These days, even the humans are built by robots.

Charlie7 is the progenitor of a mechanical race he built from the ashes of a dead world—Earth. He is a robot of leisure and idle political meddling—a retirement well-earned. Or he was, until a human girl named Eve was dropped in his lap.

Geneticists have restored Earth’s biome and begun repopulation. But primate cloning is in its infancy; human cloning is banned.

Far from a failed genetics experiment, Eve is brilliant, curious, and heartbreakingly naïve about her species’ history. But Eve’s creator wants her back and has a gruesome fate planned for her. There is only one robot qualified to protect her. For the first time in a thousand years, Charlie7 has a human race to protect.

A.I. didn’t destroy humanity.

It didn’t save us, either.

The robots we built in our final days preserved human minds. They survived the end of life on Earth and embarked on the greatest single project in all recorded history.

They rebuilt.

The result of 1,000 years of genetic engineering, terraforming, and painstaking toxic cleanup has resulted in the ultimate achievement of the Post-Invasion Age: a healthy human.

Her name is Eve14.

Don’t ask about the 13 Eves before her.

Or do, because that’s the reason why she’s in danger, and why one brave robot puts his millennium-long life on the line to save her.

Welcome back to the Golden Age of science fiction, when scientists had planet-sized dreams and robots were robots.

A fun read but didn't absorb me

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 12, 2023

Verified Purchase

While the author had a very readable style and was occasionally quite funny, the heady topics of immortal human souls trapped in robot bodies and the experiences of the reborn human race called for a more thoughtful treatment than he took time to give them. Instead, the book takes its hard Scifi concepts and reduces them to thought-provoking window-dressing to a brisk storyline focused on our new Eve's ongoing flight from the nefarious forces of this future Earth that are out to capture her. I'd say additionally that I found most of the characterizations to be two-dimensional, especially that of its villain.

This is an exceptional story – the first Human in a 1000yrs has a major impact on a re-imagined robot Earth – Outstanding!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 21, 2017

Extinction Reversed is a fascinating exploration of the future in which humanity no longer exists, and robots, sentient robots that have the memories of those that once inhabited Earth, are trying to rebuild the Earth to make it sustainable again for Humans.
The story is told from a variety of viewpoints, but mainly from an ancient robot, Charlie7. We learn that the Earth was attacked by an alien race, and during this attack, basically every human on the planet was killed, and there was a lot of damage done to the planet in the process. The robots however, have spent the last 1000 years gathering DNA of humans, plants, as well as rebuilding the damage and cleaning up all the toxins so it is safe to live again.
And this is where we kind of join this story. This new world that Morin has created is utterly captivating, and totally astounding, not only with the many different aspects of the rebuilt Earth, the structures that are being built to support a humanity that does not exist, but that the robots are hopeful will exist one day, but in the robots themselves.
I don’t want to give too much away, this is a wonderful story, and should be explored by the reader.
A bit of background on the robots, each of them comes from a select group of scientists/engineers that made this core program, so each robot has a main personality, and then a selection of other personalities. We learn about Toby22, who is mainly a Toby, but he is also 30% Joshua and 18% Brent. Others have a different mix, giving each robot a unique personality. Each robot also has a particular role or task on the planet as well. It makes for an extraordinary planetary wide hive of interconnected robots and personalities.
The incredible thing about this book, is that this is just the back-story. Morin has then taken it to the next level where he has evolved this universe, and added a human to the mix. One of the robots has illegally created a young human girl, and this is where the entire uniquely happy little world that the robots have going on is all about to come unstuck.
The story very quickly begins to revolve around Eve14, this new human female, her ‘Creator’, and Charlie7, as he tries to rescue her. There are multiple other characters as well involved in this planetary wide awe-inspiring rescue/chase as one side tries to save this precious human, and the other tries to get it back for their own nefarious reasons.
The character writing is exceptional as Morin explores Eve, and Charlie7 and their interactions at being the first human/robots to interact in a 1000yrs. The psychological interactions are truly inspired, and Morin’s writing is pure genius.
This is an outstanding book, and anyone who loves Sci-Fi, is a fan of Blade Runner or loves a good thriller, will definitely want to read this. In fact, do yourself a favour and just read this.

Exciting Concept with Some Unrealized Potential

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 3, 2019

Verified Purchase

The human race has been extinct for 1000 years. Robots rule in their place. What have these robots been doing all that time? Rebuilding the world, of course. And, critical to the plot of this novel, perfecting their cloning skills.

Enter Eve14, a 16-year-old human female clone, who at times seems more like a 12-year-old, and at other times seems more like a robot herself (she was raised in a genetics lab, so her social skills and emotional development are a bit subpar. Either that or this author hasn't spent much time with 16-year-old girls). She runs into Charlie7, who is something of an elder statesman among robots, and he shifts into nanny mode.

And also private detective mode, because where the hell did Eve14 come from in the first place? It's an ominous mystery. But only a little ominous, apparently, because Charlie7 has no qualms about leaving Eve14 alone in his home (which is inside the Arc de Triomphe because why not) where she is re-kidnapped. And the chase is on!

It's an intriguing concept to say the least. The world without humans! It brings up so many questions. At times, this novel presents clever and insightful answers -- like a congregation of robots singing hymns in Notre-Dame Cathedral -- and at times it ducks the issues. In particular the emotional experience of Eve14 is not fully developed.

That's my main complaint with this novel. It feels a bit lightweight. It provides an exciting adventure and some intriguing concepts, but it is sailing in deep waters and is content to just skim the surface.

A gripping good read.

Terrific.

It gripped me from start to finish. A well crafted world with creatively crafted characters. Yes, most of them are robots but that doesn't stop one caring about them.

I'm heading straight into book two.

Highly recommended.

What makes a human?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 21, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is a post post-apocalyptic, personal growth detective thriller, with an exquisite character as the McGuffin.

Mr. Morin writes well and describes a believable world. The plot held my interest and proceeded apace.

The characters were the best part. The two main protagonists were delightful. Their interactions charmed me. Even the villains earned a (small) share of empathy, as we could understand their motivations while disapproving of their actions.

The depiction of the robot society resonated. It seems the robotic characters were developed by mixing, in different proportions, the personalities of the original scientists whose minds were uploaded before aliens sterilized the planet. That mix largely determined their individual characteristics in a predictable fashion, which was an amusing notion.

This book reminds me of Asimov’s robot series, and seems worthy in that context. It reads lightly, but offers concepts worth pondering. I look forward to the next installment.

I must say that I received a free advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. After reading a draft of this review, my superior decided to buy a copy.

Fabulous SiFi with a twist

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 21, 2021

Verified Purchase

I am currently teaching this really interesting twist on the use of Robots in society. But here the Robots are the guardians of the earth after humanity were destroyed by alien invaders. The Robots brains contain the memories of various humans brains saved for when they can reintroduce humanity. The story is based around a robot Charles 7 and a cloned human female Eve 14. The story is about Charles7's attempt to find out whom created Eve 14 and his protection of her.
I haven't finished reading the book yet, so will add more to this review later.

Really enjoyed this book - I've always loved watching sci-fi films and TV series but it's never really translated into reading that genre. I started reading the author's Black Ocean series but it was this Robot Geneticists series that definitely captured my interest more. Some really great characters and an imaginative storyline. Look forward to reading more.

A thought provoking read.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 17, 2017

Verified Purchase

After all life was wiped out human consciousness lives on in a robot society. The story questions whether human nature can change, even when all humans have been wiped out? The hero has a distinctly high set of moral values, unlike the "mad" geneticists who believe they have the right to do whatever they want.

Great premise

Executed with aplomb. In short, the best book I’ve read in 2020 which considering the witless outside has resented this as one of the few opportunities to experience anything means I’ve read more than normal.

Great and quirky read.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 19, 2019

I really enjoyed this book, read it in the bathroom, on lunch breaks, even sneaked a few pages in at my desk! I lived the tech and the pseudo tech premises. The flow of humanity from extinct memory remnants in the robotic population to the new genesis was both cute and sinister. Looking forward to others in the promised series.
