Abstract:
The maze runner: "If you ain't scared, you ain't human. When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his name. He's surrounded by strangers -- boys whose memories are also gone. 'Nice to meet ya, Shank. Welcome to the glade'. Outside the towering stone walls that surround the Glade is a limitless, ever-changing maze. It's the only way out -- and no one's ever made it through alive. Everything is going to change. Then a girl arrives. The first girl ever. And the message she delivers is terrifying. Remember. Survive. Run."--Back cover.
The scorch trials: "Solving the maze was supposed to be the end. Thomas was sure that escape from the Maze would mean freedom for him and the Gladers. But WICKED isn't done yet. Phase two has just begun. The Scorch. There are no rules. There is no help. You either make it or you die. The Gladers have two weeks to cross the Scorch -- the most burned-out section of the world. And WICKED has been sure to adjust the variables and stack the odds against them. Friendships will be tested. Loyalties will be broken. All bets are off. There are others now. Their survival depends on the Gladers' destruction -- and they're determined to survive. Never stop running."--Back cover.
The death cure: "It's the end of the line. WICKED has taken everything from Thomas: his life, his memories, and now his only friends -- the Gladers. But it's finally over. The trials are complete, after one final test. Will anyone survive? What WICKED doesn't know is that Thomas remembers far more than they think. And it's enough to prove that he can't believe a word of what they say. The truth will be terrifying. Thomas beat the maze. He survived the Scorch. He'll risk anything to save his friends. But the truth might be what ends it all. The time for lies is over."--Back cover.
The kill order: "They thought the end came in a flash. Before WICKED was formed, before the Glade was built, before Thomas entered the Maze, sun flares hit the earth, killing most of the population. The worst is yet to come. Mark and Trina were there when it happened. They survived. But now a virus is spreading. A virus that fills humans with murderous rage. There is no cure. No escape. They're convinced that there's a way to save those who are left -- if they can stay alive. Because in this new, devastated world, every life has a price. And to some you're worth more dead than alive. The end is only the beginning."--Back cover.
