Featured Official Review: Project Tau by Jude Austin [April 2020 Book of the Month]

[Sydney Nyamasoka]

Thank you for the well written review. From your review, I think I'd skip this book but do appreciate the realistic picture of the possible future ahead of us as humanity. Sadly, we are capable of wild things that are devastating.

This fast-paced science fiction thriller that revolves around human cloning appears intriguing and captivating. I can't wait to dive into it. Thanks for the great review.

‪I loved the sample pages, and I hope I get the chance to review this book. I want to find out more about the Projects and what happens to Kalin.‬

A book about cloning seems to be interesting.

Thank you for the great review.

The review made me more interested in the book than I already was, although the idea of peeking my way through the novel makes me chuckle a bit. I also think it has a realistic aspect to it - I think plenty of people would find it easier to view clones as "lesser than" other humans, although I think that is ridiculous and just another excuse to do terrible things. Thank you for your review!

Sci Fi isn’t a favorite of mine, but the sample pages and this wonderful review might make me want to read this book. Cloning is an interesting prospect, but the amount of violence detailed in the Prologue may give me pause.

I’ve just read a bit of it, and by your review, I know I’ll have to finish it! Thanks

This is a beautifully written review. I read some pages in the sample and wasn't sure that this book is for me, but your review persuaded me otherwise. I especially loved the inclusion of the humourous line about Yoda because I wouldn't have associated humour with a serious book like this.

This is a sci-fi thriller . This story is captivating and partly catapulted into the future . Project Tau is a nice book to read .

I'm seriously looking forward to knowing what happened to Kalin Taylor and Project Tai.
Great book!!!

I read the first few chapters of the sample, and I am hooked. A fast-paced sci-fi thriller sounds awesome. The author implementing Yoda in a bit of humor to lighten the mood is certainly noteworthy. The review confirms my first impression that Project Tau is definitely a book I want to read. Thank you for the excellent review.

It doesn’t exactly sound like something that’s up my alley. It sounds like it could be slightly intriguing for someone into science fiction and the whole “demise of the future” type thing....but not my cup of tea.

All I can say is: Wow! Between reading all the posts/reviews and then the book's sample pages, I have been intrigued, to say the least. So far, Project Tau by Jude Austen sure appears to tell quite the unique story. I am a die-hard sci-fi fan by nature, and this book is definitely drawing me in. It seems like it encompasses many more genres than just sci-fi though, like drama, thriller, horror, and I'm not even sure what else...yet!

It all starts out with college student Kalin Taylor participating in a hazing stunt that involves a mega-corporation and cloning. As you can imagine, things don't go as planned. Need I say more?

The whole premise of cloning in this story is told in such way that makes the reader feel as if it's foretelling the future of our society, should we continue to go down that scientific path which we have already started to walk. It eerily lays the foundation of how quickly society embraces slavery of human clones, all in the name of power and money. The sociological impact of just that part of the story is hideous to think of, yet it makes the book that much more compelling to read at the same time.

I can't wait to sit down and read this. I know I will not be disappointed by this book. It definitely will be one of those books that I just can not put down until I'm finished.

I usually don't go for science fiction books because they tend to be a bit mediocre. But this one seems to be on the cusp of sci-fi and fiction. It sounds very interesting! Nice review.

[bellajavier]

The book has a very strong and gripping plot, with such realistic character, and strong sense of logic throughout. The fact that there was comic relief, makes it an ideal book for someone who loves the genre (ME!).

I absolutely love how your review is written, very clear and very concise. I'm glad you enjoyed the book!
