Sometimes in my tent, late at night, I think I can hear the stars scraping the sky. She keeps a journal because the world hasn't been gone long enough for her to lose all her sentimentality. There are fires everywhere, but very few people (unless you count the bodies, which Cassie doesn't). Now that Cassie's on the run, she has to watch out for Others (which is tough, since they look like people) as well as garbage humans who've decided to loot and plunder the dying planet. They finally revealed themselves to humanity a few months ago, and in the time since they've killed some seven billion people. Oh yeah, and now they're chasing her through the hellscape that used to be Ohio.Īccording to Colonel Vosch, aliens have been spying on humans for some 6,000 years. That's pretty much how Cassie feels about what the Others have done to her and the planet. Let's say a stranger showed up to your house uninvited, killed your entire family, and kicked you to the curb. An alien race known as the Others recently touched down on Earth (no, not really-don't panic) and so far they've been the worst guests ever.
