Review by cheri219 -- Project Tau by Jude Austin
Project Tau by Jude Austin is an excellent read. I give it 4 out of 4 stars. This would be a good read for sci-fi fans. Because it has quite a bit of profanity throughout the book, this may not be one you would want your children to read. The setting is in a society where human cloning and body modification seems to be the norm. Everybody knows it’s going on, but choose to look the other way as to how it is accomplished.
While it is a futuristic book you are made to feel that this is happening now in the current day. This book was fascinating yet scary at the same time. To think that a creation in a lab can be made from nothing. To become a living breathing human with thoughts and emotions. That a real person can be cloned into a semi subhuman machine while still retaining the abilities to think and feel. To see these two characters, grow & feed off one another is amazing.
When Kalin Taylor woke up that fateful morning, he had no idea his world was about to change forever. He started off trying to be something he was not. Trying to fit in where he was not wanted. Because he made the wrong decision, his world turned into something he never saw coming. I think that when Kalin became Kata it was simply him becoming more comfortable, more accepting of his dark side. For if he had stayed Kalin, the project would have become an utter failure. Along the way he learned some hard truths about himself as he befriended Project Tau.
Project Tau a scientific experiment was never meant to become human in the sense that we are. Only to take on the physical appearance with extraordinary strength and beauty. A perfect specimen to be sold to the highest bidder. Yet upon meeting Project Kata, he was thrown into a world that he at first had no desire to be a part of. He was a childlike creature in a man’s body. With no knowledge of the outside world around him. But that was about to change. The childlike innocence was soon to be a thing of the past. A bittersweet exchange for untold possibilities that lie ahead.
There was not anything that I disliked about this book. The writing style of the author is easy to read and comprehend. It is almost as if you are there in the room. You can literally hear them breathe, feel the anger, the rage, the despair. There is quite a bit of profanity throughout the book. Chatton, one of the scientists appeared to be overly religious (but he worked at a place like this) was seemingly offended by the foul & profane uttering of those around him. To his dismay, he was shocked to find out that Project Tau had learned foul language as well. This is interesting because many of the characters used profane language, even those in charge yet they expected the Projects not to partake in such. They expected perfection, yet they themselves were anything but.
This book will leave you in awe of the possibilities of artificial intelligence. Of human cloning. Of inhumane treatment. Of Slavery. Where does one draw the line between right and wrong? Or does right and wrong even exist anymore?

What i will say is to finalize everything is that no matter who you are you should be proud of yourself because everyone is unique in his or her own ways.
