The 4 waves I know about

The 4 Waves; Analysis

        I have read a ton of chapters so far and the book IS called The 5th Wave so I'm going to tell you about the first four waves. The first wave was a giant EMP blast (electromagnetic pulse) which knocks out the entire power gird. As it says in the text, "'When what hit?' 'EMP,' he said. 'Electromagnetic pulse. Generate one large enough and you can knock out the entire power grid. Power. Communication. Transportation. Anything that flies or drives is zapped out.'" But it only killed about a half a  million. "The second wave put that number to shame." The second wave, was an enormous iron poll, four times as tall as the Empire State Building and two times as wide, being slammed into the ocean. They also slammed it into a fault line which caused a huge tsunami. "It hits the surface with a force one billion times greater than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Bye-bye, New York, Bye, Sydney. Good-bye, California, Washington, Oregon, Alaska, British Columbia. So long, Eastern Seaboard. Japan, Hong Kong, London, Rome, Rio."  And because 60% of the Human population lives near the coast, they wiped out most of the population of the Human race.

        The third wave, which was considered the worst because it affected most of remaining people. It was called the "Red Plague." It was passed by the birds and their droppings. The aliens were smart enough to realize that there are about 300 billion birds in the world so they were the most efficient way to pass a disease with a 97% killing rate. "The virus takes residence in your lungs. You get a bad cough. Fever. Your head starts to hurt. Hurt bad. You start spitting up little drops of virus laden blood. The bug moves into your lungs, kidneys, your brain. You're packing a billion of them now, You've become a viral bomb. And when you explode, you blast everyone around you with the virus. They call it bleeding out. Like rats fleeing from a sinking ship, the virus erupts out of every opening. Your mouth, your nose, your ears, your ass, even your eyes. You literally cry tears of blood."  The fourth wave is not known when it really was planted but was activated after the third. They contaminated our brains with some type of seed that when activated makes us into sleeper agents and makes all the humans that have it gain a persona of their own with the visitors memories and why they want to wipe out the human race. It is said that they knew we thought to have had strength in numbers so we would gather into large groups. That is why they did this, it made the survivors who thought they were lucky to survive the 3rd wave realize they were actually unlucky living in constant fear. 

         Those are the four waves I know of so far.
