Kalin recently began schooling at Sanderson College of Arts and Sciences (SACAS). He has few, if any, friends and is nerdy. Kalin determines that joining a fraternity is the best way to make this right. When he approaches the men of the Phi Mu Alpha fraternity to make a pledge, they inform him that he must break into the Project Tau sign as a sort of admission badge.

Project Tau is a top-secret government initiative that is highly secured. In an attempt to earn the respect of his soon-to-be fraternity brothers, Kalin attempts to break into Project Tau. He gets caught and apprehended. What happens to him then?

In Project Tau by Jude Austin, the author presents readers with a novel idea. It is the fundamental allegory of man against the state. The book is primarily the tale of a man who is helpless against his circumstances until he is finally pushed to the point where he begins to resist.

The idea of the book is intriguing, even though this metaphor is neither novel nor exceptional. I was furious at what had happened to Kalin Taylor as I read this novel. I haven't read any books that depict this form of persecution without first providing some background information. Whether or not Kalin's experiences are justified, there is no good reason for him to go through such horrible experiences.

I had to confront the notion that the government typically lacks a motive for oppression and does not require one. I also like that Austin's writing kept me guessing if Kalin was a clone the entire time, even after reading the circumstances that brought him to his hazardous condition. She did a fantastic job telling the story. I found no errors, showing that the book was expertly edited. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. There was nothing I disliked while reading the book. The tempo and pace of the book were constant throughout. I recommend to readers that love books filled with mystery.
