'Wildly entertaining . . . I couldn't turn the pages fast enough' The New York Times
The enemy is Other. The enemy is us. They're down here, they're up there, they're nowhere. They want the Earth, they want us to have it. They came to wipe us out, they came to save us.
But beneath these riddles lies one truth: Cassie has been betrayed. So has Ringer. Zombie. Nugget. And all 7.5 billion people who used to live on our planet. Betrayed first by the Others, and now by ourselves.
In these last days, Earth's remaining survivors will need to decide what's more important: saving themselves . . . or saving what makes us human.

A Must Read
This series has made me cry and re-evaluate my life more times than I can count. It doesn’t focus on the unrealistic clichés thaat the usual alien culture books tend to do. This series focuses on the why a lot more than the what. I have fallen in love with so many of these incredible, strong, and courageous characters, and finally, Rick Yancey’s writing. You need this in your life.
Rick Yancy - third book
A disappointing read. Felt like I had to complete the trilogy as I had started, but this was not my cup of tea and a real effort to read. It was confusing in places with everyone having multiple names. I wouldn't recommend this each book got a bit worse the only exciting bit was the granny silencer. I felt like the author could have told the story in one book.
Disappointing
Quite a poor ending feel disappointed, felt rushed as the author was bored or out of ideas
