The series, revealing details in non-chronological order, tells how the world was devastated by a series of massive solar flares and coronal mass ejections.
The Maze Runner is the first book in the series and was released on October 6th, 2009.
A number of teenagers, who call themselves "The Gladers", are left in a strange place which they call "The Glade". Beyond the walls of the Glade is the ever-changing maze, with its horrifying creatures, the Grievers. Every month a newcomer, or greenie, joins the Gladers, sent by a lift with all past memories (except language and other common things) wiped out. The only thing that they really do remember is their name. The ultimate goal of the remaining Gladers, is to find a way out of the Glade. To do so, the runners venture into the maze every day, to map it in an attempt to find a pattern in the maze that would lead them to find an exit. When Thomas, a curious newcomer, arrives at the Glade and ventures into the maze, unusual things begin to happen.
The Scorch Trials is the second book in the series and was released on September 18, 2010.
The Gladers thought that getting through the maze was it; except they did not know that their world was scorched by the sun. The Gladers did not know that they would have to fight for their lives another time. Burning and naked, the earth is a wasteland, its people driven mad by an infection known as the Flare. Instead of freedom, the Gladers must face another trial. They must survive the scorch trials to find their happy ending.
The Death Cure is the third book in the series and was released on October 11, 2011.
