Parish who used to be a high school jock and who is deeply depressed over the loss of his sister and his family, is gradually trained into a proficient soldier. From the very beginning all of their training reinforces this understanding, giving them no reason to question otherwise. They are tagged with a small capsule that allows them to be tracked and are told that the aliens are inside some humans and that with the use of a special headset they can be detected and will glow green. Parish along with many other children are trained to be soldiers and are told that they can help fight back against the invaders. All the waves before this were merely to whittle Earth's 4 billion population down to a manageable size for annihilation. He learns from the doctor there that the aliens have infected certain people and that these people are now activated into hunters to kill down the remaining humans. They save his life and he is encouraged to find the will to fight against the aliens. Ben narrates his story beginning from his arrival at Wright-Patterson Airbase after the soldiers clean out the tent city next to the base where he has been staying. Meanwhile, although Cassie assumes Ben Parish is dead, he is in fact barely alive, suffering from the Red Plague.

The second wave was the creation of an earthquake that caused a massive tsunami. Cars stalled on the roads, planes plummeted to earth. The first wave was a electromagnetic pulse that knocked out everything - cell phones, electricity, car and airplane engines. For ten days nothing happened while people speculated, fretted, and wondered why the aliens did not make contact. It began with the appearance of a huge green ship in orbit around the Earth.
