The enemy is Other. The enemy is us. They’re down here, they’re up there, they’re nowhere. They want the Earth, they want us to have it. They came to wipe us out, they came to save us. But beneath these riddles lies one truth: Cassie has been betrayed. So has Ringer. Zombie. Nugget. And all 7.5 billion people who used to live on our planet. Betrayed first by the Others, and now by ourselves. In these last days, Earth’s remaining survivors will need to decide what’s more important: saving themselves…or saving what makes us human.

Will Henry hat bereits viel erlebt und dem Tod mehrmals entronnen. Doch dieses Mal muss er allein in die gefährlichen Tiefen des Monstrumariums hinabsteigen, um sich einem furchtbaren Monster zu stellen, das schlimmer ist, als er es sich je hätte vorstellen können.

How do you rid the Earth of seven billion humans? Rid the humans of their humanity. Surviving the first four waves was nearly impossible. Now Cassie Sullivan finds herself in a new world, a world in which the fundamental trust that binds us together is gone. As the 5th Wave rolls across the landscape, Cassie, Ben, and Ringer are forced to confront the Others’ ultimate goal: the extermination of the human race. Cassie and her friends haven’t seen the depths to which the Others will sink, nor have the Others seen the heights to which humanity will rise, in the ultimate battle between life and death, hope and despair, love and hate.

Dr. Warthrop jagt ein legendäres Monster, den "Heiligen Gral" der Monstrumologie, und lässt Will Henry in New York zurück.

Er begibt sich auf die Suche nach seinem Lehrmeister und reist nach Socotra, der Insel des Blutes.

"La primera ola fue solo un aviso. La segunda ola nos cogió desprevenidos. La tercera ola duró un poco más nos dejó sin razones por las que seguir vivos. La cuarta ola nos quitó todo aquello por lo que estábamos dispuestos a morir. La quinta ola nos ha sumido en un mar de nada infinito. Los Otros se han propuesto extermi nar a la humanidad. La cuestión ya no es si vivimos o morimos, sino de sobrevivir una hora, un día más. Pero seguimos aquí. Esta guerra ya no es de humanos contra alienígenas. Es la lucha de la esperanza contra la desolación. De la fe contra el miedo. Del amor contra el odio. Y nosotros somos el campo de batalla."--Cadadellibro.

Una cubierta alternativa para este ISBN puede encontrarse aquí Después de la primera ola, solo la oscuridad permanece. Después de la segunda sólo el que tiene suerte escapa. Y después de la tercera, sólo los que tienen mala suerte sobreviven. Después de la cuarta ola, sólo una regla se aplica: no confíes en nadie. Ahora, es el amanecer de la quinta ola, y en un tramo solitario de la carretera, Cassie huye de ellos. Los seres que sólo parecen humanos, que deambulan por el campo, matando a cualquiera que ven. Quiénes han dispersado a los últimos supervivientes de la Tierra. Permanecer sólo es seguir con vida, Cassie lo cree, hasta que conoce a Evan Walker. Cautivador y misterioso, Evan Walker puede ser la única esperanza de Cassie para rescatar a su hermano, o incluso a sí misma. Pero Cassie debe elegir: entre la confianza y la desesperación, entre el desafío y el rendirse, entre la vida y la muerte. Abandonar o levantarse.

Flesh-eating danger abounds in the chilling sequel to The Monstrumologist that is “as fast-paced, elegant, and yes, gruesome as its predecessor” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). While Dr. Warthrop is attempting to disprove that Homo vampiris, the vampire, could exist, his former fiancée asks him to save her husband, who has been captured by a Wendigo—a creature that starves even as it gorges itself on human flesh. Although Dr. Warthrop considers the Wendigo to be fictitious, he relents and performs the rescue—but is he right to doubt the Wendigo’s existence? Can the doctor and Will Henry hunt down the ultimate predator, who, like the legendary vampire, is neither living nor dead, and whose hunger for human flesh is never satisfied? This second book in The Monstrumologist series explores the line between myth and reality, love and hate, genius and madness.

When Dr. Warthrop goes hunting for the "Holy Grail of Monstrumology" in 1888, twelve-year-old orphan Will Henry follows him to Socotra, plunging into depths of horror worse than anything he has experienced so far.
