Luke Taylor's mission to uncover the truth behind the Clone program has only lead to the death of his friends. Who will be the next to die in his name? Collects Clone #16-20.
The clones are on the run to a safe place outside of Japan, minus "Tat" Eric, who stays behind fighting the "Coalition", a heavily Christian anti-clone group.
The place they're running to though… has anyone checked it out yet? Nope…
I found myself yelling at some scenes, so intense, and choices that had to be made even if Luke could not do it himself. I am still unsure about his wife, Amelia, and her decision-making. It seems to be more emotional based, on instinct, not well-thought out to me. The sister clones are quite scary, slightly indecisive, and brutal ninja like.
There are a couple shocking parts... The ending left me speechless, and have a clue what may take place in vol 5. I cannot wait to cop a copy soon; even though I have tons of other reads to do...
Disclaimer: I borrowed a copy (Hoopla) and giving my honest opinion.
By this point in the series, things are getting extremely silly. Mildly entertaining and it ends on a good cliffhanger (which will never get resolved), but there are so many ridiculous things in this volume that it's hard to ignore any longer. Ah well. A fun-ish reading experience.
J’ai trouvé que l’attrait des précédents tomes s’estompe car les auteurs réutilisent et nous resservent la même recette. Ça va continuer comme ça longtemps?
Explosive. Thrilling. Addictive. Well-paced. Great characters. I wasn’t completely on-board with the art style at first. In fact, I really didn’t like it. The shading/3D stuff was done with dots so it just looked really weird at first. I think it improved with each volume (or maybe I just got used to it?). Ignoring that though, can we please just take a minute to appreciate the fact that this series is about clones, literally characters that, by definition, look identical, yet, somehow, the illustrators are able to differentiate the characters without a problem. I had no issues telling who was who, and that’s just amazing in my book (lol, puns!). But anyway, this story idea is fantastic. I am not a sci-fi person. I’m really not. In fact, it’s my least favourite, most avoided genre. But this series shocked me. It was engaging, and kept me on my toes - throwing plot twist after plot twist at me to completely blow my mind. I loved the characters, and cared about all of them. The world’s response to the clones was spot on, and I had no doubt believing that people would react exactly like that.
Overall? I adored this series. Could you tell? I’m so, so sad to hear it’s been discontinued - they tried to make into a TV series and lost all their money or something? But I’d definitely recommended it. It was so good!
In this volume the clones are trying to get to their plane to escape to Japan. Lots of twists and turns get in their way as they make their way. Unfortunately, the series ends on a real intriguing cliff-hanger and I hear this is the end of a great, intense series.
