In 2012, Dashner released The Kill Order, the first of two Maze Runner series prequel novels. However, The Death Cure wasn’t the end of Dashner’s Maze Runner series. If The Maze Runner filmmakers follow the example of The Twilight saga, The Hunger Games, and the Harry Potter adaptations then try not to act surprised when The Death Cure gets split into two movies. In 2011, Dashner brought the story of Thomas and his friends to a conclusion in The Death Cure.

Dashner’s first Maze Runner series novel was published in 2009, and its sequel, The Scorch Trials, followed a year later. Next month, Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials will continue the story of Thomas ( Dylan O’Brien) and his fellow Gladers as they attempt to survive their latest ordeal and discover the truth behind the group that put them through a dangerous experiment.Īs a film franchise, The Maze Runner series is based on the novels by author James Dashner. Last year, director Wes Ball’s cinematic adaptation of The Maze Runnerwas a surprise hit at the box office and there’s still more to come from The Maze Runner series.

However, when he finds government files pertaining to the darts, he quickly realizes that this is some sort of warped Holocaust, meant to kill off a large portion of the population so that the rest can survive. He believes that getting her to a government safe haven would help the government find a cure for the virus. Mark has a little girl with him, who seems as if she is immune to this virus. Only he and a few others have escaped, and are trying to get to a safe haven. Mark’s entire city has been ravaged by this virus.

The darts have unleashed a virus and nobody knows how to combat it. People are dying quickly, and the others are slowly going insane from some indescribable rage. An entire village has been shot by darts.

Solar flares have just begun to attack the Earth. This book was pretty good, given that all of the characters were new, and I really liked the idea behind it. Okay, so there are definitely more than three books in this series, which I didn’t expect because this series was called the Maze Runner Trilogy, but they’re spin-offs and origin stories, more than a continuation of the trilogy.
