<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In a Los Angeles ravaged by a zombie plague, a group of former superheroes protect the survivors.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"<i>The Avengers</i> meets <i>The Walking Dead</i> with a large order of epic served on the side. . . . I loved it!"--Ernest Cline, <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author of <i>Ready Player One</i> <p/>The first novel in Peter Clines' bestselling <i>Ex </i>series.<br></b><br>Stealth. Gorgon. Regenerator. Cerberus. Zzzap. The Mighty Dragon. They were heroes, using their superhuman abilities to make Los Angeles a better place. <p/>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. <p/>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. <p/>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. <p/><b>"Zombies? Check. Superheroes? Check. Awesome?
