Book two 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!
 
   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.
   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.
   There are others now. Their survival depends on the Gladers’ destruction—and they’re determined to survive.
   Friendships will be tested. Loyalties will be broken. All bets are off.

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 is a adventure book. this marvellous book can let other readers think that they are inside the story. I hope that you are interested in this story book very much and also see the next book about maze runner.

Later on, I will try to get this book. From the previous book, it was so good, full of suspense and adventurous situations happening. I know and gurentee that this book will be awesome, just like the first one.

10x better than the first one and the first is awesome!

This second book in the Maze Runner series is interesting and I didn't dislike it, but I wouldn't recommend it. If you're looking for something to read, find something more worthwhile. Only read this book if you're really wanting to read it because of things you've heard or are desperate for something to read. Overall, it's an okay book, but not much more.
