Publisher's summary

Book four 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!

Before WICKED was formed, before the Glade was built, before Thomas entered the Maze, sun flares hit the earth, killing most of the population.

Mark and Trina were there when it happened. They survived. But now a virus is spreading. A virus that fills humans with murderous rage.

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.

The Maze Runner, Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials, and Maze Runner: The Death Cure are all 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. Also look for James Dashner’s edge-of-your-seat Mortality Doctrine series!

“James Dashner’s illuminating prequel [The Kill Order] will thrill fans of this Maze Runner [series] and prove just as exciting for readers new to the series.” (Shelf Awareness, starred)

Only ok

I was really hoping for more on Thomas, this book was full of fighting and did not really give much.. Over all I was disappointed.

Great book but sort of cliche

This is a good book that satisfied my need for backstory of the maze runner but it felt cliche at times. The narrator is spot on which was a definite plus!

Wow...depressing.

The entire story was dismal and depressing. The entire thing. There was no hope the entire way through, especially if you've read Maze Runner and the rest.

Story is ok, but nothing compared to Maze Runner

It seemed to me the story was a bit forced. It was neat to get a glimpse of a Pre-WICKED world, but in my opinion The Kill Order falls woefully short of James Dashner's genius in The Maze Runner.
Still a good read, especially if you like detailed action scenes.

To much time explaining the constant fighting.

I was hoping the story was going to be more than what it was. It explained the main parts of the story, but this book seemed like it needed to fill up pages by taking so much time to explain every fight scene. It got old.
