The 5th Wave: The Last Star (Book 3)

By: Rick Yancey

Narrated by: Ben Yannette, Phoebe Strole

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.

A good listen!

I really enjoyed listening to this story.. it was so good. Full of action and some funny moments and dialogue. What made it really enjoyable was the narrators telling the story. They did it well. The action scenes were described well , I could imagine it better than if I read the book by myself. So really well done .
I also liked that this book had Ringers p.o.v. Bens p.o.v. Evan walker's p.o.v. Sams. p.o.v. and of course Cassies. whos story was my favourite part.
The ending was not what I expected and it was sad but I understand why it happened the way it did.
I'm kind of sad that it's over. I really enjoyed getting to know the characters in their point of view for a few chapters.
Even though I didn't read the infinite sea at all , I could still figure out what happened. it was easy to catch up.
Overall it was well written, well read and enjoyable. Can't wait for the movies. . !
