5th Wave Series by Rick Yancey [EPUB]

The 5th Wave is a series of novels by author Rick Yancey. The series started in May, 2013 with the first book, The 5th Wave. Since then, a sequel has been published and a final sequel is scheduled to be released on 24 May 2016.

A race of aliens known as "The Others" have invaded Earth in a series of "waves". With the first wave, an electromagnetic pulse (EMP wave) throws the world into darkness by knocking out all power, including vehicles, devices, etc. In the process, around half a million people die as all moving vehicles are shorted, including planes in the air.

For the second wave, The Others, realizing that over 40 percent of Earth's population lives within 60 miles of a coastline, drop metal rods three times as heavy and twice as tall as the Empire State Building on Earth's fault lines from their mothership. As a result, unimaginably large tsunamis and powerful earthquakes rage across the planet. This kills three billion people.

For a third wave, a deadly disease sweeps across the world, carried by birds. The disease goes by many names: the Red Death, the Red Tsunami, the Blood Plague, the Pestilence, and the Fourth Horseman, most common. The disease kills 97 percent of Earth's scattered survivors. The disease is thought to have been an already deadly virus (Ebola for example) genetically modified by The Others.

By the fourth wave, The Others, have scattered the last surviving humans. They have "downloaded" themselves (as they are able to separate their conscience from bodies) to humans and they have awakened, now picking off Earth's survivors, one-by-one.

The series follows Cassie Sullivan and several other young survivors of the first four waves as they desperately try to survive in a new world, reshaped by the Others.
