From Rick Yancey comes a tense and cinematic young adult sci-fi thriller about survival, trust, and what remains of humanity after the world is destroyed.

Cassie Sullivan is one of the few survivors left after an alien invasion wipes out most of Earth’s population in four devastating waves. The power is gone, cities have fallen, disease has spread, and the survivors no longer know who they can trust.

Now the fifth wave is coming.

Alone and determined to stay alive, Cassie has one goal: to find and rescue her little brother, Sammy. But in a world where the enemy can look human, trusting the wrong person can be deadly.

When she crosses paths with the mysterious Evan Walker, Cassie is forced to decide whether he is her best chance of survival or another danger waiting to destroy her. As the truth about the invasion begins to unfold, she realises the fight for humanity is far more complicated than she ever imagined.

Dark, suspenseful, and action-packed, The 5th Wave explores survival, fear, trust, and the courage to keep fighting when everything familiar has been taken away.
