The 5th Wave trilogy by Rick Yancey follows Cassie Sullivan through an alien invasion that arrives not all at once but in successive waves, each more destructive than the last. The first wave knocks out all electronics, the second causes massive flooding, and later waves bring plague and infiltration.

The trilogy includes The 5th Wave (2013), The Infinite Sea (2014), and The Last Star (2016). The books were bestsellers in the young adult science fiction category and the first novel was turned into a feature film.
