Book two in the blockbuster Maze Runner series that spawned a movie franchise and ushered in a worldwide phenomenon! And don’t miss The Fever Code, the highly-anticipated series conclusion that finally reveals the story of how the maze was built!
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.
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.
There are others now. Their survival depends on the Gladers’ destruction—and they’re determined to survive.
Friendships will be tested. Loyalties will be broken. All bets are off.
The Maze Runner and Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials are now major motion pictures featuring the star of MTV's Teen Wolf, Dylan O’Brien; Kaya Scodelario; Aml Ameen; Will Poulter; and Thomas Brodie-Sangster. The third movie, Maze Runner: The Death Cure, will hit screens in 2018.
Also look for James Dashner’s edge-of-your-seat MORTALITY DOCTRINE series!

it is a very god book
This is my favorite book in the series.
I wish i had the book; bohoho :(
Awesome!
I really love this book. The book is probably better than the movie though because the movie is super creepy. I'm 11 and I literally threw up after watching the movie, but I read the book in 17 hours straight and loved it.
Scorch Trials is the second book in the Maze runner series, I actually LOVE The Maze Runner Series and I think that The Scorch Trials book is AWESOME, So anyway this story is about Thomas after escape from the maze, and he is brought to a WICKED base in a middle of a desert. After few days, Thomas find out that the WICKED is taking all the people into a experiment. So Thomas and his friend decide to escape the base and run into a crowded desert. The WICKED tries to find them, but they unfortunately they run away, they run into a old building with some very old resources in it. They have to live their or they will die in the desert. So they start to try to find resource in the old big building, When Mingho found a machine that is used to produce electrify. When Mingho turn it on, All the zombies came out and try to kill them, after they escape from the building they want to find the "mountain people" which is against WICKED. They remember what Jason(The WICKED PEOPLE) tell them. Once they get there, The "Mountain people" Somehow helped Thomas and his friend. The WICKED found them and they escape. After long time, Teresa contract the WICKED about Thomas is at the last base the the "Mountain people" So the WICKED come and gets all the people but no Thomas, Thomas decide to revenge. And then this book ends. Overall I think this book is written very well, the story making sense. I think the most interesting part and shocking part is when Teresa telling WICKED that the location of Thomas, I feel shock too. One of my favorite part of this book is when the fighting part, at the ending of this book, action going on, the most heart-breaking, betrayals. From my perspective I think Thomas have full confidence of revenging WICKED and save his friend. Me and my friend like to read this book, even adults love it, Even my grandpa likes the movie of this book. In my personal opinion, I would suggest this book to the readers who loves book about action of course, romance, mysteries and betray stories. I think I learned a lot of things and lesson on this book, for example don't betray your friend because of some purpose, or some surviving is the natural without resources and more. I enjoys this book since I start reading this book, I just loves how the story goes in this book. I STRONGLY suggest you to read this enjoyable book.
great job summarizing it
This book is extremely intriguing and a very good read. I recommend this book to you if you liked the Percy Jackson series (which by the way was a awesome book). I also recommend this book for anybody who loves action packed sci-fi books about alternate realities. It is one of the best books I have read by far. This is the sequel to the book before (The Maze Runner) and is just as good and well written as the book before, it just gets better!
Scorch Trials is the second book in the Maze runner series and the story just can't get any better! The story begins where the Gladers have escaped the maze and are send to WCKD's head quarters. At first, they thought finding a way out of the maze means freedom, but a far more challenging adventure is ahead of them: the Scorch and the insane world full of cranks. My favorite character in this book is definitely Brenda because she is fearless, open about her feelings, strong, and confident. Even though she knew about Thomas's feelings for Teresa, she is still determined to get Thomas to Safe Haven. I think it's really confusing as to who WCKD really is, but also an interesting question to think about. If you think about it broadly from Thomas's perspective, it'd seem like they're putting them to danger, murdering tons of innocent people, and have took away the people's memories and freedom. On the other hand, they're actually trying to rescue the human race. Overall, I think this book is amazing and exciting and people should definitely read it if they liked the first book. It's full of even more action, romance, mysteries, heart-breaking betrayals, and more for you to read about!
This book is about all the people that are immune to the Flare trying to survive through a trial made by an organization called WICKED. The main characters are Thomas, Teresa, and Ratman. Thomas and Teresa has a power to communicate in their minds, and they are trying to lead all the people in the trial out of it. Ratman is a member of WICKED who tells the immune people the rules of the trial for them to survive. In my opinion, the book lacks smoothness and organization. It seems like the setting of the story is skipping around, and it completely makes no sense. I will not recommend this book to my friends for the reasons above.
