Flesh-eating danger abounds in the chilling sequel to The Monstrumologist that is “as fast-paced, elegant, and yes, gruesome as its predecessor” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). While Dr. Warthrop is attempting to disprove that Homo vampiris, the vampire, could exist, his former fiancée asks him to save her husband, who has been captured by a Wendigo—a creature that starves even as it gorges itself on human flesh. Although Dr. Warthrop considers the Wendigo to be fictitious, he relents and performs the rescue—but is he right to doubt the Wendigo’s existence? Can the doctor and Will Henry hunt down the ultimate predator, who, like the legendary vampire, is neither living nor dead, and whose hunger for human flesh is never satisfied? This second book in The Monstrumologist series explores the line between myth and reality, love and hate, genius and madness.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The highly-anticipated finale to the New York Times bestselling 5th Wave series. 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. “Yancey’s prose remains achingly precise, and this grows heavier, tighter, and more impossible to put down as the clock runs out…this blistering finale proves the truth of the first two volumes: it was never about the aliens.”—Booklist, starred review “A haunting, unforgettable finale.”—Kirkus Reviews

Die erste Welle vernichtete eine halbe Million Menschen, die zweite noch viel mehr. Die dritte Welle dauerte ganze zwölf Wochen an, danach waren vier Milliarden tot. Nach der vierten Welle kann man niemandem mehr trauen. Cassie Sullivan hat überlebt, nur um sich jetzt in einer Welt wiederzufinden, die von Misstrauen, Verrat und Verzweiflung bestimmt wird. Und während die fünfte Welle ihren Verlauf nimmt, halten Cassie, Ben und Ringer ihre kleine Widerstandsgruppe zusammen, um gemeinsam gegen die Anderen zu kämpfen. Sie sind, was von der Menschheit übrig blieb, und sie werden sich so schnell nicht geschlagen geben. Und während Cassie immer noch hofft, dass ihr Retter Evan Walker lebt, wird der Kampf ums Überleben immer aussichtsloser. Bis eines Tages ein Fremder versucht, in ihr Versteck einzudringen...
