ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey follows Cassie Sullivan, a teenage girl surviving in a world devastated by an alien invasion. After a series of catastrophic waves—an electromagnetic pulse, tsunamis, a plague, and human betrayal—Cassie must navigate a desolate landscape filled with danger. Her goal is to rescue her younger brother, Sammy, who has been taken by the alien forces. Themes of survival, trust, and betrayal are central, with Cassie facing emotional and psychological challenges. As alliances shift and enemies are hard to distinguish, she struggles to hold onto her humanity in a fractured world.
