Publisher's Summary

Stealth. Gorgon. Regenerator. Cerberus. Zzzap. The Mighty Dragon. They were heroes. Vigilantes. Crusaders for justice, using their superhuman abilites to make Los Angeles a better place. Then the plague of living death spread around the globe. Despite the best efforts of the superheroes, the police, and the military, the hungry corpses rose up and overwhelmed the country. The population was decimated, heroes fell, and the city of angels was left a desolate zombie wasteland like so many others.

Now, a year later, the Mighty Dragon and his companions must overcome their differences and recover from their own scars to protect the thousands of survivors sheltered in their film studio-turned-fortress, the Mount. The heroes lead teams out to scavenge supplies, keep the peace within the walls of their home, and try to be the symbols the survivors so desperately need. For while the ex-humans walk the streets night and day, they are not the only threat left in the world, and the people of the Mount are not the only survivors left in Los Angeles. Across the city, another group has grown and gained power. And they are not heroes.

Great Read/Listen!

Wasnt quite sure what to expect but imagine any zombie franchise meets Marvel universe. Basicaly zombies and superheroes. The narration is a little bit hard to follow at times with all the dialogue between characters but i got used to it pretty quickly. A male and female narrator works very well as there is good mix of character genders. All the heroes are unique and well defined and each has their own dynamic which i really liked. I quickly came to like each one as enjoyed hearing their respective backstory. Solid 5 stars, on to book 2!

Super heroes, Evil people with evil powers.

The story is good science fiction. The characters good and bad are pretty well written. The narrator reads the series really well bringing the characters (The good the
bad and the living dead the living living and the super heroes) to life.

Not bad, not amazing

I am a fan of Peter Clines, but ExHeroes has good, but not amazing. I like the premise of super heroes and zombies, what better mix in todays world. I have yet to decide if I will invest more time in the series and will revisit in the future

Dying for this to become a movie!

This book is like The Walking Dead meets the Marvel universe. I am happy with this series. #Audible1
