The Passage meets Ender’s Game in the first book in an epic series by 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.
When the mother ship first appeared in the sky, thoughts were confirmed that humans aren’t alone in the universe. After nothing immediately happened, most people took it as a good sign that peaceful contact could be made. News channels exhausted their efforts to make sense of the arrival while viral videos sprung up poking fun at who these “aliens” could be. Most people went on with their lives. Then the first wave hit and turned off all the power. The second wave effectively wiped out the largely populated cities on the world’s coasts. The entire world’s population was nearly wiped out through a mysterious plague in the third wave, and the remaining survivors are now slowly being picked off one by one in the fourth.

Now, hope is as fleeting as the last humans on earth, and for Cassie, short for Cassiopeia, that means that no one can be trusted. Cassie used to spend her time longing after Ben Parish, a boy who didn’t even know who she was. After watching her mother succumb to the plague, her father killed in a semi sonic blast and her brother kidnapped by the aliens, Cassie has long forgotten about Ben Parish. Her focus now is survival — survival as potentially the last human on earth and the survival of her brother, Sammy, who she swore to find and rescue.
Ben Parish didn’t know who Cassie was, and it didn’t matter. He was confident he was dead anyway. The plague had taken hold, and with a one in 10 survival rate, the odds were stacked against him. Yet somehow, he was spared and suddenly his life took on new importance. Recruited into what could be the last working military base, Ben is now training to fight back. Stripped of his identity and will, Ben has now become the Zombie, a soldier created specifically to hunt down and kill the aliens who have infested earth. Humanity’s last hope rests on his shoulders.
Singular in their focus, both Cassie and Ben have decided it is time to fight. The first four waves may have tried to snuff out the will to live, but you can never underestimate the human spirit. The 5th wave is coming, though, and no one is prepared for what happens next.
