Publisher Description

The second book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Maze Runner series that is soon to be a motion picture, hitting theaters September 18, 2015, and is perfect for fans of The Hunger Games and Divergent. The first book, The Maze Runner, is now a movie featuring the star of MTV's Teen Wolf, Dylan O’Brien; Kaya Scodelario; Aml Ameen; Will Poulter; and Thomas Brodie-Sangster! Also look for James Dashner’s newest novels, The Eye of Minds and The Rule of Thoughts, the first two books in the Mortality Doctrine series.   Solving the Maze was supposed to be the end.   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.   There are no rules. There is no help. You either make it or you die.   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.   Friendships will be tested. Loyalties will be broken. All bets are off.   There are others now. Their survival depends on the Gladers’ destruction—and they’re determined to survive.

"The more I read of this series the more I like it. I'm still intensely frustrated by not actually knowing what's happening but I am also very attached to these characters, so it feels like I am going through the whole ordeal with them. Can't wait to see what WICKED puts us through next.."

— Susan (4 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “The fast-paced narrative and survival-of-the-fittest scenario is reminiscent of Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games…Each character’s personality is distinct. The unresolved ending will leave readers impatiently waiting for the conclusion to the trilogy.”

    — School Library Journal
  • “This book will keep you reading and wondering what will happen next as Thomas faces betrayals, battles his own demons, and tries to survive the tortures prepared for him and his friends.”

    " I loved the Maze Runner but was very disappointed my this sequel. With the Maze Runner there was a plot and a puzzle of trying figure things out with the Maze. With this book, it just dragged on and on. I don't think I will be reading the third book in the series. "
