Synopses

The Maze Runner

Thomas arrives by lift with no memory except his first name and finds himself among boys living in the Glade. Beyond their walled encampment lies a vast stone maze that opens each morning and is guarded by the Grievers. With no understanding of how they got there or what happened to the world outside, the Gladers risk everything to find answers.

The Scorch Trials

Leaving the maze behind does not deliver the life Thomas expected. Outside is a wasteland where government and order have collapsed, and Cranks roam ruined cities, driven to murderous insanity by the Flare. As danger closes in, Thomas questions whether he holds the key to freedom or is still under WICKED’s control.

The Death Cure

The Trials are over and WICKED has collected the data it needs. The Gladers are asked to take part in a final voluntary test to complete the blueprint for a cure to the Flare. When Thomas remembers more than WICKED anticipated, trust breaks down and the truth becomes more dangerous than anyone imagined.

The Kill Order

After sun flares strike Earth, intense heat, toxic radiation and flooding devastate the human race. Survivors form basic mountain communities and hunt for food. Mark and his friends face a new threat when an enemy arrives with a highly contagious virus that mutates, drives people mad and spreads rapidly, forcing them to search for the enemy and a cure.

The Fever Code

With the earth scorched and fever spreading, Thomas emerges from the chaos with the power to change everything. This prequel begins his story and raises questions about WICKED, the Gladers and Group B, as well as where Thomas and Teresa’s loyalties truly lie. Lies are exposed, secrets uncovered and answers promised.
