The men and women of the Army's Project Krypton survived the outbreak because they are super-soldiers, created before mankind's fall to be better, stronger, faster than normal humans - and their secure base in Arizona beckons as a much-needed refuge for the beleaguered heroes and their charges.

Review of 'Expatriots' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Better than the first, but still some work to go. You can definitely see the progression of Clines as a writer, but still not his best work. Rehashing a villain and the soldiers that obey without thinking are a bit trite. Not sure about continuing.
