Summery: They thought the end came in a flash.
Before WICKED was formed, before the Glade was built, before Thomas entered the Maze, sun flares hit the earth, killing most of the population.
The worst is yet to come.
Mark and Trina were there when it happened. They survived. But now a virus is spreading. A virus that fills humans with murderous rage.
There is no cure. No escape.
They’re convinced that there’s a way to save those who are left—if they can stay alive. Because in this new, devastated world, every life has a price. And to some you’re worth more dead than alive.
The end is only the beginning.
Review: The prologue starts from Teresa's P.O.V. right before Thomas is put into the maze. Chapter 1 starts thirteen years earlier from Mark's P.O.V., and it's been 1 year since the sun flares have hit the earth. I really liked this book. I liked reading about how the Flare virus stared as well as how it progressed and mutated. There's also some explanation as to how the idea for releasing the Flare came about. I liked going through how the sun flares hit and how people survived and how they reacted (a big part of was not surprised with people actions after). I also really liked the dynamic/relationships the main characters (Mark, Trina, Lana,and Alec) had with each other, although a couple you don't see for a good portion of the middle of the book. I liked Mark, but my favorite character was Alec. The most interesting part of the book, as well as my favorite part of the book was reading how the virus spread, and how the symptoms changed people into the people we know as Cranks. According to good reads there is going to be another prequel (whether it's going to be a short story or a good sized book I don't know yet), it's going to be about how they built the maze as well as how they trained the Gladers apparently, which sounds good (it'd expected to be released in 2016). There's also a short story that's between The Scorch Trials and The Death Cure that's about Thomas's first memory of the Flare which I read and enjoyed as well.
Hope everybody had/has a great day : )
