The scorch4/16/2023 Why did I read this book: I truly enjoyed The Maze Runner, Dashner’s first book in this post-apocalyptic/dystopian/SF adrenaline rush of a series, and so was thrilled when I was able to procure an ARC of this second title. How did I get this book: ARC from New York Comic Con (Thanks, lovely people at the Delacorte booth!) Stand alone or series: Book 2 in the Maze Runner series Thomas can only wonder–does he hold the secret of freedom somewhere in his mind? Or will he forever be at the mercy of WICKED? And WICKED has made sure to adjust the variables and stack the odds against them. They must cross the Scorch, the most burned-out section of the world, and arrive at a safe haven in two weeks. Instead of freedom, they find themselves faced with another trial. Government has disintegrated–and with it, order–and now Cranks, people covered in festering wounds and driven to murderous insanity by the infectious disease known as the Flare, roam the crumbling cities hunting for their next victim… and meal. In the world outside the Maze, however, the end was triggered long ago.īurned by sun flares and baked by a new, brutal climate, much of the earth is a wasteland. They had food, and shelter, and safety… until Teresa triggered the end. But no one really knew what sort of life they were going back to. Thomas was sure that escape meant he and the Gladers would get their lives back. Solving the Maze was supposed to be the end. Genre: Dystopian/Post-Apocalyptic, Speculative Fiction, Young Adult
