Publisher Description
Earth is ruled by a ruthless board of machines who live by the unquestioned law of the ‘Records’. And man, through his own conceit, is long extinct.
The Scientist is a brilliant machine that recreates mankind using preserved DNA. Now the human race may walk the Earth again. But will the all controlling board allow mankind to survive? The Scientist finds himself in a race to recreate the very species that created him. Now the hope of mankind rests on the algorithm of one rogue machine.
The Scientist is a smart novel full of fast-paced action, mind bending science, and intriguing concepts which question the nature of our existence. Readers will be contemplating The Scientist long after they've read the final page.

Top 10 sci-fi book
My friend told me to read The Scientist, and at first I resisted, but after much insistence I finally gave in. And boy I’m glad I did because The Scientist is a book which resides in very rare air indeed. I have read science fiction for decades, and my library includes the likes of Jules Verne, Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke, and I can say that as far as sci-fi concepts go, The Scientist does 12 rounds, toe to toe, and punch for punch, with the best of them.
From the first page I was immediately transported into future Earth where machines are the dominant species and mankind is extinct. But a single human being, Eve, has emerged. And henceforth mankind’s struggle for survival commences. It’s an awesome concept in itself, but in the hands of Ryan Michael it’s masterful. The Scientist goes on to examine the unique relationship which exists between man and machine in this futuristic wasteland. But what struck me most of all were the parallels between our present world and the world presented in The Scientist. Our relationship with machine is indeed a fragile one, and ultimately we may depend on the machine for our survival. A great piece of art, The Scientist has jumped into my top 10 sci-fi list and I believe it will remain there for some time to come.
