The Infinite Sea: The Second Book of the 5th Wave

In the riveting sequel to the New York Times bestselling The 5th Wave, Cassie and her crew have survived four waves of destruction aimed at eliminating humanity. With the 5th already on it way . . . will they survive once more?

“Heart-pounding pacing, lyrical prose, and mind-bending twists.”—The New York Times Book Review

“Impressively improves on the excellent beginning of the trilogy.”—USA Today

How do you rid the Earth of seven billion humans? Rid the humans of their humanity.

Cassie Sullivan and her companions lived through the Others’ four waves of destruction. Now, with the human race nearly exterminated and the 5th Wave rolling across the landscape, they face a choice: brace for winter and hope for Evan Walker’s return, or set out in search of other survivors before the enemy closes in. Because the next attack is more than possible—it’s inevitable.

No one can anticipate the depths to which the Others will sink, nor the heights to which humanity will rise, in the ultimate battle between life and death, hope and despair, love and hate.
