The Kill Order
As my free reading book I picked The Kill Order. This book is a prequel to The Maze Runner series. I read that series about 2 years ago and I was so happy when I heard James Dashner was making a prequel. This is what it is about...
In a world that is falling apart because of the natural disaster of "The Sun Flare", survivors Mark, Alec, Trina, Lana, the Toad, Darnell, and Misty are finally settled into a settlement where other survivors are living. The Sun Flares killed half of the world because the sun's waves were too much for the world and unless you were underground or in a house away from any windows you would have overheated from the sun's violent flares. So after this natural disaster the group of 7 are happily living in a settlement. They are finally getting over the death of their friends and family and have become like a family themselves. But one day all of the sudden a berg (it is pretty much a fancy helicopter/plane) comes and starts shooting the people in the settlement with strange tubes filled with liquid. No one in the group, except for Darnel, gets hit with one. Darnel starts to go crazy and they have to isolate him from the rest of the group and he eventually dies. Now the 6 of them decide to travel to a new settlement but then Misty gets sick and she eventually dies and so does The Toad. Now only the 4 of them are struggling to survive. They go to other settlements but find the same result as their settlement, everyone is dead from being hit by a dart. Later in the book Mark finds out that the darts were an experiment that went horribly wrong. They wanted the darts to just kill people because there were too many people on Earth and not enough resources so the government thought they could start fresh, but they had to get rid of people first. But instead of killing people, the darts make them go crazy, and to make it worse the disease is air born. In the middle of the book the group of 4 find a little girl, Deedee and she joins their group. Her family was killed by the darts but somehow she is immune to the disease. I stopped reading here because I didn't want to blog about the ending just in case someone wants to read the book, which I suggest.
