A seemingly innocent frat stunt goes wrong when SACAS student Kalin Taylor — desperately wanting to be accepted — trespasses into GenTech to take a photo. He’s then captured and put through all kinds of horrific tests. Project Tau is a gripping novel about the lengths corrupt scientists go to for financial gain.

Set in the future when humans have settled on other planets, the GenTech laboratory is located on the Sanderson space station, which orbits planet Basarr. Kalin is from Trandellia and moved to Basarr to attend the prestigious SACAS college, unaware this would change his life forever.

The head of GenTeach — only ever referred to by his first name — Mason, is pure evil. His mission and overwhelming greed make him truly despicable. I spent the whole novel hoping that something terrible would happen to him. Did it? You’ll need to read the book to find out.

Kalin Taylor, or Project Kata, as he becomes, is an incredibly likeable character. He begins as fat, nerdy, and insignificant, but by the end of the story, he has many more endearing qualities. Watching his development is inspiring.

The stand-out character is Project Tau, whom the book is named after. He is a scientific experiment. He is human in almost every way, except he was created in a laboratory. His innocent, childlike ways can’t help the reader fall in love with him, even more so because of the atrocities he faces daily.

Numerous scientists, most of whom are as heartless as Mason, fill in the rest of the characters.

The book is written in the third person, it’s very easy to navigate, and the chapters are well-spaced so that it can be picked up and put down by someone with a busy schedule. Be warned, though, it's a page-turner and very hard to stop reading once started.

It’s exceptionally well-edited, so I applaud Jude Austin for giving the novel that extra level of care.

I loved the book and found myself cheering for the boys every time they had a win. There’s no way I’d give it any less than 5 out of 5 stars. It’s book one of five, and the ending, while highly satisfying, makes me want to get my hands on the second one asap.

While it appears to be aimed at a teenage market, the swearing, violence, and references to sexual abuse make it more suited for a more mature audience. Sci-fi fans of scientific experiments and human cloning will love this as much as I did.

"The stand-out character is Project Tau, whom the book is named after. He is a scientific experiment. He is human in almost every way, except he was created in a laboratory." Doens't this exciting to read yet feels scared to sense , may be someday this fiction gonna turn as reality around us. Good and engaging review.

[Anaïs Quesson]

Another great book I think I would love. Experimenting on children is harsh. I wonder if the boys will get to escape their suffering in the following books of the series.

Another great page-turning novel recommended by you. The suspense must be incredible as the boys are at the mercy of an evil and cruel scientist. The superb editing along with the great character development will make this book an enjoyable read for me. Oh boy, another book to add to my want to read list. Thank you!

So spooky! I've often thought of whether these kind of things actually happen. I mean we know about how they're putting brains into robots now but still there might be a real Mason out there. It was a refreshing review, as always, keep it up!

That's it Harshitha,this story could be a reality in the very near future, that's what made it so fascinating for me.

No spoilers, but from the synopsis of book 2, which is somewhere on my out-of-control 'must read' list, it appears they're on another planet, so I hope that's good news for them.

lol Gerry, I feel your pain, I've added so many books to my 'must read' list, I think I'lll probably be dead before I'm half way through it, there's only so many hours in a day to dedicate to reading

100% I believe this could be a reality in the very near future. That's why I love books like this; they're eerily close to the truth.

[Julie Marie Basil]

Based on your review I don't think I would enjoy this book due to the human experimentation and some mature content that I avoid when possible. Thank you for another thorough review!

You're right. there's a lo of content in this book that isn't suitable for every reader. I feel I should have been clearer about that in my review.

[Kshitija Sonawane]

I am someone who has strong motherly extincts, even though I am not a mother. Throughout this review, I wanted nothing more than to hug the boys, especially Tau. I went from my country to another country for studies so I have an idea about how vulnerable one can be. I wish to read this book too.

Hmmm, your motherly instincts might get a little triggered by this book, some of the things the researchers do to Tau are just awful, my heart went out to the little boy throughout. I hope he gets his revenge in books 2 and 3.
