The Maze Runner Files by James Dashner
4.0
This is a great collection of snippets that provide insights into the Maze Runner series.
When the solar flares burned out huge portions of the Earth, WICKED scientists figured there were too many people and not enough resources and released the Flare Virus. Announcements and bulletins from the early release of and panic over the Flare showcase what a terrible idea this population control attempt was. They tried to play God, and it blew up in their faces. I really have no sympathy for such an organization and zero trust that they'd make the right moral decisions. Emails within the group detail the start of the Trials, the Maze, and even some of what Thomas did.
The glimpses into the boys' lives were also great. Thomas' first memory of the Flare's taking his father and the effect that had on his mother. Frypan's hope and elation at regaining his memories. Minho's bravado, loyalty, and tenacity in the face of being asked to betray his friends. These all add a layer of interest to these characters. I hope Dashner writes more like this!
