This is the fifth book in the Ex-Heroes series. I continue to enjoy this crazy post-apocalyptic blend of zombie survival and superhero themes. The books are fun and easy to read and always action-packed.

This book deals with two main issues. The first is the expansion of the Mount into another area called New Eden. The Mount is strapped for resources and needs the gardens/food that New Eden can supply. However, New Eden is not well fortified and something fishy is going on with the super soldiers who are stationed there.

The second story involves Zzzap's continuing search for survivors outside of the Mount. He finds a strange island that appears to be populated by a number of people. Him and St. George go out to offer these people help but find out that the situation is not as it first seems.

The story is fun and fast-paced and I enjoyed reading about all my favorite super heroes. There isn't a ton of character development, aside from Danielle's struggle with not having Cerebus to wear.

My only complaint is I feel like each book has a somewhat similar themed story. Since I only read one book each year in this series that's fine with me. I think if you were going to read the series back to back you might get a bit bored with the similarities.

Overall I enjoyed the story and recommend to fans of the series. I love the zombie/superhero mash-up and all the action in here. I would recommend to fans of superhero or zombie stories.
