The Passage meets
Ender's Game in an epic new series from award-winning author Rick Yancey.
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, and 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, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker. Beguiling and mysterious, Evan
Walker may be Cassie's only hope for rescuing her brother--or even saving herself. But Cassie must
choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give
up or to get up.
It’s graduation day for sixteen-year-old
Malencia Vale, and the entire Five Lakes Colony (the former Great Lakes) is celebrating. All Cia can
think about—hope for—is whether she’ll be chosen for The Testing, a United Commonwealth program that
selects the best and brightest new graduates to become possible leaders of the slowly revitalizing
post-war civilization. When Cia is chosen, her father finally tells her about his own nightmarish
half-memories of The Testing. Armed with his dire warnings (”Cia, trust no one”), she bravely heads
off to Tosu City, far away from friends and family, perhaps forever. Danger, romance—and sheer
terror—await.

Reboot
Amy Tintera
In this fast-paced dystopian thrill ride, a seventeen-year-old girl rises from the dead as a Reboot and is trained as an elite crime-fighting soldier . . . until she is given an order she refuses to obey.
Five years ago, Wren Connolly was shot three times in the chest. After 178 minutes, she came back to life as a Reboot—stronger, faster, able to heal, but less emotional. The longer Reboots are dead, the less human they are when they return, making Wren 178 the deadliest Reboot in the Republic of Texas.
Callum 22, on the other hand, is practically still human. He's the worst trainee Wren has ever had—his reflexes are too slow, he's always asking pesky questions, and his ever-present smile is freaking her out. Yet he's still her newbie. When Callum fails to measure up to Reboot standards, Wren is told to eliminate him. Wren has never disobeyed before, but she'll do whatever it takes to save Callum's life.
The perfect soldier is done taking orders.
