The Maze Runner (The Maze Runner, Book 1)
by James Dashner
Thomas wakes up with no memory in a lift rising toward a walled-in field of teenage boys, and every answer he wants sits behind a maze that resets itself every night. James Dashner's YA dystopian survival story is built almost entirely out of withheld information, and that restraint is what makes it move.
The Scorch Trials (The Maze Runner, Book 2)
by James Dashner
James Dashner's The Scorch Trials pushes Thomas and the Gladers out of the Maze and into a scorched, plague-ridden wasteland where the real threat isn't the terrain, it's figuring out who among the survivors is still lying to them.
