Die erste Welle brachte Dunkelheit. Die zweite Zerstörung. Die dritte ein tödliches Virus. nach der vierten Welle gibt es nur noch eine Regel fürs Überleben: Traue niemandem! Das hat auch Cassie lernen müssen, denn seit der Ankunft der Anderen hat sie fast alles verloren: Ihre Freunde und ihre Familie sind tot, ihren kleinen Bruder haben sie mitgenommen. Das Wenige, was sie noch besitzt, passt in einen Rucksack. Und dann begegnet sie Evan Walker. Er rettet sie, nachdem sie auf der Flucht vor den Anderen angeschossen wurde. Eigentlich weiß sie, dass sie ihm nicht vertrauen sollte. Doch sie geht das Risiko ein und findet schon bald heraus, welche Grausamkeit die fünfte Welle für sie bereithält ...

Soms denk ik dat ik de laatste mens op aarde ben. Dat betekent dat ik de enige mens in het universum ben. Dat is onzin, ik weet het. Ze kunnen niet iedereen gedood hebben nog niet. De eerste golf: de wereld wordt gehuld in duisternis De tweede golf: als je geluk hebt weet je te ontsnappen De derde golf: als je pech hebt overleef je De vierde golf: er geldt nog maar één regel vertrouw niemand Nu de vijfde golf eraan komt, is Cassie op de vlucht voor Hen, de wezens die er menselijk uitzien maar het niet zijn. Zij die het land doorkruisen om eenieder te vermoorden die ze tegenkomen. Cassie gelooft dat er maar één manier is om te overleven: door alleen te blijven. Maar dan ontmoet ze Evan Walker, de verleidelijke en mysterieuze vreemdeling die haar enige hoop is om haar vijfjarige broertje te helpen bevrijden. En haar enige hoop om zelf te overleven. Maar Cassie moet kiezen tussen vertrouwen en wanhoop, tussen verzet of overgave. Tussen leven... en dood. De vijfde golf, dat al maanden op de Amerikaanse bestsellerlijsten staat, is een meeslepend, aangrijpend en episch verhaal over verlies, ondenkbare dilemma''s en moed. #5degolf

El primer libro de una espectacular serie épica. Después de la primera ola... la tierra queda a oscuras. Después de la segunda ola... solo huyen los afortunados. Después de la tercera ola... solo sobreviven los desafortunados. Después de la cuarta ola... ya no puedes confiar en nadie. En el amanecer de la quinta ola, Cassie está huyendo por un tramo desolado de autovía. Huye de ellos. De esos seres que, aunque parezcan humanos, deambulan por el campo eliminando a cualquiera, dispersando y aislando a los escasos supervivientes. Cassie sabe que la única opción para seguir con vida es seguir sola. Sin confiar en nadie. Hasta que se encuentra con Evan Walker, un enigmático joven que parece capaz de ayudarla a encontrar a su hermano. Ha llegado el momento de tomar una elección definitiva: confiar o perder la esperanza, desafiar o rendirse... Abandonar o luchar. Han tomado todo por lo que merece la pena vivir y ahora quieren todo por lo que merece la pena morir.
