Our view

“Ex-Communication” keeps Peter Clines’s superheroes-versus-zombies series fun in its third instalment. St George and the other heroes now guard a growing town in Los Angeles, but one of them may be going mad, Legion has found new uses for zombies, and something ancient wants revenge. Some readers enjoy its world-building, its superhero banter and its well-drawn characters, though readers tired of zombies may feel the idea has lost its freshness. Start with the first book.

About the book

The third novel in Peter Clines' bestselling Ex series. “All of us try to cheat death. I was just better prepared to do it than most folks.” In the years since the wave of living death swept the globe, St George and his fellow heroes haven’t just kept Los Angeles’ last humans alive—they’ve created a real community, a bustling town that’s spreading beyond its original walls and swelling with new refugees. But now one of the heroes, perhaps the most powerful among them, seems to be losing his mind. The implacable enemy known as Legion has found terrifying new ways of using zombies as pawns in his attacks. And outside the Mount, something ancient and monstrous is hell-bent on revenge. As Peter Clines weaves these elements together in yet another masterful, shocking climax, St. George, Stealth, Captain Freedom, and the rest of the heroes find that even in a city overrun by millions of ex-humans... …there’s more than one way to come back from the dead.
