Book one in the blockbuster Maze Runner series that spawned a movie franchise and ushered in a worldwide phenomenon! And don’t miss The Fever Code, the highly-anticipated series conclusion that finally reveals the story of how the maze was built!
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.
Outside the towering stone walls that surround them is a limitless, ever-changing maze. It’s the only way out—and no one’s ever made it through alive.
Then a girl arrives. The first girl ever. And the message she delivers is terrifying: Remember. Survive. Run.
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!

I love this book it's so cool, there are loads of cliffhangers and you can't put the book down. I definitely recommend this book! 😄
Yup, I totally agree!
I want to read this book because lots of people have read it and told me its a great book, the blurb is a cliffhanger and people told me if I liked divergent I would like maze runner.
This book was amazing! Definitely a must-read! I love how James Dashner slowly intensified the book for a sort of 'mountain' effect. Definitely a shocking ending ,no spoilers!, but all in all, one of the best books I have ever read, and that's saying a lot! Can't wait to read the rest of the series!
