Publisher's summary

Book two 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!

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.
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.
There are others now. Their survival depends on the Gladers' destruction—and they're determined to survive.
Friendships will be tested. Loyalties will be broken. All bets are off.

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!

Fantastic

Very gripping story, couldn't stop listening to it! Just as good, if not better, than the maze runner! Loved it!

Don't start series.

Each book is set up to sell the next book and doesn't answer any questions so far through the Second book

Epic epic epic...

Definitely the awesomest series I've read so far, it manages to live up to it's predecessor and more, it's one of the greatest stories ever read by one of the greatest narrators ever, can't wait for the third book to come out, I'd kill them if they let anyone but Mark Deakins narrate it...XD XD

Good action but little resolve

Again the book keeps a reader involved with lots of action and hope of resolve. but again, that resolve does not come. only other complaint is his emotional/ non logical thinking at the end that is not consistant with his rational thinking throughout the rest of the book. if i wanted to be inside the head of a teenage girl, id read twilight.

The Middle Child book

This is such a fun series with a crazy story. This is the second book and not as good as the first or third, but still a good read.

Great addition to the series

What did you love best about The Scorch Trials?

The Scorch Trials are interesting because of the creatively gory situations Thomas & Co. must overcome. Pretty exciting and intense!
