Extinction Reversed

Project Transhuman, Book 1

By: J.S. Morin

Narrated by: Mikael Naramore

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.

Extinction Reversed

I really love the worldbuilding in this book, and it was only enhanced by the excellent narration. I found the concept of a robot society working to bring back humanity to be fascinating and the execution was excellent. I enjoyed watching different characters’ perspectives being explored, especially Eve14 as she experienced the world for the first time. I was left very curious from the hints given about Charlie7’s past, and I’m hoping that gets expanded upon as the series continues.
I received a free Audible copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Another great series from J.S.Morin

This series is feeling a void I've had since starting to listening to Morin's books.

Truly Enjoyable!

Another great story for Morin that is a bit of Alita mixed with Cinder but more palatable than Cinder to me. Mikael Naramore is spot on with his inflections and narrating style.

Stellar Performance

I thought the narration of this novel was spectacular. It's unfortunate that the story wasn't as special. This has the makings of a great story. I love the concept, but the way it was written just didn't capture my attention until very late in the story. I feel like there's a heavy emphasis on the technical/scientific details of "project transhuman" to the detriment of the story. It could have worked, but it fell flat for me in this case.

Do not buy

This book is available as a full set.
Eve 14
Good book, looking forward to the whole series. Hoping to get my credit back.

DO NOT waste your time

The narration is terrible but the storyline is far worse. It might get a B- for a high schooler’s attempt at writing an overly longer essay but it’s not worth more than that.

Forget this one

robots wanting to be human is not a good story idea. these were some condescending rejects. I hope all get recycled so we do not have to waste time on hearing another story like this.

Not For Me

Our heroes are robots. I couldn’t identify with them or the story. Narration was okay.
