Description



Book Synopsis



The fourth novel in Peter Clines' bestselling Ex series.

When he's awake, George Bailey is just an ordinary man. Five days a week he coaxes his old Hyundai to life, curses the Los Angeles traffic, and clocks in at his job as a handyman at the local college.

But when he sleeps, George dreams of something more.

George dreams of flying. He dreams of fighting monsters. He dreams of a man made of pure lightning, an armored robot, a giant in an army uniform, a beautiful woman who moves like a ninja.

Then one day as he's walking from one fix-it job to the next, a pale girl in a wheelchair tells George of another world, one in which civilization fell to a plague that animates the dead...and in which George is no longer a glorified janitor, but one of humanity's last heroes.

Her tale sounds like madness, of course. But as George's dreams and his waking life begin bleeding together, he starts to wonder--which is the real world, and which is just fantasy?



Review Quotes




"Bound to appeal to fans of zombies and superheroes alike... If ever a book had the potential for a Hollywood blockbuster, this is it." --SF Signal on Ex-Heroes

"I was completely floored by this book's ingenuity and charm...exemplifies the real meaning of a page-turner." --Fantasy Book Critic on Ex-Heroes

"A fabulously geeky adventure about getting the superpowered band back together...Ex-Puragtory not only drops a host of Easter eggs for longtime fans, but it also makes for a satisfying entry point for new readers." --Kirkus

"The fourth episode in Cines' genre-blending Ex series puts an unusual twist on the superheroes/zombie apocalypse mashup... Clines has always written with a pop culture sensibility, but he's got a new air of confidence in his characters and world-building that allows the series to go off at a 90-degree angle and still stay faithful to its roots." --Publishers Weekly
