The Mother ship is sitting in the sky. What do the "Others' want? Can we be peaceful? The 1st Wave caused humans to lose all electricity. There are planes falling from the sky and cars and trucks that have just stopped on the highways. Transportation that we once knew is no more. The 2nd Wave is coastal destruction. The 3rd Wave was a terrible disease that was passed to humans from birds. This virus is similar to Ebola and most humans never survive the illness. Cassie's mother didn't. The 4th Wave is the Silencers. These are assassins who are sent to kill those remaining people. Cassie lost her father to the Silencers.
What is the 5th Wave? How do the "Others" understand human nature so well? Why do they want to rid the planet of humans? Cassie is a plucky survivor who only wants to get to her brother and save him from the horrors of the camp. She knows there are others like her, but how will she know they aren't "Others?"
This book is the first in a series, so there is a cliffhanger at the end of the first book. I must prepare for the nightmares because I am going to read the second book in the series as soon as I can. Join me, won't you?
