The Passage meets Ender's Game in an epic new series from award-winning author Rick Yancey.
After the 1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one.
Now, it's the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth's last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker. Beguiling and mysterious, Evan Walker may be Cassie's only hope for rescuing her brother--or even saving herself. But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or to get up.
"Wildly entertaining . . . I couldn't turn the pages fast enough."—Justin Cronin, The New York Times Book Review
"A modern sci-fi masterpiece . . . should do for aliens what Twilight did for vampires."—USAToday.com
DNF - at least for now. When I started this book I was BLOWN away by the creepiness and overall terrifying atmosphere that this book created. Thing were happening and the waves were terrifying and I was so intrigued.
And then the "romance" happened....and it took a turn for the worse. It was an insanely weird and creepy insta-love/kidnapping something or other thing that was supposed to be romantic and was absolutely not. I think with everything else being so weird and creepy, I needed some normalcy in the romance. Believable romance, an un-perfect one, but not weird and creepy like everything else. I just couldn't pick it up after that. I want to simply because every one has raved about it, but I'm not so sure it's going to happen.
