Trade Paperback and eBook, 384 pages

Read the second book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Maze Runner series that is now a major motion picture and is perfect for fans of The Hunger Games and Divergent.

Also look for James Dashner’s newest novels, The Eye of Minds and The Rule of Thoughts, the first two books in the Mortality Doctrine series.

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 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 #DashnerDash Binge Read starts on May 27th and we're going to be giving away signed copies of the first 4 novels in James Dashner's The Maze Runner series. This is a great opportunity to reread the series or read it for the first time. Adults can read along with their Young Adults or why not read the series for yourself?

The reread will kick off with The Maze Runner. You can submit questions via the Maze Runner Facebook page and selected questions will then be discussed by James Dashner and his editor, Krista Marino, in a series of live Google Hangouts during the last week of each month. The first Google Hangout with James Dashner and Krista Marino will take place during the week of June 27th. Check the Facebook page and social media for details.

The reread of The Scorch Trials will begin on June 27th, followed by The Death Cure on July 27th, and The Kill Order on August 27th. The Google Hangout for The Kill Order at the end of August will lead right into the publication of The Fever Code on September 27th.

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.

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.
