After the 1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one. Now, it's the dawn of the 5th wave.
On a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth's last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, until Cassie meets Evan Walker.
Beguiling and mysterious, Evan may be her only hope for rescuing her brother and even saving herself. Now she must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death.
The third book in the Printz Honor-award winning series, this
gothic, gory novel is "articulately literary, horrificially
grotesque, and mind-bendingly complex" (Kirkus Reviews").
When Dr. Warthrop goes hunting for the "Holy Grail of
Monstrumology" with his eager new assistant, Arkwright, he leaves
Will Henry in Victorian New York. Finally, Will can enjoy something
that always seemed out of reach: a normal life with a real family.
But part of Will can't let go of Dr. Warthrop, and when Arkwright
returns, claiming that the doctor is dead, Will is devastated--and
not convinced.
Determined to discover the truth, Will travels to London, knowing
that if he succeeds, he will be plunging into depths of horror
worse than anything he has experienced so far. His journey takes
him to Socotra, the Isle of Blood, where human beings are used to
make nests and blood rains from the sky--and puts Will Henry's
loyalty to the ultimate test.
"These are the secrets I have kept. This is the trust I never
betrayed. But he is dead now and has been for nearly ninety years,
the one who gave me his trust, the one for whom I kept these
secrets. The one who saved me . . . and the one who cursed me."
So starts the diary of Will Henry, orphan and assistant to a doctor
with a most unusual specialty: monster hunting. In the short time
he has lived with the doctor, Will has grown accustomed to his late
night callers and dangerous business. But when one visitor comes
with the body of a young girl and the monster that was eating her,
Will's world is about to change forever. The doctor has discovered
a baby Anthropophagus--a headless monster that feeds through a
mouth in its chest--and it signals a growing number of
Anthropophagi. Now, Will and the doctor must face the horror
threatenning to overtake and consume our world before it is too
late.
"The Monstrumologist" is the first stunning gothic adventure in a
series that combines the spirit of HP Lovecraft with the
storytelling ability of Rick Riorden.
While Dr. Warthrop is attempting to disprove that Homo vampiris,
the vampire, could exist, his former fiancee asks him to save her
husband, who has been captured by a Wendigo--a creature that
starves even as it gorges itself on human flesh. Although Dr.
Warthrop considers the Wendigo to be fictitious, he relents and
performs the rescue--but is he right to doubt the Wendigo's
existence? Can the doctor and Will Henry hunt down the ultimate
predator, who, like the legendary vampire, is neither living nor
dead, and whose hunger for human flesh is never satisfied? This
second book in The Monstrumologist series explores the line between
myth and reality, love and hate, genius and madness.

In their final horrific adventure, can Will Henry endure a
monstrumological terror without his mentor? "Beyond a simple
finale, this is a brave statement about the duplexity of good and
evil, and the deadly trap in which all of us are snared"
("Booklist," starred review).
Will Henry has been through more than seems possible for a boy of
fourteen. He's been on the brink of death on more than one
occasion, he has gazed into hell--and hell has stared back at him,
and known his face. But through it all, Dr. Warthrop has been at
his side.
When Dr. Warthrop fears that Will's loyalties may be shifting, he
turns on Will with a fury, determined to reclaim his young
apprentice's devotion. And so Will must face one of the most
horrific creatures of his monstrumology career--and he must face it
alone.
Over the course of one day, Will's life--and Pellinor Warthrop's
destiny--will hang in the balance. In the terrifying depths of the
Monstrumarium, they will face a monster more terrible than any they
could have imagined--and their fates will be decided.
The riveting follow-up to the New York Times bestselling The 5th
Wave, hailed by Justin Cronin as "wildly entertaining." 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. Praise for The Infinite Sea
