James Dashner The Maze Runner

The Maze Runner

When the doors of the lift crank open, the only thing Thomas remembers is his first name. But he's not alone. He's surrounded by boys who welcome him to the Glade - a walled encampment at the centre of a bizarre and terrible stone maze. Like Thomas, the Gladers don't know why or how they came to be there - or what's happened to the world outside.

The Scorch Trials

Solving the Maze was supposed to be the end. No more puzzles and no more running. Thomas was sure that escaping meant he would get his life back. But no one knew what sort of life they were going back to. Burned and baked, the earth is a wasteland, it's people driven man by an infection known as the Flare. Instead of freedom, Thomas must face another trial. He must cross the search to once again save himself and his friends.

The Death Cure

The Trials are over, Wicked have collected all the information they can. Now it's up to the Gladers to complete the blueprint for the cure to the Flare with a final voluntary test. But something has happened that no one at wicked has foreseen, Thomas has remembered more than they think. And he knows wicked can't be trusted. The time for lies is over. But the truth is more dangerous than anyone could have imagined. With the Gladers divided, can they all make it.

The Kill Order

When sun flares hit the Earth, intense heat, toxic radiation and flooding followed, wiping out much of the human race. Those who survived live in basic communities in the mountains, hunting for food. For Mark and his friends, surviving is difficult and then an enemy arrives, infecting people with a highly contagious virus. Thousands die and the virus is spreading. Worse, it's mutating and people are going crazy. It's up to Mark and his friends to find the enemy and a cure before the Flare infects them all.
