"The Fifth Wave"

Aliens, An Apocalypse, and Possibly the Last Girl on Earth.

     Rick Yancey's young adult Sci-Fi novel, “The Fifth Wave” is both intriguing and well written. A page turner, (much like this book) I finished it within about three days.
      
     The book follows Cassie, a girl who to her knowledge is the only survivor of the apocalypse, on her quest to carry out a promise of saving her younger brother. The apocalypse is in it's fourth wave, and a fifth seems imminent. Alien invaders appear human, and are hunting for survivors, meaning Cassie can trust no one. The story twists and turns with multiple surprises in store for readers.

     I would highly recommend this book, although it is the first in a trilogy, so be prepared to invest time in it's upcoming sequel, “The Infinite Sea” which you can preorder on both Barnes&Noble and Amazon. The sequel is available September 16, 2014.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Susannah Grant is adapting "The Fifth Wave" into a screenplay, so we can most likely plan on seeing a "The Fifth Wave" movie in the future.
