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.

Third in the gothic-horror series about a monster-hunting scientist and his apprentice.

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).

"How do you rid the Earth of seven billion humans? Rid the humans of their humanity ... Surviving the first four waves was nearly impossible. Now Cassie Sullivan finds herself in a new world, a world in which the fundamental trust that binds us together is gone. 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. Cassie and her friends haven't seen the depths to which the Others will sink, nor have the Others seen the heights to which humanity will rise, in the ultimate battle between life and death, hope and despair, love and hate."--Back cover

Myślę, że jeśli kiedykolwiek odwiedzą nas kosmici, skutki tego mogą być podobne do skutków odkrycia Ameryki przez Krzysztofa Kolumba. Jak wiadomo, wydarzenie to okazało się niezbyt pomyślne dla rdzennych mieszkańców tego kontynentu. Stephen Hawking Czy ludzkość jest w stanie stawić czoła inwazji obcej cywilizacji, tysiąckrotnie bardziej zaawansowanej niż nasza? Nie.

Od wymarłych miasteczek, przez płonące metropolie, po obozy dla uchodźców i tajne bazy wojskowe – każdy z bohaterów powieści Yanceya próbuje przetrwać i zrozumieć, co się stało i kim są kosmici, którzy postanowili wymordować całą ludzkość. Pierwszy tom doskonałej sagi Ricka Yanceya przywodzi na myśl dokonania klasyków literatury i kina science fiction, ale prezentuje całkowicie świeży i nowy obraz kosmicznego konfliktu.
