Monster's Apprentice

There are ominous rumors about 425 Harrington Lane: nocturnal visitors, strange goods being delivered to the house, incomprehensible activities of its owner.

Everyone knows that Dr. Pellinore Warthrop lives here, but few believe that he really only does medicine. One day, under cover of night, another load, wrapped in sacking, is brought to Warthrop's house.

After unpacking the eyes of Warthrop and his assistant, twelve-year-old orphan Will Henry, a terrible sight opens up - the half-eaten corpse of a young girl in the arms of a dead monster. After inspection, it becomes clear that the monster is a representative of the Anthropophages, African man-eating monsters. But how did he end up in a quiet American town, and what other terrible discoveries await Warthrop and Will Henry?

Curse of the wendigo

Will Henry, a 12-year-old orphan, lives in the home of Dr. Pellinore Warthrop, a renowned monster and mystery man.

There are terrible rumors about their occupations, and few people believe that the doctor is really only interested in medicine. One day, Warthrop learns about the disappearance of his best friend and colleague John Chanler, who, in search of a new kind of monsters, went into the wild and never returned.

The Indians say that now his soul belongs to the Wendigo, and he himself, if he is alive, has ceased to be a human and turned into a vampire. But Warthrop refuses to believe it and wants to save his friend by all means.

Who were we before meeting them? And who will we become after? ..

Monstrologer. Death Diaries (collection)

A collection of all four books in the Monstrologer series

The fifth wave

5th wave

The first wave left a haze behind it. Only the luckiest managed to escape from the second one. But those who survived after the third can hardly be called lucky.

And the fourth wave erased all human laws, and instead established its own, the only one: if you want to live, don't trust anyone.

And now the fifth wave rolls over, and Cassie goes into the unknown along the freeway strewn with the remains of people and cars. She escapes from those who are only human in appearance; from her little brother's kidnappers; from skillful and dexterous assassins who are cleaning the captured planet.

Only loners survive in this new world. Finding a partner means reducing your chances by an order of magnitude. To nestle with a group means to die for sure. Cassie strictly follows this rule ... until she meets Evan Walker. And now she is forced to choose - between trust and despair, between struggle and surrender, between life and death.

Endless sea

Aliens need a new home. The earth is quite suitable, but how to cleanse it of people, ubiquitous and tenacious, like rats or cockroaches?

Power outages, tsunamis, epidemic, mufflers. Why were these complex stages necessary, was it not possible to solve the problem in one fell swoop - for example, with the help of an asteroid?

Cassie and her friends have survived all the deadly waves. They lost a lot, but they also understood a lot. And it seems that they even figured out the sophisticated strategy of the enemy: in order to destroy multibillion-dollar humanity, it is necessary, first of all, to destroy humanity in people.

The long-awaited sequel to the bestselling 5th Wave, which Sony Pictures Entertainment and Columbia Pictures are preparing for a film version.

The last star

They are upstairs. They are downstairs. They are everywhere and nowhere. They want to conquer the Earth. They want the Earth to remain with us. Others came to destroy humanity. Others came to save him.

But underneath these mysteries lies the simple truth: Cassie is a victim of betrayal. Like her comrades: Ringer, Zombie, Nuggets. As well as the seven and a half billion inhabitants of the planet.

At first, people were betrayed by others. Then people betrayed themselves.

The last battle for life will take place not on land or at sea, not in the mountains or on the plain, not in the jungle or in the desert. It will end where it started - at the starting point. And the forefront of this battle is the human heart.

The Extraordinary Adventures of Alfred Kropp

Sword of kings

At school, they laugh at Alfred Kropp, girls shy away from him, in football he is a complete zero. A young orphan lives with a poor uncle, who works as a security guard in a large company and passionately dreams of getting rich. Alfred sees the future as scheduled. This is the typical fate of a loser.

She would have become that way if her uncle had not been tempted by a dangerous scam. A prominent businessman unexpectedly makes him an order to steal a valuable item from the office of the head of the company. Actually, the nephew will have to steal, and the uncle will provide cover.

Neither Alfred nor his guardian knows that the very existence of humanity is at stake. You need to kidnap the famous sword Excalibur, guarded by the descendants of the Knights of the Round Table. And before Alfred understands what is really happening, the legendary blade he has obtained falls into the hands of the servant of darkness ...

Solomon's seal

Alfred Kropp returns - to immediately embark on new dizzying adventures.

Stolen are the famous Seals that once allowed King Solomon to keep the fallen angels in obedience.

The gates of hell were thrown open, hordes of evil spirits rushed into the world, and only young Kropp was able to stop them, although he does not know about it yet.

Humanity is getting closer and closer to the opportunity to get acquainted with some kind of extraterrestrial intelligence. Of course, there are many assumptions that we will not find aliens, since all intelligent beings long ago moved to other galaxies, more suitable for a happy life. But you can dream ... Or can dreams lead to the apocalypse?

Rick Yancey wrote the Fifth Wave book series, which will be interesting not only for adults, but also for teenagers. After all main character is still a very young teenager who had to grow up very quickly. As it is already clear, the books will focus on an alien invasion.

So it all started very unexpectedly. Suddenly, all of the Earth suddenly ran out of electricity. Then artificial tsunamis destroyed most of the people, and the rest were "finished off" by an unknown virus. Only a few remained, who just miraculously managed to survive. But they have already been hunted by aliens who are hiding under the guise of ordinary people.

Cassie was just an ordinary teenager. She did not have a punchy character, but rather was quiet and modest. She has a younger brother. When aliens invaded the planet, she immediately lost her parents, but aliens took her brother. Now the girl has to survive herself and save her brother.

The trilogy is fascinating not only for its sentimental themes. Rick Yancey thought of everything to the smallest detail. To make the plot logical and consistent, the author describes not only the consequences of the invasion, but also how the survivors behave in such a situation. If you think that everyone needs to get together and fight in a group against the aliens, then you are wrong. Only one who acts alone can survive. But Cassie unexpectedly met someone who could help her. Which will win: trust or despair?

In other parts of the "Fifth Wave" series, Cassie will have to unravel the enemy's strategy. In fact, aliens are acting very intelligently. Perhaps they followed people for a long time, studied their behavior tactics, read their thoughts. After all, this is the only way to decide what kind of "weapon" is capable of wiping out humanity from the face of the Earth ... And, believe me, this does not apply to any weapon known to us.

The books of the "Fifth Wave" trilogy will appeal primarily to teenagers. After all, everyone in childhood dreamed of becoming a hero, to save, even if not the whole world, to perform a couple of significant feats. Adults will also find ground for thought here: how will you act when aliens suddenly appear on the planet?

Quotes from the book "5th Wave" by Rick Yancey

Aliens are idiots.
I'm not talking about real aliens. Others are not at all stupid. Others have gone so far that evaluating their intelligence is an empty exercise, like comparing the dumbest person to the smartest dog. We are not competitors for them.

These are the thoughts that come at three in the morning. Thoughts under the heading "Oh my God, I'm in a complete ass".

The world is fucked beyond recognition.

We're all dead, son. It's just that someone is dead a little longer than others.

The Lord does not call equipped, son. The Lord equips the called ones. You are called.

"We live, then we die, and the question is not in time, but in how we use it."

The alien invasion of Earth and Ben's invasion of me are both completely unrealistic scenarios.

The death of one person is a tragedy, the death of a million is a statistic, he says. - Stalin said it.

It is difficult to prepare for something when it is not at all what you are preparing for.

They destroyed the weak.
Here it is, a mistake in Vosh's master plan: if we are not killed immediately, those who remain will not be weaklings.
The strong will remain, those who have been bent but not broken; they are like iron bars that give their strength to this concrete wall.
Floods, fires, earthquakes, disease, hunger, betrayal, isolation, extermination.
What did not kill us tempered us. Made it stronger. Gave us a survival experience.
You have reforged plowshares into swords, Vosh. You created us anew.
We are clay and you are Michelangelo.
And we will become your masterpiece.

(Fragment)

Rick Yancey's "5th Wave" has received a lot of positive reviews and has a high rating. A film was made based on the book, which aroused the admiration of connoisseurs of the fantastic genre.

Young girl Cassie lived with her parents and younger brother. She went to school, had fun, was in love with a football player. Everything went well until an alien ship appeared in the sky. At first, no action took place, and people wondered what awaited them.

When the aliens struck their first blow, the world plunged into darkness. The electricity went out, telephones stopped working, communication with those who were far away was lost. Chaos and destruction reign everywhere, as all equipment stopped working, cars collide on the road, planes fall. This was the first wave of cleansing the Earth from people.

The second wave brought great disaster in the form of a tsunami. Few escaped, and the coastal cities disappeared without a trace. Cassie was able to escape with her brother in a tree. With the third wave came a terrible disease spread by birds. The virus has killed many people, including Cassie's mother. The fourth wave was that the aliens learned to look just like humans, and those who did not want to pass the test were killed.

The girl realized that now she could only survive on her own. It is impossible to understand who the person is, who is the enemy. She wants to find her brother Sam, who was taken with other children to a military base. Only for them all the equipment worked. Cassie is shot in the leg and wakes up at Evan's house. He wants to help her, but only she no longer knows if she can trust someone. How can she know he's not an alien? The most important thing is to save your brother. He now turns out to be one of the executors of the fifth sweep - the wave, which is designed to destroy the last people on Earth. But Sam doesn't know who he really kills.
