[Following is a volunteer review of "Project Tau" by Jude Austin.]
[𝘍𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘷𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘦𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘦𝘸 𝘰𝘧 "𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘛𝘢𝘶" 𝘣𝘺 𝘑𝘶𝘥𝘦 𝘈𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯.]
Freshman, Kalin Taylor, is fortunate to have gained a place at the highly prestigious Sanderson College of Arts and Science (SACAS) and he knows it. Being a nerdy kid, he's determined to fit in. He accepts a dare from a frat house member to break into GenTech, a scientific facility and illegally photograph a top-secret project. Unfortunately for Kalin, things don't progress as expected. When threats of expulsion from (SACAS) are issued on his arrest, he's forced to sign a document entitling GenTech to experiment on him for a period of two weeks. He's advised that the resultant information will assist them in crucial cloning projects.
Kalin agrees to their terms at his peril, taking him down a tortuous path and testing his resolve in more ways than one. His humanity is severely challenged when he discovers what humans are capable of and the depths of depravity that they sink to. Kalin begins to realise that the timeframe given to him has come and gone and that this nightmare existence could be prolonged indefinitely.
Unscrupulous scientists within GenTech stop at nothing to ensure their new project (Project Kata) delivers the results required for their nefarious purpose of selling him to the military once his training as an assassin is complete. He witnesses the dehumanising effect of barbaric modifications and training that clones endure in the facility, filling him with a rage that he can barely contain and sets in motion his plan for escape.
The importance of topics such as equality, human rights and slavery are covered in this book and leave nothing to the imagination.
I thoroughly enjoyed the easy-to-read, suspenseful narrative in 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘛𝘢𝘶, the first book in the series by Jude Austin. It left me in no doubt that further forays into this future world would be well received by young adults who enjoy the genre of science fiction. Those who enjoy themes such as human cloning would also enjoy this book. I found nothing that I disliked about this flawlessly edited novel and have no hesitation in awarding it a full star rating of 5 out of 5 stars.
There is some profanity and violence as well as emotional and physical abuse present in the book which may offend those who are sensitive to this. The book also mentions an incident of sexual abuse but little detail is given.
