The 5th Wave Award-winning by Rick Yancey (author)

After the first wave, only darkness remains. After the second, only the lucky escape. After the third, only the unlucky survive. After the fourth wave, the only rule is: trust no one. Now it’s the dawn of the fifth wave.

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 – until Cassie meets Evan Walker. Beguiling and mysterious, Evan may be her only hope for rescuing her brother and even saving herself. Now she must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender. The time has come to live or die, to give up or to get up.

So Cassie Sullivan gets up.

The Passage meets The Hunger Games in this gripping new series from Carnegie Medal shortlisted Rick Yancey.
