The Fifth Wave

Book • 2013
The novel follows Cassie Sullivan, a 16-year-old girl, as she navigates a post-apocalyptic world where aliens have decimated the Earth's population through four waves of destruction.

The first wave knocked out electricity, the second caused tsunamis that destroyed coastal cities, the third introduced a deadly plague, and the fourth involved 'Silencers,' humans implanted with an alien consciousness to kill other humans.

Cassie's mission is to find her younger brother, Sam, who was taken to a refugee camp.

Along the way, she meets Evan Walker, a mysterious figure who may be her only hope for survival and rescue.

The story explores themes of trust, survival, and the human condition in the face of catastrophic events.
