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.
Thomas can only wonder - does he hold the secret of freedom somewhere
in his mind? Or will he forever be at the mercy of WICKED?
