Japan, 30th Jan 2025, - Jude Austin's novels have been acknowledged with several awards. The first book in her Five Worlds series, "Project Tau," received the BREW Readers' Choice Award for February 2022, and the second book in the series, "Homecoming," was selected as the BREW Readers' Choice Award Book of the Month for August 2022. The Chrysalis BREW Project stated, "Homecoming by Jude Austin unquestionably deserves to seize the prestigious BREW Readers' Choice Award Book of the Month title."

Furthermore, both "Project Tau" and "Homecoming" were included in the list of Difference Maker Award winners for 2019–2024 by Store with a Heart. The organization noted, "These incredible books remind us that storytelling is more than entertainment—it’s a catalyst for meaningful change."

Some of Austin's other awards include the following:


 


 

About “Project Tau” 

"Project Tau" is the inaugural novel in Jude Austin's Five Worlds series. The narrative follows Kalin Taylor (Kata) a college student who infiltrates GenTech's high-security laboratory to investigate the human cloning that goes on there, leading to deadly consequences. A review by Shrabastee Chakraborty from The Chrysalis BREW Project says that, "Animal ethics has always been a grey area in science, and this book generated a plethora of questions," describing the novel as "thought-provoking but, at the same time, quite alarming."

About “Homecoming” 

"Homecoming" is the second installment in Jude Austin's series. The story continues with Kata and Tau as they seek safety after escaping from GenTech while struggling to come to terms with the aftermath of their horrific experiences. Kajori Sheryl Paul from The Chrysalis BREW Project notes that "Jude Austin’s sensitive portrayal of depression, anorexia, and abuse is applaudable. She seamlessly mixes science with realism," while Terry Kimble from OnlineBookClub says, "Before reading the first book, I did not think I could ever become a sci-fi fan. I am now a convert!"

About "Nowhere to Hide"

"Nowhere to Hide" is the third and most recent installment in the Five Worlds series, and develops the setting even further as political intrigues begin to take hold and revelations are poised to shatter the titular five worlds, plunging Kata's life into chaos. Sarah Creeley of OBC notes that "Ms. Austin is a master at crafting new and interesting worlds with unique creatures." and Sarah Schmidt says, "How abuse, torture, and trauma victims cope in the aftermath of their pain and how they heal were done in such a believable way."
