EPIDEMIA
EXTINCIÓN

Antes de que existiera CRUEL, antes de que se creara el Laberinto y mucho antes de que Thomas ingresara al Área, las llamaradas solares azotaron la Tierra y destruyeron el mundo que la Humanidad daba por sentado. Mark y Trina estaban allí cuando esto ocurrió, y sobrevivieron. Pero sobrevivir a las llamaradas fue sencillo, comparado a lo que vino después. Ahora una enfermedad que nubla la mente con ira y dolor se expande por todo el territorio, y hay algo muy sospechoso sobre su origen. Peor aún, está mutando, y la evidencia sugiere que pondrá a la Humanidad de rodillas ante el caos, previo a una muerte cada vez más segura y espantosa. Mark y Trina están convencidos de que hay un modo de salvar de la locura a los pocos que quedan. Y están determinados a encontrarlo si pueden mantenerse vivos y sanos. Porque en este nuevo y devastado mundo, cada vida tiene un precio. También la tuya. Y para algunos, vales más muerto que vivo.

Virus letal es la precuela de la trilogía Maze Runner, saga best seller del New York Times, éxito internacional en varios idiomas. En estas páginas se narra la historia de la caída del mundo y la civilización, y de cómo la Llamarada, enfermedad que comenzó por enloquecer a sus habitantes, hizo que algunos se plantearan soluciones drásticas y crueles para la supervivencia de los seres humanos… y del planeta al borde del delirio y la extinción.

    I couldn't put it down it was so gripping and fantastic. Though you are still left with a mystery at the end.

    A week written and entertaining YA book but unfortunately I was unable to forget the series’ utterly ridiculous and laughable base. We have a deadly virus (what we’ve developed), what we’ve analysed, know how it works and we even can mutate it and we know immunes so what’s the best idea to fight against it? Yeah, let’s build a (two!) giant underground labyrinths and let’s play Battle Royale with the immune children in them. Pure logic... NOT!

    If you're going into this story thinking all your questions are going to be answered, you'll be disappointed. It does fill in several previously unknowns. I still don't comprehend WICKED, but I understand Thomas more. We're given more interaction with the creepy cranks and knowledge of origin of the virus. We also see what kind of people Thomas, Teresa and many others were in the beginning. This book is a little more forthcoming and clearly written than the other books, but it has that vagueness. I am aggravated some that I didn't get more; yet, I love this style of of leaving me craving more.

    This was a definitely improvement from book four, giving Thomas and Teresa's backstories and revealing all they knew about how and why the Maze was built. It was certainly engaging. But I'm still disturbed by how violent this world is. From the cranks to the scientists to the government, everyone seems willing to sacrifice others without a thought. It's the Hunger Games, but even darker. It's also a reminder of why everyone loves Thomas so much. In the midst of all the horrifying, terrible things surrounding him, he never loses hope, hoping against all hope that just maybe he can make a difference. That doesn't make the stuff happening to him any easier to watch, but it makes me, as a reader, also hope on his behalf.

    Somehow this book managed to be just as stressful and full of secrets as the first four despite already knowing the ultimate end of the story. It follows Thomas from his beginnings all the way to how he ended up in the maze and I rather enjoyed having questions answered and I felt like this story wrapped up any lingering uncertainty the previous books might have left behind. It also left me with an extreme sense of nostalgia for the other books and if I didn't have so many other stories to read id probably go and get the first maze runner book and start it right now.

    A little better than The Kill Order, even with the very slow start. Once things start happening and the plot moving, the book becomes harder to put down. I have not read the main trilogy, so I don't know what, if anything has been spoiled.

    The Fever Code is the second of two books that chronologically pre-date James Dashner’s main Maze Runner trilogy. Most online book sites now have these two books listed as prequels, but IMHO, this one should be read as book #5 as ordered on the author’s website. The reason for this is that both prequels – but The Fever Code especially – give away major spoilers about the main trilogy. A large part of the fun of reading The Maze Runner and it’s sequels is the air of mystery and suspense surrounding what the Maze is, why the kids are in it, and what’s going to happen to them in the future. Well, The Fever Code basically gives away nearly all the answers to those questions. If you’re a reader who doesn’t really care about spoilers, then it may be easier to read the books in chronological order, but if like me, you’d much prefer to figure out the answers to all the mysteries as the characters reveal them, then you should definitely read the prequels after reading the original trilogy. I for one am extremely happy that I did.Unlike The Kill Order, the first prequel, which had an entirely new cast of characters, The Fever Code simply takes readers back in time about a decade before The Maze Runner begins. Except for the prologue, which is from Newt’s POV, showing what happened when he and his sister were taken by WICKED, the book is written entirely from Thomas’s third-person perspective. It starts right after Thomas (originally named Stephen), who was only about five years old at the time, came to live at WICKED headquarters after his mother, who was suffering from the Flare, turned him over to them. From there it takes us through all of his years training with WICKED, some of which were spent in near-total isolation, until he, Teresa, Aris, and Rachel were chosen as the “elites.” This meant that they were WICKED’s top candidates from among all the immunes they were training, and as such, they were tasked with working on the building of the Mazes and the implementation of the experiments that would take place inside them, as well as helping to oversee the projects once subjects were inserted. I very much enjoyed seeing Thomas’s evolution over this time and his thought processes about everything that was happening around him and the things he was working on. From the very first days at WICKED, he proved to be someone with a strong will and an independent streak, as well as a well-developed sense of right and wrong. While he wants to believe that what WICKED is doing is a good thing that will help mankind, as he uncovers more and more secrets and realizes more things about the organization and what they’re doing, the less he’s on board with it. Seeing how he was before having his memories wiped and being inserted into the Maze shed a lot of light on how he ended up becoming the savior of the story.The Fever Code doesn’t have the relentless pace or constant sense of danger that most of the other books in the series have, but as a YA book, it does still contain some mature content that could be objectionable for some readers. There’s no sexual content, not even kissing. There are occasionally a few mild bad words, but nothing too bothersome. However, there are various forms of violence throughout. WICKED took all the characters when they were just children, some by force, and they’re essentially using them as guinea pigs in an experiment to find a cure for a disease that they, themselves, created. A couple of times the kids are tortured. Deliberate physical pain is inflicted on Thomas when he’s only five years old, and a Griever is used to psychologically torture another character who’s probably just a young teen at the time, while Thomas is made to watch. There’s a scene where all the kids are taken to the Crank (humans who’ve basically turned zombie after being infected with the Flare) pits as punishment. After some of the kids are inserted into the Maze, Thomas sometimes struggles with watching them on the monitors each day, especially when bad things start happening, including some of them dying. There’s a somewhat bloody scene where Thomas must fight off and kill a scientist who’s turned Crank. Probably the most potentially disturbing part, though, is when Thomas and the other elites are sent to kill a number of WICKED officials and employees who’ve been infected. Most of the people are past the Gone and are more Crank than human at that point, but it still disturbs Thomas to have to do it. However, most of it is done without a great deal in the way of blood and gore. Since some of these things could potentially distress younger readers, I would probably only recommended the book for kids about fourteen and up who wouldn’t be bothered by the things I mentioned.Overall, I thought that The Fever Code was a really good book that gave me some valuable insights into the characters and their motivations, particularly Thomas and Teresa. I feel like I understand them better after reading this story, which makes their later actions in the main trilogy even more understandable. I also very much enjoyed seeing their friendship blossom, as well as their connections with all the other characters like Alby, Newt, Minho, and especially Chuck. Seeing how close they were before being sent into the Maze makes their friendships inside the Maze even stronger, but it did sadden me a bit knowing the outcome for some of them already. There were perhaps a couple of things I took issue with from a logical standpoint and one scene that was pretty predictable, but for the most part, I was able to overlook those things. I also have to give the author credit for throwing in a zinger during the final pages, something we didn’t already know, but that will make re-reading the original trilogy even more interesting the next time around. It was kind of a jaw-dropping moment that made the entire book worth it just for reveal. So for me, The Fever Code was every bit as good as the other books in the series.

    This book, as of all of this series was amazing. It was really cool to dive further into the world before the Maze Trials. I wasn't expecting to be much of a plot twisty book as I thought I had known everything about this dystopia but it really surprised me. I kind of wished that James had written this book in more POV's as the only character besides Thomas is Newt for kind of a prologue.

    Overall, this book was a lot better than I had expected and it was nice to see these characters again. It ended up breaking my heart a lot more than it should have but nonetheless was a great afternoon read.

    While there is interesting backstory in this novel, it is also clear that the motivation behind the cruelties in this series is vague. It's mad science for the sake of the science, sort of.

    This is a direct prequel to The Maze Runner which I found a little disappointing as I was hoping for a continuation from The Kill Order, regardless more of a good series is usually better.The story begins with the collection of children for WICKED and we find out how it all began, how the maze came to be and so forth, unfortunately what is covers isn't really news as most of it was alluded to in the original novels.I definitely think you wouldn't want to read this before the original novels as it would ruin a fair bit of the mystery - it's best left for after the original trilogy. That said the book itself is rather enthralling, I read it in one sitting. In this you are further exposed to just how self serving the scientists running the program are and how manipulative Dr Paige is. She was certainly playing the long game with her machinations.

    Better than most of the Maze Runner books, this prequel lacked new material, created plot holes that didn't exist before, and added little to the existing characters. What makes it better, then, you ask? It wasn't rushed. Time was allowed to pass. While that time was often a little confusing (characters acting very different than their ages implied), it was over all much better than the constant action of the previous books.

    Also, lest I forget: Teresa is the worst.

    Oh man. I have loved absolutely every word of this entire series. It is by far my favorite one and I am sad to see this series go. I have laughed and cried, my heart broke on more than one occasion. It was seriously so good and I devoured every word whenever I was reading. There was plenty of suspense throughout the story and the plot line itself was just amazing and creative. Dashner does an excellent job of pulling the reader in and giving the perfect amount of detail to easily picture each scene.
    Admittedly, I was afraid that this particular book would be more on the boring side. I mean, it's the story of how the maze was created, how all the Gladers met, how they went into the maze. I knew some of it would be interesting and that there would be a few parts I'd definitely want to read. However, I also thought it would be a lot of technical stuff I honestly couldn't care less about. But no, Dashner found a way to keep it exciting, to put you on your toes. From Crank encounters to just plain awful Psychs, this was definitely not a boring read.
    I might be biased but I definitely recommend this and the rest of the series. It is my favorite for a reason, after all. I don't, however, recommend reading the prequels before the main three. It changes the story, knowing how it all started. I liked being able to make guesses, fall in love with the characters (mostly Newt), and find out along with the Gladers what on earth was going on. I think it was smart of Dashner to write these in the order that he did and I honestly think it made the experience that much better. Overall, I'd give this series 10 stars out 5 just for sheer amazingness. I love this series so freaking much and you can bet that I will read them all again and again. I never reread books so that should tell you just how much I honestly love this series.
