The novel “Homecoming” by Jude Austin was published for the first time in 2020. It’s the second book in the Projects series and follows “Project Tau”.

Kalin Taylor, now known as Kata, managed to escape from the GenTech laboratory where he was used as a guinea pig for a biological experiment and trained to be sold as a slave. He brought with him Tau, one of the Projects created using advanced biotechnology.

Kalin/Kata just wants to return to his home planet Trandellia but the journey is long and complex. The welcome is not the best because his planet’s rulers want to exploit his new abilities: officially, he’s dead and if he wants his citizenship to be restored and Tau is allowed to live on Trandellia, he must go to the wild planet Atthiras and find the missing daughter of an ambassador.
