The first book in the blockbuster phenomenon The Maze Runner series now features chapters from the highly-anticipated series conclusion, The Fever Code, the book 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!

"Wasn’t as good as the movie unfortunately, but still really fun to read. I think I would have loved it more if I’d read it before watching the movies. "

"5/10 I can already imagine some of the backlash I’ll get for this one… but I didn’t love it. I felt the writing style was very boring and the book seemed to drag a lot. Written from a third person POV, which I didn’t enjoy. I decided I’ll probably still give the next one a chance though so stay tuned. "
"While the premise and plot were intriguing, I found the main character’s internal dialogue and the spoken dialogue of other characters to be a bit repetitive. Because of this, the characters felt a bit flat. The story also ends rather abruptly, which is great for a series but not so good for making this a book of standalone merit. I found myself wanting more from the writing and continually being underwhelmed. "
