Ex-Isle

Ex-Heroes, Book 5

By: Peter Clines

Narrated by: Jay Snyder, Mark Boyett, Khristine Hvam

The spectacular fifth adventure in the genre-busting Ex-Heroes series.

The heroes are overjoyed when they discover another group of survivors living on a manmade island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. But there's something very, very wrong with this isolated community and its mysterious leader - a secret that could put every survivor in the world at risk.

Great continuation of series!

Peter Clines wrote another entertaining "EX" book. Love the humor. Love St. George. Recommend series.

A Worthy Addition

New and old villians, new and old heroes, and still a whole lot of zombies.

We get some glimpses of the early days of the settlement. All in all it is good to be reminded not only of what everyone is trying to do, but also how far they've come.

Most folks probably focus on the superhero aspect of this series, and rightly so. But I'm always struck at how the environment, I.E. the zombies, is the real, constant threat.

I'm noticing some narrative drift. It's minor, but I'm not feeling a sense of progress within the mount yet. They are making progress, but I'm feeling a sense of stagnation within the mount itself. Civilizations usually go through such things, so I don't think it's major. However I'm hoping for a breakthrough by the society itself. I feel like it is a payoff that we've been waiting on the story to deliver. I don't think the author is unaware of it, and I may be getting impatient.

It feels like the characters are still largely reacting to their circumstances. This installment tries to address this with a sense of philanthropy toward other survivors. I'm still left wanting more of...something. Safety? Rebuilding? I'm not sure. Something that feels like they're heading toward a permanent resolution to their circumstances. An Ex-virus vaccine would fit the bill, but that may just be wish fulfillment.

I have faith in Clines to deliver, though. He has every single time so far. :)

Interesting New Twist

I like the author is taking us out of LA on a more frequent basis with the characters we love. This is a fun addition to the Ex Heroes series!

If you ever enjoyed comic books

I really enjoy this series. If you have ever enjoyed comic books, like x-men, x-force, etc., I don't see how you can't enjoy this series.

fantastic find

stumbled across Peter Clines one day with Ex Heroes. I enjoyed this series very much.
