider a quick trip to Kalin's home world and questioning a couple of people really to be an example of "digging deeply". I will keep reading and hope the book doesn't end how I think it will, maybe I will be surprised.

This book is such a page turner. Although science fiction books are not really my bag, but I found this one hard to put down. It's a perfect score read for me.

Definitely an interesting read that echoes many of the concerns raised by other science fiction books. Something I liked about this one was how we got to see Kata and Tau's relationship develop. Other protagonists in the science fiction books I read seem isolated in some way, but perhaps that's because I read the more dystopian novels.

This book gets maximum rating for me. The storyline though revolving around two major characters (kata and Tau) was well written. The story was engaging from the beginning to the end, it has a full dose of suspense and action,it has a well balanced sentence structure. I will surely recommend this book to all science fiction readers

The book had me gripped right from the beginning. Initially, I felt sad for Denninson as he comes in contact with the rogue Project Kata. Later on, I despised Denninson so much, that I actually commend the author for making the readers pile up unimaginable amounts of hate for the character.

Being completely plot-driven, the novel was such a page turner, I was sweating at certain situations where I feared the safety of the protagonists. I would rate the book a solid four out of four. There aren't many books that I binge read; this one was an exception. I definitely recommend others to give this a read. Being a sci-fi thriller fan, this book was catnip for me.

When it comes to sci-fi books I am always very picky as sometimes the concepts and plots bore me to an extent that I don't want to read the book anymore. But this one is an absolute gold. The story-line is unique and spellbinding. I am so happy about the sequel as there were a few unanswered questions.
