As in his previous efforts ( The Monstrumologist, 2009, etc.), Yancey excels in creating an alternative world informed by just enough logic and sociology to make it feel close enough to our own. She then embarks on a mission to rescue her brother. Cassie escapes, only to see her dad (and everyone else) brutally executed by their so-called protectors. Cassie, her dad and the rest of the adults are then divested of their weapons and marched into a bunker by their protectors. Together, the three wait out the titular fifth in a military base for survivors until school buses arrive to take all children to safety, including her brother Sam. Sixteen-year-old Cassie, her brother Sam and her dad survived the first four gruesome waves of the attack. The challenge? Surviving the genocide of the human race when aliens attack Earth in the not-too-distant future.
