All three volumes in Yancey''s award-winning, "New York Times"-bestselling series are collected in this box set: "The 5th Wave, The Infinite Sea, " and "The Last Star."

In the fourth and final horrific adventure in the award-winning Monstrumologist series, Will Henry encounters unprecedented terror, a terror that delves into the depths of the human soul. Will Henry has been through more than seems possible for a boy of fourteen. He’s been on the brink of death on more than one occasion, he has gazed into hell—and hell has stared back at him, and known his face. But through it all, Dr. Warthrop has been at his side. When Dr. Warthrop fears that Will’s loyalties may be shifting, he turns on Will with a fury, determined to reclaim his young apprentice’s devotion. And so Will must face one of the most horrific creatures of his monstrumology career—and he must face it alone. Over the course of one day, Will’s life—and Pellinor Warthrop’s destiny—will hang in the balance. In the terrifying depths of the Monstrumarium, they will face a monster more terrible than any they could have imagined—and their fates will be decided. “Beyond a simple finale, this is a brave statement about the duplexity of good and evil, and the deadly trap in which all of us are snared” (Booklist, starred review).

When Dr. Warthrop goes hunting for the "Holy Grail of Monstrumology" in 1888, twelve-year-old orphan Will Henry follows him to Socotra, plunging into depths of horror worse than anything he has experienced so far.

A monster-hunting doctor and his apprentice face off against a plague of monsters in the first book of a terrifying series. Publishers Weekly says “horror lovers will be rapt.” These are the secrets I have kept. So starts the diary of Will Henry, orphan and assistant to a doctor with a most unusual specialty: monster hunting. In the short time he has lived with the doctor in nineteenth-century New England, Will has grown accustomed to his late-night callers and dangerous business. But when one visitor comes with the body of a young girl and the monster that was eating her, Will’s world changes forever. The doctor has discovered a baby Anthropophagus—a headless monster that feeds through a mouth in its chest—and it signals a growing number of Anthropophagi. Will and the doctor must face the horror threatening to overtake and consume the world…before it is too late. The Monstrumologist is the first stunning gothic adventure in a series that combines the terror of HP Lovecraft with the spirit of Arthur Conan Doyle.

A monster-hunting doctor and his apprentice face off against a plague of Anthropophagi in the first book of the Monstrumologist series.

In this riveting sequel to Yancey''s "New York Times" bestseller "The 5th Wave, " Cassie Sullivan finds herself in a new world. As the 5th Wave rolls across the landscape, Cassie, Ben, and Ringer are forced to confront the Others'' ultimate goal: the extermination of the human race.

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.

El primer libro de una espectacular serie épica. Después de la primera ola... la tierra queda a oscuras. Después de la segunda ola... solo huyen los afortunados. Después de la tercera ola... solo sobreviven los desafortunados. Después de la cuarta ola... ya no puedes confiar en nadie. En el amanecer de la quinta ola, Cassie está huyendo por un tramo desolado de autovía. Huye de ellos. De esos seres que, aunque parezcan humanos, deambulan por el campo eliminando a cualquiera, dispersando y aislando a los escasos supervivientes. Cassie sabe que la única opción para seguir con vida es seguir sola. Sin confiar en nadie. Hasta que se encuentra con Evan Walker, un enigmático joven que parece capaz de ayudarla a encontrar a su hermano. Ha llegado el momento de tomar una elección definitiva: confiar o perder la esperanza, desafiar o rendirse... Abandonar o luchar. Han tomado todo por lo que merece la pena vivir y ahora quieren todo por lo que merece la pena morir.

Comment débarrasser la Terre de ses sept milliards d''habitants ? Retirez aux hommes leur humanité... Cassie Sullivan et ses compagnons ont survécu aux quatre premières vagues destructrices lancées par les Autres. Maintenant que l''espèce humaine a été presque entièrement exterminée et que la 5e Vague déferle sur la planète, le groupe se trouve face à un choix : se préparer à affronter l''hiver en espérant le retour rapide d''Evan Walker, ou se mettre en quête d''éventuels survivants avant que l''ennemi ne referme sur eux son impitoyable piège. Personne ne peut prédire à quels abîmes de cruauté les Autres sont prêts à s''abaisser, ni à quelles hauteurs l''humanité saura se hisser. La bataille finale ne fait que commencer... Ils connaissent notre manière de penser. Ils savent comment nous exterminer. Ils nous ont enlevé toute raison de vivre. Ils viennent maintenant nous arracher ce pour quoi nous sommes prêts à mourir.

Eux, ces êtres qui ressemblent trait pour trait aux humains et qui écument la campagne, exécutant quiconque a le malheur de croiser Leur chemin.

Elle se raccroche à cette règle jusqu''à ce qu''elle rencontre Evan Walker. Mystérieux et envoûtant, ce garçon pourrait bien être son ultime espoir de sauver son petit frère.

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.

Y es que todo terminará donde empezó: la última batalla tendrá lugar en el último corazón humano y acabará con su último latido. 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
