The 5th wave

11.40

Cassie is the girl who lost it all. Her world ripped apart. Her mother and father dead. Her little brother captured. On a lonely stretch of highway, she runs from ‘them’ – the beings that 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 – until she meets Evan Walker. Beguiling and mysterious, Evan may be Cassie’s only hope for rescuing her brother – or even saving herself. Now she must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or to get up.
