Book Overview
The riveting follow-up to the New York Times bestselling The 5th Wave, hailed by Justin Cronin as “wildly entertaining.”
How do you rid the Earth of seven billion humans? Rid the humans of their humanity.
Surviving the first four waves was nearly impossible. Now Cassie Sullivan finds herself in a new world, a world in which the fundamental trust that binds us together is gone. As the 5th Wave rolls across the landscape, Cassie, Ben, and Ringer are forced to confront the Others’ ultimate goal: the extermination of the human race.
Cassie and her friends haven’t seen the depths to which the Others will sink, nor have the Others seen the heights to which humanity will rise, in the ultimate battle between life and death, hope and despair, love and hate.

Was not disappointed at all.

While much shorter than the first book in the series, the detail and edge of your seat pace is just as strong as the 5th Wave. It will tug at your heart, it will enrage you, you can feel all of the characters. Beautifully written. Yancey has done it again! I started as soon as it came in the mail today around 2:30 pm Monday sept 18, and finished at 3am Sept 19. I could NOT put this book down. Now to start the final book of the trilogy. YASSSSS!
I You're a sci-fi/fantasy fan, I recommend this series 10/10.
