Extensis Vitae: The Shattered Land

Extensis Vitae #2

by Gregory Mattix

Time is running out for Michael Reznik as he searches for a way to deactivate his body’s kill switch before his time literally expires. Reznik makes his way to the surface with the mysterious Rin as his guide and discovers a post-apocalyptic wasteland that is brutal and unforgiving, a land totally foreign to the country he knew. Gangs of vicious marauders and slavers, nefarious corporations, and mysterious creatures preying on people in the night will challenge Reznik every step of his journey. His potential allies are far outnumbered by the growing number of enemies standing in his way. As Reznik struggles to survive in this new world, Rin searches for her own redemption, to make up for past failures. Will Reznik be able to find his solution with the clock ticking down? Extensis The Shattered Land is the second volume in the gritty, action-packed Extensis Vitae series.

Amazing book, great series. I love the entire concept and all of the plot points. The relationships between characters is real, and it draws you in. I hope for many more books in this universe!

Excellent

The only reason for four stars is that the author, seemingly, trying to emulate Clancy or Michener by doing a "meanwhile back at ranch", didn't succeed completely. There was no indication of a change, and with the similarity in some of the names it got a tad confusing.

While I do appreciate the wider perspective of the world in this post-apocalyptic future, I still feel a bit disappointed in the lack of genuine adventure in the novel. Most difficulties and fights are resolved too conveniently.

Great Post Apocalyptic Sci Fi

Couldn't put it down! If you like Military SciFi, you'll love this. Good action, great story line and... no typos!
