The Scorch Trials (The Maze Runner #2)

The Labyrinth was just the beginning.
Don't relax... the worst is yet to come.
Remember. Run. Survive.

Thomas and his friends are resting after escaping the Maze. They finally feel safe. But frantic screams awaken them and confront them with a reality even more terrifying than before.

To survive, they must embark on a journey where each challenge confronts them with new dangers: scorching heat, destruction, unbreathable air. Every step is a surprise on this almost apocalyptic trek. What remains of the world is a wasteland, through which they must journey toward hope (or who knows what...). Trapped, hunted, surrounded by madness, disease, and death; threatened by bodies covered in sores, ravaged by the Flare ; unable to trust the delirious, starving, and violent adults who stalk them at every turn.

But for Thomas, the worst part will be discovering that what little he believed to be genuine in his new life might also be a trap. What is truth and what is a lie? Who can he trust? How far does the manipulation go? What is the purpose of all this hell?

A plot that's a red-hot, explosive, and searing experience. A true test of fire for daring readers.
