https://killingmykindle.com/2019/02/02/episode-2-03-misty-water-colored-memories/ Wherein I review: 6. Ex-Purgatory (Ex-Heroes #4) by Peter Clines 7. No Sunscreen for the Dead (Serge Storms #22) by Tim Dorsey 8. Treason’s Harbour (Aubrey & Maturin #9) by Patrick O’Brian 9. Ex-Isle (Ex-Heroes #5) by Peter Clines 10. Cadillac Desert by Marc Reisner Illness and big-ass books make for strange bedfellows.  Peter Clines brings his superheroes vs. zombies saga to a close – definitely for now and probably for good.  Serge keeps serging, spewing Florida trivia and murdering a-holes.  Aubrey & Maturin […]

Episode 2-02: 1/16th Choctaw

Ex-Communication by Peter Clines

Verses for the Dead by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child

https://killingmykindle.com/2019/01/19/episode-2-02-1-6th-choctaw/ Wherein I read: 4. Ex-Communication (Ex-Heroes #3) by Peter Clines 5. Verses for the Dead (Agent Pendergast #18) by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child As I type this sentence, I wonder why Peter Clines amazing superheroes battling zombies series hasn’t already been optioned and turned into your favorite series yet. As I type THIS sentence, I wonder if Preston & Child got notes from some marketing douche and wrote this book like “Is this what you wanted, you f**kface?”

https://killingmykindle.com/2019/01/10/episode-2-01-tell-me-lies-tell-me-sweet-little-lies/ CANNONBALL 11 HAS BEGUNNETHED. Wherein I review: 1. Ex-Patriots (Ex-Heroes #2) by Peter Clines 2. The Farm by Tom Rob Smith 3. A Delicate Touch (Stone Barrington #48) by Stuart Woods More delicious zombies vs. superheroes where we finally meet up with the military.  And they wisely utilize Arkham Asylumishness.  A son must decide whether his mother is being gaslit by his father or if her entire tale is a lie.  Stuart Woods keeps being all Stuart Woodsy.

You got some zombie in my superhero novel…

March 17, 2014 by Fofo Leave a Comment

Target: Peter Clines’ EX-Heroes (EX-Heroes #1) Profile: Superhero Fiction, Speculative Fiction, Zombie Apocalypse EX-Heroes falls very clearly in my reading category of ‘book candy.’  It’s light, entertaining, but lacking many qualities of actual literary goodness.  Well, actually the concept is executed rather well and Clines manages to tell a pretty compelling story within his somewhat limited framework, so maybe the novel isn’t all that lacking.  But at the end of the day, there’s very little here that hasn’t been explored before.  Points for novelty notwithstanding. The book bills […]
