Ex-Patriots: A Novel (Ex-Heroes)

<p><b>The second novel in Peter Clines' bestselling <i>Ex </i>series.</b><br><br>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. <br> <br>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.  <br> <br>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 <i>super-soldiers</i>, 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. <br> <br>But a dark secret lies at the heart of Project Krypton, and those behind it wield an awesome and terrifying power. </p>
