The fourth book in the blockbuster phenomenon MAZE RUNNER SERIES now features chapters from The Fever Code, the highly-anticipated conclusion to the series—the novel that finally reveals 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 … 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 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!

So amazing!! I couldn’t stop reading! Love this series!!!
This book is more apt than I’d ever have imagined. With the break out of COVID- 19 all I thought of was this book.
Thankfully we have ways of preventing contamination.
The book plays on your paranoia but helps make you a stronger person. I love the “end of the world” theme and even though there are completely different characters in this book, I love how they quickly grow on you.
The end was touching. And makes me think that at least in the future, humanity (the act of caring and sharing) has hope for survival.
Excellent prequel to the Maze Runner series that shows what it was like when the sun flares hit and the immediate aftermath as well as the origins of the Flare virus. The non-stop action and suspense kept me on the edge of my seat. Overall a great read.
This is the 4th book in the Maze Runner Series. Every page is action-packed. I doubt people in the real world have as much stamina as those in The Kill Zone. I like the books and will read the last one to see how it all plays out. I suggest you read the entire series. This is a prequel.
LOVE IT.
The final installment of The Maze Runner movies is finally out. I loved these books! My friend Holly and I read them in college, thanks to the recommendation of my roommate Katie. They were so good! We were even talking like Gladers for weeks.
The Kill Order is another book that I really struggled to finish. I owned the book and I tried to read it 3 separate times, but the story was just ploddingly slow. Well, like Cinder, this book came up as an audiobook and I thought I could spend my time on this one.
The Kill Order is the history of the flares mentioned in The Maze Runner books. Mark and Trina were in the subway tunnels when the sun flares struck, wrecking the world they knew. Together, with a small band of new friends, they try to survive in the new, scorched world.
While with a group of villagers, a berg arrives and begins shooting people with darts. The darts contain a virus that kills the afflicted immediately. But the virus begins to mutate and spread, causing more problems for Mark and Trina, as well as those who unleashed it.
The Kill Order was slow and quite frankly boring. I didn’t care about most of the characters and the interaction between them felt forced. I was really reading it for the history of what happened and everything else in here felt like fluff.
I did shed a tear at the end, but that was as far as my connection went.
The Kill Order by James Dashner gets 2 stars.
This is a great start to this series it was action packed and fast paced and very well written looking forward to reading the rest of this series.
Had a very hard time putting this down. I was confused, enthralled, horrified and emotional. The prospect of the apocalyptic events that occurred in this book are scary to say the least, but I was drawn in with every word. I can’t wait to get started on The Maze Runner.
