Ex-Patriots

De: Peter Clines

Narrado por: Jay Snyder, Khristine Hvam, Mark Boyett, Elisabeth Rodgers

It’s been two years since the world ended. Two years since the dead rose and the plague of ex-humanity decimated mankind. For most of that time, the superhero called St. George, formerly known to the world as the Mighty Dragon, has protected the people of Los Angeles at their film-studio-turned-fortress, The Mount. Together with his fellow heroes - Cerberus, Zzzap, and Stealth - he’s tried to give the survivors hope and something like a real life. But the swollen population of The Mount is becoming harder and harder to sustain, and the heroes are feeling the pressure.

Hope arrives in the form of a United States Army battalion, based in a complex a few hundred miles away in Arizona. This is not just any base, however. The men and women of Project Krypton are super-soldiers, designed and created before the outbreak to be better, stronger, and faster than normal humans. They want the heroes and all the people of The Mount to rejoin America and have normal lives again.

But can the military be trusted? And is there even a country left to rejoin? There is a secret at the heart of Project Krypton, and those behind it have an awesome power that will help them keep that secret hidden. The power of Freedom.

BONUS SHORT STORY: Ex-Patriots includes "Codependent", one of four interlocking stories from The Junkie Quatrain by Peter Clines.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Anyone who says there's nothing new in the world of zombie fiction hasn't read Peter Clines. Ex-Patriots is even better than its predecessor. This is a series that's going places." (Mira Grant, author of Feed and Deadline)

A Future for this Kid

What made the experience of listening to Ex-Patriots the most enjoyable?

The flawless duality of the narration that brings together multiple characters flawlessly.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Zap ties it all together, every other character holds their part, but he provides the backdrop

What about the narrators’s performance did you like?

The cast approach is done flawlessly

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It was well written

Any additional comments?

Peter Cline merges comic book heroes into reality in a way that makes you believe. I have read most of his work and find that while he writes to set worlds and paradigms, he does so in a way that is simple, direct, and entertaining. This writer will become big. Kudos to him and the editor who picked him out of the slush pile

great book

you can't go wrong with super heroes versus zombies the narrators do an excellent job

Excellent series

If you could sum up Ex-Patriots in three words, what would they be?

Superheros, monsters, action. There's a lot to like for a lot of genres, this is a series for just about anyone

Dank read

I loved it very much wish the villain wasn't so predictable though but otherwise good

Loved it.

I read the first and was thrilled with this one. Looking forward to the third book. Well done all around.

second book

if you have already listen to the first book and was hoping the fighting was going to continue you will be extremely satisfied. not to much fluff of a back story to listen to just strap in and get ready to hear superheroes trying to keep humans safe in the mount..

Very fun, worth the time to listen.

Would you listen to Ex-Patriots again? Why?

This was a great listen. The Narraters were enteraining and the story was really interesting. I like the comination of Super Hero's and Zombies. I am looking forward to the next in the series.

What other book might you compare Ex-Patriots to and why?

This is a very unique story, it had super heros and it had zombies, but it is unlike any Zombie or Super Hero book I have ever read. The super villan is great too.

What does Jay Snyder and Khristine Hvam bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

They add great personality to the characters.

Meh

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Not a bad listen just kind of bland story. Zombies vs superheroes can only go so far. Voice actor does a nice job.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Typical.

What does Jay Snyder and Khristine Hvam bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Voice actors have nice tones and do well with action.

Do you think Ex-Patriots needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No. Not much else to do with this story.

What a great concept!

Who would have thought that combining zombie fiction with super hero fiction would be such a successful combination. Two great tastes, but who would have thought that they would taste great together. A very entertaining listen. Peter Clines is an author to watch.

Elite level audiobook!

The first book in this series was good... the second one was great! Very entertaining story and very well performed.

A really fun superhero/zombie book... If you liked the show "Heroes" you will like this book.
