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. Direct download links available for Ex-Patriots: A Novel [Kindle Edition] Epub Free

Peter Clines took the zombie/post-apocalyptic world by storm with his debut novel Ex-Heroes, which chronicled the zombie apocalypse through the eyes of a fascinating cast of superheroes. Now Clines is back with Ex-Patriots, the highly anticipated sequel to Ex-Heroes.
St. George, Stealth, Cerberus and Zzzap have largely established a safe zone in the part of L.A. they control, with the zombies - sorry, ex-humans - kept at a distance from the living. They're soon taken out of that safe zone when a military plane makes contact. The heroes find out that they're not the only super-powered beings to survive the apocalypse. At a secret military installation, the government has been creating their own super-soldiers, plus a few other disturbing projects.
Ex-Heroes was a very effective novel, giving us realistic and unforgettable characters, both good, evil and points in-between, not to mention sharp dialogue, plenty of unexpected twists, and a truly epic final confrontation. With Ex-Patriots, Clines delivers all of that and more, adding government intrigue, secret plots, and even more powerful characters. The book hooks you from the very first page, and is one of those rare novels that you feel completely compelled to barrel through to the end. Encountering St. George and company was like catching up with old friends, and new characters like Captain Freedom and his team are instant favorites.
Once again Clines delivers the perfect mix of action, super-heroics, intrigue and of course all-out zombie mayhem. If you were a fan of Ex-Heroes, Ex-Patriots is an absolute must-have.
When it comes to writing fiction, Peter Clines is an abstract artist. A brand new author who dares to defy the conventional in order to find his own unique style of writing. His debut Ex-Heroes was anything but ordinary, it combined the traditional zombie splatter-fest with superhero fiction, it was the kind of story you'd expect to come from a graphic novel. No, it technically wasn't original, but Clines was the first I've seen to truly do the concept justice, and now he's back with a sequel, Ex-Patriots. Despite some missteps, fans of Ex-Heroes should be satisfied.
With communication established with a U.S. Army, it would seem it's time for the superheroes to hang up their coats and let them take over as the guardians of Los Angeles's survivors, yet appearances can be deceiving. The creation of super-soldiers is merely the beginning, what's really going on at Project Krypton? Can the United States Army be trusted? And are they the real enemy?
A personal criticism I had for Ex-Heroes was its run-of-the-mill storyline. It found its own identity towards the latter half, but for the most part Ex-Heroes was a very strong character driven story instead of a plot-driven one. Ex-Patriots on the other hand doesn't suffer from a typical zombie apocalypse plot that you've probably already seen a million times already. The story this time is definitely strong enough to stand on its own without the added awesome factor of superheroes fighting zombies. That being said, there's a bizarre story-arc that's completely dropped without giving any further exposition or closure. The book's synopsis describes the inhabitants of the Mount growing irrationally dissatisfied with living under the heroes' leadership.
