The Scorch Trials picks up where The Maze Runner left off. The Gladers have escaped the Maze, but now they face an even more treacherous challenge on the open roads of a devastated planet. And WICKED has made sure to adjust the variables and stack the odds against them. Can Thomas survive in such a violent world?

When sun flares hit the Earth, intense heat, toxic radiation and flooding followed, wiping out much of the human race. Those who survived live in basic communities in the mountains, hunting for food. For Mark and his friends, surviving is difficult, and then an enemy arrives, infecting people with a highly contagious virus. Thousands die, and the virus is spreading. Worse, it's mutating, and people are going crazy. It's up to Mark and his friends to find the enemy - and a cure - before the Flare infects them all.

The Trials are over. WICKED have collected all the information they can. Now it's up to the Gladers to complete the blueprint for the cure to the Flare with a final voluntary test. But something has happened that no-one at WICKED has foreseen: Thomas has remembered more than they think. And he knows WICKED can't be trusted ...The time for lies is over. But the truth is more dangerous than anyone could have imagined. With the Gladers divided, can they all make it.

Thomas was sure that escape from the maze meant he and the Gladers would get their lives back. But no one knew what sort of life they were going back to. The earth is a wasteland. Government and order have disintegrated and now Cranks, people driven to murderous insanity by the infectious disease known as the Flare, roam the crumbling cities hunting for their next victim...and meal.Thomas can only wonder - does he hold the secret of freedom somewhere in his mind? Or will he forever be at the mercy of WICKED? The pulse-pounding sequel to The Maze Runner.

When the doors of the lift crank open, the only thing Thomas remembers is his first name. But he's not alone. He's surrounded by boys who welcome him to the Glade - a walled encampment at the centre of a bizarre and terrible stone maze. Like Thomas, the Gladers don't know why or how they came to be there - or what's happened to the world outside. All they know is that every morning when the walls slide back, they will risk everything - even the Grievers, half-machine, half-animal horror that patrol its corridors, to try and find out.

Kiszabadultak az Útvesztőből. Átjutottak Perzseltföldön. Kockára tették egymásért az életüket. Ám a végső igazsággal szemben tehetetlenek. A Tűzpróba után úgy tűnik, az őrült hajszának vége. De Thomas biztos benne, hogy nem bízhat a VESZETT-ben. Hiába állítják, hogy nincs több megtévesztés, hogy a Próbák nyomán már minden szükséges információt megszereztek, és most Thomas és társai visszakaphatják az emlékeiket, hogy végrehajthassák az igazi küldetésüket. A csapat tagjaitól várják ugyanis, hogy létrehozzák az emberiséget fenyegető halálos vírus ellenszerét. Csakhogy Thomas sokkal több mindenre emlékszik, mint a VESZETT vezetői hinnék. Hazugságokkal többé nem mennek semmire. Ám a dermesztő igazság jóval veszélyesebb, mint azt Thomas valaha gondolta volna. A csapat újabb gyilkos kalandra vállalkozik, hogy kifürkéssze a VESZETT legnagyobb titkát. Menekülésük során tomboló Buggyantakkal és profi fejvadászokkal kell megküzdeniük, majd egy titkos szervezet csap le rájuk. Milyen árat kell fizetniük azért, mert a saját kezükbe vették a sorsukat? Túlélheti-e vajon bárki a Halálkúrát? James Dashner, a világszerte - immár filmváltozatban is - óriási sikert aratott Útvesztő-sorozat szerzője az egyik legnépszerűbb amerikai ifjúsági író. A trilógiának szánt, majd utóbb négykötetesre bővült sorozatnak már az ötödik része is készülőben van. Az Útvesztő és folytatása, a Tűzpróba írója amúgy nem nagy barátja a számoknak, pedig eredetileg könyvelőként dolgozott. Most viszont rendkívül hálás azért, hogy rubrikák töltögetése helyett történetek írásából élhet, és úgy tartja, nála nagyobb mázlista kevés van a világon.

The world has ended: the earth is scorched, and fever rages through the population. Out of the chaos, a boy emerges with the power to change everything: Thomas. This is the start of his story. Anelectrifying Maze Runner prequel, The Fever Code holds all the answers: How did WICKED find the Gladers? Who are Group B? Whose side are Thomas and Teresa really on? Lies will be exposed. Secrets uncovered. Loyalties proven. You'll never see the truth coming ...
