The
Passage meets The Hunger Games in The 5th
Wave - a gripping new series from
Carnegie-shortlisted Rick Yancey.
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. To give up or to get
up.
