Waiting on Wednesday (9): The Kill Order by James Dashner

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.



My pick this week:

James Dashner
Release Date:  August 14, 2012
by Delacorte Books for Young Readers

The prequel to the New York Times bestselling Maze Runner series.

Before WICKED was formed, before the Glade was built, before Thomas entered the Maze, sun flares hit the earth and mankind fell to disease.

Mark and Trina were there when it happened, and they survived. But surviving the sun flares was easy compared to what came next. Now a disease of rage and lunacy races across the eastern United States, and there’s something suspicious about its origin. Worse yet, it’s mutating, and all evidence suggests that it will bring humanity to its knees.

Mark and Trina are convinced there’s a way to save those left living from descending into madness. And they’re determined to find it—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. (From Goodreads)



I read the other books in the Maze Runner series late last year and loved them!  So I’m very excited that The Kill Order, the prequel to the series, comes out next week!  Although I haven’t reviewed any of the other books here on my blog, so I’ll most likely be rereading and reviewing them before I read The Kill Order.


What book are you waiting on?  Let me know, or leave a link to your WoW post in the comments, and I’ll stop by your blog!

      I think the first one was the best, but I enjoyed the others, too. You should definitely try to get to them someday!

    Remind me again how it is that I haven't read The Maze Runner yet? I'm pretty sure I actually own it… Someday, all my unread books are going to get together and put a hit out on me. ;)

    I don't know how you have the time to go back and reread so many of these kinds of books before the next in the series comes out! I think it shows how loyal you are to the books you love! I hope you love this one as much as the others.

    1. Andrea @ The Overstuffed Bookcase

      August 12, 2012 at 6:29 pm

      I really don't have the time, but I want to review those great books on my blog, so I go back and read them so I can do that! :)
