![]() ![]() It is basically a story of a young person trying to survive under extremely adverse and painful conditions, and her internal processes. The fact that Tay is a clone is really only significant in terms of her mental and emotional state: she is not altered to be abnormal in any way (the experiment was about finding an arthritis treatment) and she does not get captured by evil scientists/government agents/terrorists as often goes in these stories. The plot synopsis makes this sound much more science-fictiony than it is. When rebels destroy the station Tay, her brother, and an orangutun who lives at the station must make a long and dangerous journey through the jungle to get help. We find out immediately that Taylor is a clone of a famous scientist, but the focus quickly shifts to her life at a primate research station in Borneo. ![]()
