About this ebook

The fourth book in the blockbuster phenomenon MAZE RUNNER SERIES now features chapters from The Fever Code, the highly-anticipated conclusion to the series—the novel that finally reveals how the maze was built!

    Before WICKED was formed, before the Glade was built, before Thomas entered the Maze, sun flares hit the earth, killing most of the population.
    Mark and Trina were there when it happened. They survived. But now a virus is spreading. A virus that fills humans with murderous rage.
    They’re convinced that there’s a way to save those who are left—if they can stay alive. Because in this new, devastated world, every life has a price. And to some you’re worth more dead than alive. 
 
    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.

Ratings and reviews

Not good. Nothing like the rest of the series. It's an attempt at a back story but feels rushed. Parts don't fit together. A lot of it feels underdeveloped and a lot of the developments feel too coincidental. Just not believable enough to pull you in. I wouldn't read it and would recommend skippinging it. At times I felt I was forcing myself to finish this book so that I could go on to the next book, hoping that that one is going to be better. Unfortunate because this serious has been so great until this book. Here's high hopes for an improvement in the next one.

I have read all of the series,and to be honest , this is the worst of them all. I felt as if the entire book was of one objective get to scientests and save Trina and Dee . It didn't have the same mystery aspect that the other books did . It just felt very repetitive the entire book. Chapter after chapter was the same thing we need to find them oh no were gonna die same thing every chapter I don't really think that the series needed this book we didn't need to know about the past.

I like the way the author set this book up to fall in the rite place setting things up for the one after. There is so much going on it doesn't seem anything like similar story line to the hunger games..there is more action and more exact detail that comes to life with this book. kept making you read a few more pages and the next thing I knew I was in a new chapter.. I couldn't put it down. All set up and ready for 2nd book..let's see what the next book in tails shall we.
