In a world fallen victim to the Others, Cassie Sullivan is on the run. As human life crumbles around her, she must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death, in this thrilling and terrifying dystopian trilogy.

*To TIE-IN with the MAJOR MOTION PICTURE from SONY PICTURES starring CHLOE GRACE MORETZ (If I Stay).* 
 
THE 1st WAVE; Took out half a million people. 
THE 2nd WAVE; Put that number to shame. 
THE 3rd WAVE; Lasted a little longer. Twelve weeks . . . Four billion dead. 
IN THE 4th WAVE, You can't trust that people are still people. 
AND THE 5th WAVE? No one knows. But it's coming. 
 
On a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs. 
Runs from the beings that only look human, who have scattered Earth's last survivors. 
To stay alone is to stay alive, until she meets Evan Walker. Beguiling and mysterious, Evan may be her only hope. 
 
Now Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death.

The 5th Wave (Book 1)

Following the major motion picture release starring Chloë Grace Moretz, the heart-stopping finale to the bestselling 5th Wave series. 
 
We're here, then we're gone, and that was true before they came. That's always been true. The Others didn't invent death; they just perfected it. Gave death a face to put back in our face, because they knew that was the only way to crush us. It won't end on any continent or ocean, no mountain or plain, jungle or desert. It will end where it began, where it had been from the beginning, on the battlefield of the last beating human heart.

The 5th Wave: The Last Star (Book 3)

The hugely anticipated second book in in the phenomenal new series that began with The 5th Wave - from Carnegie-shortlisted Rick Yancey. 
For Cassie Sullivan and the rest of Earth's remaining human survivors, the situation was already desperate when the 5th Wave hit. It's about to get worse. 
No one yet knows the depths to which Earth's conquerors - the Others - will sink in order to rid the Earth of the human infestation, nor have they guessed the heights to which the human spirit can reach. Characters introduced in Book One will come to the fore - and others will face the ultimate test.
