When the doors of the lift crank open, the only thing Thomas remembers is his first name. But he's not alone. He's surrounded by boys who welcome him to the Glade - a walled encampment at the centre of a bizarre and terrible stone maze. Like Thomas, the Gladers don't know why or how they came to be there - or what's happened to the world outside. All they know is that every morning when the walls slide back, they will risk everything - even the Grievers, half-machine, half-animal horror that patrol its corridors, to try and find out.

The next installment in Dashner's best-selling The Maze Runner Trilogy and now an internationally acclaimed blockbuster. Can't wait? Also available at Audible is James Dasnher's Mortality Doctrine Series.

The pulse-pounding sequel to The Maze Runner. Thomas was sure that escape from the maze meant he and the Gladers would get their lives back. But no one knew what sort of life they were going back to. The earth is a wasteland. Government and order have disintegrated and now Cranks, people driven to murderous insanity by the infectious disease known as the Flare, roam the crumbling cities hunting for their next victim - and meal.

Maze Runner 3: The Trials are over. WICKED have collected all the information they can. Now it's up to the Gladers to complete the blueprint for the cure to the Flare with a final voluntary test. But something has happened that no one at WICKED has foreseen: Thomas has remembered more than they think. And he knows WICKED can't be trusted.... The time for lies is over. But the truth is more dangerous than anyone could have imagined. With the Gladers divided, can they all make it?

Newt has been to hell and back with his friends. The Glade. The Maze. The Scorch. The inner halls of WICKED. But now he has a burden that can't be shared with Thomas and the others - the Flare. And Newt can't bear the thought of his friends watching him descend into madness as he succumbs to the virus.

When sun flares hit the Earth, intense heat, toxic radiation and flooding followed, wiping out much of the human race. Those who survived live in basic communities in the mountains, hunting for food. For Mark and his friends, surviving is difficult, and then an enemy arrives, infecting people with a highly contagious virus. Thousands die, and the virus is spreading. Worse, it's mutating, and people are going crazy. It's up to Mark and his friends to find the enemy - and a cure - before the Flare infects them all.

Seventy-three years after the events of THE DEATH CURE, when Thomas and other immunes were sent to an island to survive the Flare-triggered apocalypse, their descendants have thrived. Sadina, Isaac, and Jackie all learned about the unkind history of the Gladers from The Book of Newt and tall tales from Old Man Frypan, but when a rusty old boat shows up one day with a woman bearing dark news of the mainland—everything changes.

Sadina and the islanders are up against both man and nature as they navigate their way to Alaska. There, they hope to meet the mysterious Godhead, unsure of what separates myth from truth. But the Godhead, now led by Alexandra, is fractured. Within the cracks of their sacred trinity, secrets are revealed that blur the lines of good and evil forever.

When best friends Dak Smyth and Sera Froste stumble upon the secret of time travel - a hand-held device known as the Infinity Ring - they're swept up in a centuries-long secret war for the fate of mankind.

Now it's up to Dak, Sera, and teenage Hystorian-in-training Riq to travel back in time to fix the Great Breaks . . . and to save Dak's missing parents while they're at it.

David Player ha trascorso gli ultimi tre decenni cercando di dimenticare i traumi della sua infanzia. I rapimenti, le morti e una misteriosa leggenda, tramandata di generazione in generazione, il cui culmine è arrivato in forma umana, in uno dei serial killer più famosi della Nazione: Pee Wee Gaskins. Ora David è tornato, con i quattro figli al seguito, a visitare la casa dei genitori; non appena arrivati, uno sconosciuto si palesa alla loro porta: il figlio di Pee Wee Gaskins.

Settantatré anni dopo gli eventi di La rivelazione, quando Thomas e altri immuni furono mandati su un'isola per sopravvivere all'apocalisse innescata dall'Eruzione, i loro discendenti hanno trovato un equilibrio per andare avanti. Ma nel momento in cui, in un giorno qualunque, appare una donna su una vecchia nave arrugginita portando notizie nefaste dalla terraferma, si sentono di nuovo smarriti. C'è bisogno di loro, o almeno di alcuni, perché sono gli unici a poter salvare quello che di poco è rimasto.

And Gaskins had a particular hatred for the Player family, then for David, himself, who barely escaped those years with his own life intact.
