In truth all those who are infected are not infected at all, just made to think they are to draw a wedge in humanity. They have implanted their consciousness into unborn children and wasn’t until puberty did they truly awake or that is what they want us to believe. The thing is the Aliens are already here and have been for years. Cassie sets off to rescue their brother only to be shot and then saved by Evan. As they wait, for the fifth wave to happen, the military starts training teens and kids to defend what’s left. The first four waves has killed off billions of people, separating the remaining humans into camps or on their own.
At first in the 5th Wave is just your standard alien hostile take over. So let’s talk about the reasons for the aliens interested in Earth. It still explores the trials of youth and romance and of course a love triangle. The Taking is really more of your standard YA fare with aliens in the background. They both have a very different approach to those questions as the The 5th Wave also piggybacks on the latest trend of YA Dystopia as well as sci-fi. Are they hostile? Do they come in peace? How do they go around getting a foothold into Earth. Reading both series so close together gave me a chance to read different views on Aliens. Not the best series I’ve read but entertaining. The Taking was okay but as the series went on it got better. The first book I thought was fantastic but was underwhelm by the follow The Infinite Sea. The 5th Wave is far more epic in scale and more ambitious but not necessarily as entertaining. Meanwhile, The Taking Trilogy, explores alien abductions and the possibility that those responsible are on their way. Billions have people have already died, leaving Cassie, Zombie, Sam, Ringer and Evan as humanities last stand. The Last Star is the finale to The 5th Wave, which follows a few teenage survivors after first four waves of an Alien invasion. The Last Star and The Countdown and the final books in trilogies about aliens coming to Earth but that’s really where the similarities end.
