About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Following the major motion picture release starring Chloë Grace Moretz, the heart-stopping finale to the bestselling 5th Wave series.

We're here, then we're gone, and that was true before they came. That's always been true. The Others didn't invent death; they just perfected it. Gave death a face to put back in our face, because they knew that was the only way to crush us. It won't end on any continent or ocean, no mountain or plain, jungle or desert. It will end where it began, where it had been from the beginning, on the battlefield of the last beating human heart.

Critic Reviews

Wildly entertaining... I couldn't turn the pages fast enough
A modern sci-fi masterpiece... should do for aliens what Twilight did for vampires.
Nothing short of amazing
An epic sci-fi adventure about a terrifying alien invasion. You'll read it in one sitting
Remarkable, not-to-be-missed-under-any-circumstances
A gripping SF trilogy about an Earth decimated by an alien invasion... the question of what it means to be human is at the forefront
This is DAMN and WOW territory. Quite simply, one of the best books I've read in years (Melissa Marr, New York Times bestselling author.)
This book is scary!
A fantastic read. The 5th Wave is an electrifying page-turner (Kathy Reichs, New York Times bestselling author)
Yancey's heartfelt, violent, paranoid epic, filled with big heroics and bigger surprises, is part War of the Worlds, part Starship Troopers, part Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and part The Stand . . . a sure thing for reviewers and readers alike.

If I have to hear "an infinite sea..." again it'll be too soon. I loved the story and Phoebe and Ben's narration were on point again. I'm sad it's over but I think it wrapped up nicely. There could be more story if Rick Yancey decided to release more but it's really not needed. Ringer's story felt like the most emotional - despite her emotions being dampened for a lot of the books - and I just felt the most for her towards the end. Cassie got a little whiny to me but she redeemed herself. All of the guys had wonderful arcs and I enjoyed watching all of the characters grow and mature.
