Rick Yancey is the author of the New York Times bestsellers The 5th Wave and The Infinite Sea, the first two books in this series. His debut young-adult novel, The Extraordinary Adventures of Alfred Kropp, was a finalist for the Carnegie Medal. In 2010, his novel The Monstrumologist received the Michael L. Printz Honor, and the sequel, The Curse of the Wendigo, was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. When he isn’t writing or thinking about writing or traveling the country talking about writing, Rick is hanging out with his family.
★ Loss and sacrifice intertwine with the underlying questions
of morality, family, and human strength, and the resolutions
of two apocalyptically doomed romances are appropriately
understated, but no less electrifying. . . . [T]his blistering
finale proves the truth of the first two volumes: it was never
about the aliens."—Booklist, starred review
"[The Last Star] again unspools from multiple perspectives,
keeping readers as off-balance as the characters, who must adjust
to a world where they can trust no one. . . . After hundreds
of pages of violent, nonstop action, the ending provides both
satisfaction and heartbreak."
