"The first volume in a new science fiction series chronicling the transformation of Gerda Tau, a humanoid creature struggling for freedom, "Tau 4" by V. J. Waks is a superbly crafted work that will engage the reader's total attention from beginning to end."

"The perfect killing machine. That's what the Homeworld Alliance wants in their war against the Outworlds. but the perfect killing machine in this case is made of flesh and blood......." Yellow30 Sci-Fi - Tau 4 was nominated for a Pluto Award by this site!

"Victoria J. Waks has sewn together an almost poetic narrative in her debut novel, TAU4."
says Richard Hawkins, www.scifi.uk.com

"The main characters are engaging enough that you want to learn more about them. TAU has her inner turmoil as she gets to grips with who and what she is. It's not a typical scifi novel, as it doesn't focus on technology (apart from the merging of two species), though technology is used as the background - by technology I mean lasers and spaceships and the typical stuff. I suppose it's more of a space adventure, and to be honest I don't normally find these engaging, but this is tight and ingenious with some of its plot twists and story arcs.

Above all though, I think it's the writing, the way the author physically structure sentences, the words used to pull the story along, and the way there are bits of information introduced prior to them fully being realised in the narrative, which makes it a pleasure to read."

V.J. Waks had her Book Launch party for her new Fantasy TAU4 at MYSTERY AND IMAGINATION
in Glendale, CA. Thanks to all who attended!

"This book has now been linked with Phillip Pullman's books on Amazon! This should be a fascinating event. The author is exceeding bright and very creative. She will be reading, and giving a talk on writing and the genre." -Mystery And Imagination Newsletter Click here to access their site

	A note from the Author: It is never a given to have one's work read, although we put so much time and effort into the creation of the work, that it seems only natural the rest of the world should wish to. Thanks to all readers and visitors, for your interest in my work. To all those who wandered into Author's Avenue at Gencon in Indianapolis, to all those who stopped to ask an author what their story was, what their dreams were, and allowed us to reach out and touch you, as readers, with those dreams - my sincere thanks. I invite you, if you attended, if you asked but did not buy TAU4, to visit Gerda Tau here, at this site, and so visit me. Read the first chapters, enjoy them and dream with me, if you will, as I work to complete HAMMERSPACE, Book Two, in the continuing story of Gerda Tau. -VJWAKS About the Author Other works by V.J.
