Before anyone ever heard of the Glade, something was happening in our world…

creating The Kill Order.

~Sheila

Before the Glade and The Maze of Maze Runner ever existed… Thomas knew there was something else… he has seen the images of memory flicker across his mind; always fleeting, always unable to grasp….

what was the world like he has come from? 

A disease has come into the world.  It comes quickly as if from nowhere but the results are devastating.  Those in contact with this virus feel as though there is something crawling within their mind… they become monstrous in action and no one is safe… possibly crippling out world as we knew it forever.

Mark and Trina feel there is a way to save those yet infected… and as they are about to find out – they will give it all to succeed.

The Kill Order is the new(ish) prequel to Maze Runner.  Having recently listened to Maze Runner on audio and loving it… I went this direction and listened to this one next – not following up (yet) with the two remaining books. 

Coming fresh off Maze Runner, it was interesting to read  about what those in the Maze Runner kept eluding too… a world they longed for but at the same time had memories that things were not so great of where they came from.  James Dashner writes a brilliant prequel that I felt filled in the mysterious gaps left in Maze Runner.

Well written, fast paced, and wonderfully narrated by Mark Deakins again.
