About This Book
Thomas and his friends thought escaping the Maze was the hardest challenge, but the real adventure is just beginning. A dangerous illness called the Flare is changing everything, and the people behind it have secrets darker than the Maze itself. Now, the fight to survive is more thrilling and scary than ever—and it all matters because their world depends on it.
