I enjoyed the story. It was certainly different. This book was free, but if you want to find out what happens to the main character in it, you're left hanging from a hook. It was worth a free book, but if you want to read the next part of the story, you need to be ready to cough up around $10 on kindle. I'm not going to do it. This story isn't addicting.Product details

Extensis Vitae eBook Gregory Mattix Reviews
A quick read (193 pages), EXTENSIS VITAE (Book 1), was surprisingly fun and entertaining and is Mattix’s debut novel (novella). You can tell from the cover, so this isn’t a spoiler, the lead is a bit Mad Max in the post-apocalyptic future.
MSgt Michael Reznik, Delta Team, is a soldier who wakes up after a long slumber; memories slowly coming back, finding himself in a strange environment with ‘fake food’ and some unfriendly people. Oh, and his body seems completely foreign to him. I’ll stop there for your entertainment to continue if you read this book.
Ultimately he has skills that are desperately needed and must find answers surrounding missing colony members. After that he must find more answers before his time expires, setting the stage for Book 2.
Vague for a reason – I really don’t want to give much away. Elements of the character, the situations, etc are revealed throughout the read.
There is loads of violence and bloodshed which is always fun. Unless I fell for the obvious, there are a couple characters to be revealed with links to Reznik.
I would not hesitate to continue this storyline.

I didnt have any high hopes for this book when I started reading it because I dont read much of this kinds of genre but I was very surprised of how quick I got caught in the story. I felt drawn in into the story and did want to know what was going on and about Reznik and his past.
This book held lot of surprises for me and I have found a new genre of book I enjoy reading. This is the first book of a series and I will read the rest of them as soon as I can becaus they are really good and I like how the story drives itself forward.
I found the book bloody and horrible due to things that happens in the book so I must say this is not a book for weak people because there is blood and death, more than I am used to and describe in a way I am not used to.
I can really recommend this book because I really enjoyed it and how it pulled me in. Its a strong first book and I hope the rest is as good and intruguing. I am greatful for reading this book and fining a new genre of books I enjoy reading.
Interesting and worth a read. Combat sequences felt a little bit like a Doom module. I don't think the author has a good understanding of how an A-Team works and how it is structured. The helicopter shoot-down by the RPG is unsatisfying. I've interviewed a veteran who had the whole boom blown off of a UH-1 as it was flaring for landing--M-16 mine triggered and exploded. In addition to the expected spinning, the helicopter torqued about its longitudinal axis. Despite that, may because he was very lucky, no fragments from the mine reached the veteran--but it was a very intense experience for him. The mind's "tunneling in" that takes place in these violent situations was largely missing. But the nano-technology was interesting as was some exploration of the psychology of someone willing to go into deep freeze.
Typical rock em' sock em' sci fi. Quick read, but I don't like serial books that simply end and send you on to the next episode, particularly short reads like this. This is not Harry Potter or the Hobbit.
Overall, Extensis Vitae was a good read. Very reminiscent of Captain America soldier wakes up in the future in an enhanced body. The plot flowed well, and the characters were very intriguing. The author set the story up for a sequel well, without leaving the book's plot unfinished with a cliffhanger.
What I didn't like
There was a sex scene in chapter 7 (not graphic, more was implied than actually written) that was awkwardly written and unnecessary to either the plot or character development. It came out of nowhere as it seemed so out of character for one of the two involved.
Also, some of the fight and violence scenes were incredibly graphic (think it's and lots of blood and guts). The gore it did have wasn't enough for me to stop reading, but some chapters were extremely gross.
I really liked this book. The writing and editing both are exceptional for a first novel. It's a little bit short at less than 200 pages but still well worth the price. I liked that the "flash backs " were in italics. It made it much easier to read and kept everything flowing. I also liked that the "flash backs" furthered the story and provided important background and character development without taking anything away from the current events.
By the time you finish the story you realize that this is just an opening adventure in the world this author is building - but I'm happy about that. I'm looking forward to more. I don't feel that it ended so abruptly that there was no resolution to the current story - it's more like the opening salvo of a battle. And it is SO refreshing to have a strong male character that goes with the flow and just gets on with it rather than wallowing in self-doubt and self-pity with page after page of angst filled inner ramblings. This guy - and his female sidekick - are both strong and likable.
There is quite a Mad Max feel to this post apocalyptic tale but with plenty of tech to please those of us that like that kind of thing without the over explanation of how it all works. There are blood and guts and good gory fight sequences and weapons that actually don't work if they haven't been maintained properly and good guys and bad guys all woven together in a pretty darn good story.
I don't hesitate to recommend this as a good entertaining read.
I enjoyed the story. It was certainly different. This book was free, but if you want to find out what happens to the main character in it, you're left hanging from a hook. It was worth a free book, but if you want to read the next part of the story, you need to be ready to cough up around $10 on kindle. I'm not going to do it. This story isn't addicting.
