The prequel to the New York Times best-selling Maze Runner series.
Before WICKED was formed, before the Glade was built, before Thomas entered the Maze, sun flares hit the Earth, and mankind fell to disease.
Mark and Trina were there when it happened, and they survived. But surviving the sun flares was easy compared to what came next.
Now a disease of rage and lunacy races across the eastern United States, and there's something suspicious about its origin. Worse yet, it's mutating, and all evidence suggests that it will bring humanity to its knees.
Mark and Trina are convinced there's a way to save those left living from descending into madness. And they're determined to find it - 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.

"Worth it, but the weakest in the series"
I loved this series and so the Pre-quel was a "must listen" for me. I don't regret listening at all and it was entertaining. But, I found the other books more interesting and more rich. Perhaps knowing where it is all going takes away the punch though. Overall, I do recommend this to fans, but don't listen to it first. Maybe its for "fans only".

"Where it began."
Yes I love the different voices.
Too many.
No. Not that I know of,
Yes. I've read the whole series and I needed to know the begining.
"Great listen! Even more riveting than Maze Runner!"
I enjoyed learning how it all started. I liked the new characters too.
It was a little more violent than the other books but well worth the read.
"Love this series!"
I'd put this toward the top of my list.... Full of action and character development. A great addition to the Thomas and Theresa saga.
Mark and Alec were so different yet still easy to identify with for different reasons... Great prequel characters.
Great ability to define the characters vocally.
