This sequel of The Maze Runner shows teens in a dark-dark dystopia where "scientists" put them through horrific trials, supposedly to help save humanity (but there's little evidence of this). It's even darker and more violent than other popular dystopian reads geared toward 14 and up. Teens get decapitated in pitch-blackness, killed by lightning (the burns and a severed leg are described), attacked by a city full of mad diseased people who turn cannibal when they're too far gone, drugged, kidnapped, shot, pitted against each other, and, worst of all, when they think the nightmare is over they are manipulated by the "scientists" all over again.

After solving the maze with his friends Minho, Newt, Teresa and others, Thomas thought they would finally get a break. But WICKED has other ideas for him. It puts them to another test. They must travel through the Scorch, a wasteland destroyed by the Sun Flares, to get their memories back and to get themselves cured of the horrible disease, the Flare. Are Thomas and his friends up against the task of crossing the Scorch, where the Cranks and waiting to rip them apart and find a cure? The Scorch Trails is an amazing sequel of the Maze Runner, penned by the bestselling author James Dashner. This book is of the SciFi and adventure genre. Published by the Chicken House publications, this book costs 350/- as per the Indian currency and $6.99 as per the U.S. currency. Have a read guys!
