The 5th wave (The 5th Wave #1)
Richard Yancey, 2010
After an alien invasion radically changes Earth, one survivor must navigate a new world ruled by primal instinct, absolute distrust, and the ghosts of who she used to be.
Richard Yancey
The novel deals heavily with the trauma of mass displacement and the psychological toll of absolute isolation. Its blend of grounded survival and high-concept sci-fi was widely praised upon release.
Feels like dread, unease and war.
When the world shrinks, the memory of a face can feel like an orbit.
The stars seem a lot closer now. Closer than the three hundred trillion miles that separate us. Close enough to touch, for me to touch them, for them to touch me. They’re as close to me as his breath had been. Books by Richard Yancey
