So aliens have decided to attack humanity. So far they have released four waves of strikes. The first wave took out technology. The second wave was huge tsunamis that attacked coastal populations. The third wave was plague. The fourth wave was assassins whose job is to hunt down the survivors. The fifth wave is to turn the remaining humans against one another. This is done by capturing survivor children and turning them into an army of killers, fooled into believing any survivors they find are either the aliens or are pawns of the aliens and must be destroyed.
This another entry in the teen dystopian novel genre. Our brave young teen heroes are the only ones capable of standing up against the aliens, especially since the author quickly kills off any adults who are left alive.
This is also another entry in the "everyone is a suspect and no one knows who can or cannot be trusted" genre, a common theme in fiction these days.
This is also another entry in the "alien falls in. love with the human" genre.
Nothing that new here, really.
Review from The Guardian.
