Ex-Purgatory: A Novel (Ex-Heroes)

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?
