"The Avengers meets The Walking Dead with a large order of epic
served on the side. . . . I loved it!"--Ernest Cline, New York Times
bestselling author of Ready Player One
The first novel in Peter Clines' bestselling Ex series.
Stealth. Gorgon. Regenerator. Cerberus. Zzzap. The Mighty Dragon. They
were heroes, using their superhuman abilities to make Los Angeles a
better place.
Then the plague of living death spread around the globe. Billions died,
civilization fell, and the city of angels was left a desolate zombie
wasteland.
Now, a year later, the Mighty Dragon and his companions protect a last
few thousand survivors in their film-studio-turned-fortress, the Mount.
Scarred and traumatized by the horrors they've endured, the heroes fight
the armies of ravenous ex-humans at their citadel's gates, lead teams
out to scavenge for supplies--and struggle to be the symbols of strength
and hope the survivors so desperately need.
But the hungry ex-humans aren't the only threats the heroes face. Former
allies, their powers and psyches hideously twisted, lurk in the city's
ruins. And just a few miles away, another group is slowly amassing power
. . . led by an enemy with the most terrifying ability of all.
"Zombies? Check. Superheroes? Check. Awesome? Check. Ex-Heroes has
it all. You're in for a treat!"--Mira Grant, New York Times
