Ex-Patriots
Ex-Patriots: A Novel | Peter Clines
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 Angeless survivors behind the walls of their fortress, the Mount. Since then, the heroes have been fighting to give the Mounts 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.

This is a really fun sequel. Clines does a great job of putting his heroes in situations that neutralize their powers. Captain Freedom is a nice addition to an already strong cast of characters.

I read the first in this series, “Ex-Heroes”, last year and have finally gotten around to finishing this second book. They‘re entertaining and quick reads, perfect for a flight, but not quality literature. It‘s post-apocalyptic with zombies and super-heroes, plenty of cliches, and a bit too much misogyny.

I am going to keep reading this superheroes vs. zombies series because the author delivers on that concept, plus I'm a sucker for gratuitous pop culture references. But I just can't shake the thought that these books are kind of written with the male gaze.
