The Death Cure by James Dashner

The Death Cure (Maze Runner, #3)

by James Dashner

Don’t miss book three in the #1 New York Times bestselling Maze Runner series, now a major motion picture starring Dylan O’Brien!
 
WICKED has taken everything from Thomas: his life, his memories, and now his only friends—the Gladers. But it’s finally over. The trials are complete, after one final test.

What WICKED doesn’t know is that Thomas remembers far more than they think. And it’s enough to prove that he can’t believe a word of what they say.

Thomas beat the Maze. He survived the Scorch. He’ll risk anything to save his friends. But the truth might be what ends it all.

The time for lies is over.

The first two books, The Maze Runner and The Scorch Trials, are also #1 worldwide blockbuster movies featuring the star of MTV's Teen Wolf, Dylan O'Brien; Kaya Scodelario; Aml Ameen; Will Poulter; and Thomas Brodie-Sangster!

Also look for The Fever Code, the much-buzzed-about series conclusion that finally reveals the story of how the maze was built, and James Dashner's other bestselling series, the Mortality Doctrine: The Eye of MindsThe Rule of Thoughts, and The Game of Lives.

What a fantastic ending to one of my favorite series! I was very satisfied and was happy to not be shaking my head after reading the last page.(I will not reveal which series ending did that to me; but...if you are close to me you know what series I am talking about.) I love this 3rd book as much as I did the 1st book in the series.

I love reading books written by James Dashner. His writing sucks you in, and you don't even realize that you are reading because you get so involved with the story and it's character's. I would describe it as if you are watching a movie. I so excited to read the prequel to this series.

This is a must read book, and series, for readers that love a fast paced dystopian novel.
