Cassie is surprised one day by the arrival of Evan. The squads were teams of young humans who were 'weaponized' into the 5th Wave, tricked into attacking other human survivors by being told that those humans are actually Others in human disguise. He then dispatches Ringer and a Silencer named Constance to look for Evan in the caverns.Ĭassie, her younger brother Sam (called Nugget), her former high school crush Ben Parish (now using the name Zombie) and other young humans from Squad 53 are hiding at a safe house.

Vosch gives Ringer a bomb contained in a pill that can destroy everything in a five-mile radius, so that she can kill herself instead of being killed by the Final Wave when the time comes. She returns to Vosch because she knows they have a mutual goal that he will help her kill Evan Walker, a Silencer who has started to help the humans after falling in love with Cassie. Human teenager Ringer, enhanced with the 12th System by Vosch, the human-appearing leader of the Others, has spent 40 days in the wilderness testing out her enhancements. After killing the humans, the Silencer sits back to wait for the day the alien mothership drops the Final Wave, the green bombs that will complete the destruction of humanity and complete the Others' plans for Earth. One of them, a priest, turns out to be a Silencer, a human physically enhanced by an implanted neural chip (part of the Other's '12th System') that also makes them believe they are Others. A band of survivors hides in caves near Urbana, Ohio. In the present, the remaining human population tries to avoid run ins with the 'Others', the aliens that have wiped out most of humanity. Amazed by a starry spectacle the administrators displayed, he decides then and there to name a future daughter after Cassiopeia. The story opens with a flashback of Cassie Sullivan's dad, when he was a kid on a school field trip to a planetarium. Unlike the first two books, the book received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics, who criticized the ending.

The Last Star concludes the story of 16-year-old Cassiopeia 'Cassie' Sullivan, battling against the aliens that have invaded Earth. The novel is the third and final in The 5th Wave trilogy, preceded by The Infinite Sea. The Last Star is a young adult science fiction novel written by American author Rick Yancey.
