The Scorch Trials

How would you handle it? The stress? The pressure? The pain? If you had your memory taken away, sent in a gigantic maze, battle through monsters, your best friend dying in you arms, only to be thrown into a destroyed city to battle against crazy people and the heat of the sun.

In The Scorch Trials Thomas and the remainder of his friends had just escaped from the dangerous maze, and had been thrown into a destroyed earth, where everything had been burned away, and the locals infected by a vicious virus where it drove you insane. Now they have to travel across this barren wast land, through a destroyed city with Cranks in it (people affected by the virus called the flare) only to be captured by a group of girls that had also gone through the maze trials at the same time as them. At the end of the book Thomas his friends join up with the girls in the other group to reach a point where a cure was promised for the flare


In this book Thomas has to go through many more difficulties than the maze, and throughout the entire event he is learning more about what happened to the world and why WICKED is putting them trough this. If you were in Thomas's shoes, would you trust WICKED and do what they say or would you try to find you own path?
