The Infinite Sea (The 5th Wave #2) By: Rick Yancey Published: September 16, 2014 by Putnam Juvenile 320 pages Source: Personal Kindle Library ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: 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. MY REVIEW: As eager as I was for this release, and rushed to preorder a hardback copy, it then sat on my night stand for a year and a half. That has nothing to do w...
