Wave Two involved giant tsunamis that took out coastal regions all over the world. First, the Others killed the electricity. The aliens are called the Others, and they've been attacking Earth in stages (or 'waves').Ĭassie's already survived waves one through three.

We learn most of what happened to her in the first months after the alien invasion through flashbacks. Occasionally, she makes supply runs or shoots a soldier in the head, but mostly she just writes in her journal. When we meet Cassie, she's been 'enjoying' some time by herself in the wilderness, trying to regroup and strategize after all that drama. That's pretty much everyone on the planet. Oh, did we mention the aliens? They're the jerks that are ruining her life, not to mention the lives of the seven billion other people they murdered in cold blood.
