2.  Is a young-adult dystopian science
fiction novel by James Dashner and
the second book in the Maze Runner
Saga. It is preceded by The Maze
Runner, and followed by The Death
Cure, then by The Kill Order, and
finally The Fever Code.

3. Plot
The book starts with Thomas and the other teenagers known as "the Gladers,"
who had escaped from an experiment known as The Maze in the previous
book, sleeping in the dormitory they were brought to by a group of rescuers.
Thomas is woken by a telepathic communication with Teresa, the only female
Glader, who is afraid. As he wakes up, he finds that the facility is being attacked
by Cranks, aggressive zombie-like people that have been affected by a plague
known as "the Flare." He and other Gladers escape into the facility's common
area and discover that their rescuers are dead. They also find that Teresa is
missing from her room, and in her place is a boy named Aris Jones. Aris
explains that he escaped from a similar Maze experiment, dubbed "Group B," in
which he was the only male. The boys discover tattoos on their necks assigning
them roles. Aris is "The Partner," Newt is "The Glue," and Minho is "The
Leader," while Thomas' tattoo reads "To Be Killed by Group B."
The Gladers re-enter the common area and find the bodies of their rescuers
have disappeared. They find one of the scientists from WICKED, the
organization that created the experiment, who explains that WICKED has been
studying them to try to find a cure for the Flare. He tells them they have been
infected with the Flare and must in two weeks get through the Scorch, a burned
out section of the land, to find a safe haven and get the cure.

4.  I like Maze Runner:The scorch trials because it
is a book of science fiction, has action, drama
and has things that in real life doesn't exist, is
called my attention very much this type of
things.
