The Maze Runner series is a series of young adult science fiction adventure novels by James Dashner.

• The Maze Runner (2009)

• The Scorch Trials (2010)

• The Death Cure (2011)

• The Kill Order (2012) … prequel

• The Fever Code (forthcoming)

For some odd reason I just finished listening to the first 4 books.

You could say they are poorly written. Or written for 13yr-old boys. (No sex, no profanity,  much ultra-violence.)

The plot is somewhat interesting. Better than Hunger Games, for example.

Still, I’d never have even heard of this YA series if it weren’t for the films. The films are slightly better.

The Maze Runner, was released on September 19, 2014 and became a commercial success grossing over $348 million worldwide. The second film, Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials was released on September 18, 2015, and was also a success, grossing over $312 million worldwide. The film series is set to continue with the third film, Maze Runner: The Death Cure which is set to be released on February 17, 2017.
