The Scorch Trials
James Dashner
Publisher: Delacorte Books for Young Readers
To be released: October 12, 2010
Summary (from Goodreads):
The Maze was only the beginning…
Solving the Maze was supposed to be the end. No more puzzles. No more Variables. And no more running. Thomas was sure that escape meant he and the Gladers would get their lives back. But no one really knew what sort of life they were going back to.
In the Maze, life was easy. They had food, and shelter, and safety… until Teresa triggered the end. In the world outside the Maze, however, the end was triggered long ago.
Burned by sun flares and baked by a new, brutal climate, much of the earth is a wasteland. Government has disintegrated–and with it, order–and now Cranks, people covered in festering wounds and driven to murderous insanity by the infectious disease known as the Flare, roam the crumbling cities hunting for their next victim… and meal.
The Gladers are far from done running. Instead of freedom, they find themselves faced with another trial. They must cross the Scorch, the most burned-out section of the world, and arrive at a safe haven in two weeks. And WICKED has made sure to adjust the variables and stack the odds against them.
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?
I loved the Maze Runner (it was one of the ten books I brought to college with me) and since finishing the book I have been dying to find out what happens next. Iām extremely excited for the sequel to the Maze Runner. Iām hoping to attend a signing with James Dashner in October right after the release of this book, which makes me even more excited. Cannot wait to read this.
Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event highlighting exciting upcoming releases. It is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

I've heard such good things about The Maze Runner but I haven't had a chance to read it yet. I love the sound of both them, so I think I need to move them further up my list:)

I haven't read The Maze Runner and had no idea Dasher was making it a series. Is this the end or is it a trilogy? Sounds like an excellent choice. Thanks. LOVE your header BTW.
