The Scorch Trials
ByPublisher Description
The second book in the blockbuster phenomenon The Maze Runner series now features chapters from The Fever Code, the highly-anticipated conclusion to the MAZE RUNNER SERIES—the novel that finally reveals how the maze was built!
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 Gladers have two weeks to cross through the Scorch—the most burned-out section of the world. And WICKED has made 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.
The Maze Runner and Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials are now major motion pictures featuring the star of MTV's Teen Wolf, Dylan O’Brien; Kaya Scodelario; Aml Ameen; Will Poulter; and Thomas Brodie-Sangster. The third movie, Maze Runner: The Death Cure, will hit screens in 2018.
Also look for James Dashner’s edge-of-your-seat MORTALITY DOCTRINE series!

“This book definitely reminds me of why I do not like Teresa. Glad to have that refresher.
Ngl, the last half of this book had me STRESSED! I was worried about if they were going to make it or not and what was going to happen. Definitely a very action packed book and I enjoyed that. Just sometimes the action is too stressful.
Overall this was a good book and i had a blast rereading it. Definitely felt like reading it for the first time because it’s been so long and I’ve forgotten everything. Oops 🤭”
