About this ebook
The second novel in Peter Clines' bestselling Ex series.
It's been two years since the plague of ex-humans decimated mankind. Two years since the superheroes St. George, Cerberus, Zzzap, and Stealth gathered Los Angeles’s survivors behind the walls of their fortress, the Mount.
Since then, the heroes have been fighting to give the Mount’s citizens hope, and something like a real life. But now supplies are growing scarce, the zombies are pressing in . . . and the heroes are wondering how much longer they can hold out.
Then hope arrives in the form of a surviving US Army battalion--and not just any battalion. The men and women of the Army's Project Krypton survived the outbreak because they are super-soldiers, created before mankind's fall to be better, stronger, faster than normal humans--and their secure base in Arizona beckons as a much needed refuge for the beleaguered heroes and their charges.
But a dark secret lies at the heart of Project Krypton, and those behind it wield an awesome and terrifying power.

I devoured Ex-Heroes yesterday and immediately plunked down the $8.50 for Ex-Patriots. I really like the ideas behind these books. I will get the third when it comes out in July. **Spoiler** This novel doesn't break much new ground over Ex-Heroes. The structure of the book is nearly identical. The core group of protagonists and antagonists is nearly unchanged. Many of the issues and concerns from the first book are left unresolved.

Great twist on the zombie genre with superheroes/ heroines.

Loved the characters and the way the author pokes fun at cliche zombie stories and culture while at the same time bringing something new to the table. Incredible series.
