Resumen del Editor

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The Gladers meet new friends and enemies on their quest, and Deakins shows his skill by providing each of the speakers with a distinctive accent. Listeners will be eagerly awaiting the conclusion to this trilogy." ( AudioFile)

Agreed! Left me hanging...

After I read the reviews I wondered how I would feel. Well I felt the same...The poor kids go through so much and at the end still no answers and let down starts all over again. I sure hope the 3rd installment clears up concerns and does not just drag out more 'trails'.

Not as good as the first but still worth it

The action in the Scorch Trials kept me on the edge of my seat. I did enjoy listening. But this book was more of a taunt and tease than a sequel. I felt a little strung along only to get no answers in the end. In the Maze Runner and the Scorch Trials, Thomas and Theresa kept saying they were responsible for everything. In both books, people forgot things and saw things. There were a lot of impossibilities thrown at us that were never really explained. The kids were constantly running for their lives and the whole time met betrayal after betrayal. I know they were being tested for something. And obviously there will be a book three. But I kind of wish they would have thrown us a bone in book 2. At the end of this one, I found myself thinking, "Oh not again!" Also, I thought the two girls (Theresa and Brenda) were pretty creepy. I don't know if it was the story or the narrator (he was great, but did a creepy girl's voice), but I didn't like or trust either of them. If that was the way I was supposed to react, then kudos to Dashner.

Overall, it WAS a good book and I look forward to book 3. I would have given it 5 stars if there had been more closure.

Very Upsetiing end? No answers given

I can't believe I just sat for almost 11 hours listening to this book that didn't really go anywhere and had nothing really to add to the series. It was just one bumbled mishap after another with no clues to the real answer that was posed in the first book "The Maze Runner". I was VERY disappointed in this second book. I tried to compare it to other 2nd books in trilogies, but this one answers no questions and makes it necessary to buy the next one to see what the hell just happened in the last 11 hours!

Amazing! Thrilling!

I was on the edge of my seat. I actually verbally cheered at the end. Awesome narration too complete with pleasant voices. These characters are more dear to me than those in the movie! Download it now! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Was definitely the best of the series

The book was far and away better than the first one. The performer as in the first one was excellent. The variance with voices is so good. Especially the characters of Newt and Mean-Ho.

I loved it

In this book there are so many amazing characters and Deakins does such a great job with the voices. I love this book because it hit pretty much all of my emotions. There were parts where I was scared and mad. This book is very suspenseful it's worth reading

twists and turns. .. keeps you guessing.

this is too good to sup here. .. go to book 3 immediately. I how it ends?

Classic

I love how James Dashner writes. I feel so engulfed in the story I don't even realize it's fiction!

The added characters are fabulous, the betrayals are perfect and the development of the current state of the world is interesting. I love discovering the world WITH Thomas. The perspective is my favorite part.

Very good

I like it a lot can't wait for the movie to come for rent on the 15th

Love the character progression

It gives you more and more information about the grand finale but not enough to draw a final conclusion. I can't wait to listen to the last book.
