“Lights out pestilence, surf’s up, silencer, the fifth wave”.
Cassie continued to strive on when the first wave hit, taking out the power and killing the many using transportation. Cassie watched fighter jets fall to the ground as her world did so too. But little did the Sullivan family know that the thousands of tragic deaths from the first wave would be put to shame from the waves to come.

“The first wave killed thousands, the second put that number to shame.”
The first wave took out all the power and light imaginable and the second wave merged out of the dark destroying anything that stood in its way. Many lost their lives until the third wave, when disease causing blood coming out from the nose, ears and fingertips killed ¾ of the nation. Survive the third wave you are either a warrior or just plain lucky.
By the fourth wave peoples were living each day as if it were their last.

This situation found Cassie caught up many times deciding whether to pull the trigger or not.
“The Others” is one of the many names the futuristic beings were called along with many other tragic names. The Others just happened to be Mr Sullivan’s (Cassie’s father) idea of despicable aliens disguised as any human imaginable.
Once the dark cloud came followed by an unidentified flying object filled with the others and their secretive plans. Foes became friends just as long as they were a human.
