Perfect for fans of Divergent and The Hunger Games, this special movie tie-in edition of the New York Times bestseller The Maze Runner features an eight-page full-color insert with photos from the film.

And look for James Dashner’s newest novel, The Eye of Minds, book one in the Mortality Doctrine series.

 

Nice to meet ya, shank. Welcome to the Glade.

 

Outside the towering stone walls that surround the Glade is a limitless, ever-changing maze. It’s the only way out—and no one’s ever made it through alive.

 

Everything is going to change.

 

Then a girl arrives. The first girl ever. And the message she delivers is terrifying.

 

Remember. Survive. Run.
