Many of us know how the story ends, but
do you want to know how the story began? Mark is a survivor. When
the sun flares hit Earth and killed people and modern society, he
stayed alive with his friend Trina and they met Alec (a retired
soldier who knew what it took to survive). A year has passed since
the sun flares and Mark is living with others in a settlement high in
the Appalachian Mountains. Unexpectedly a berg appears and people in
green suits start shooting darts at residents in the settlement.
Alec and Mark board and crash the berg discovering that someone was
intentionally infecting people with a virus. After returning to the
settlement they discover that all but one person hit with a dart has
died and the one survivor has gone crazy.
The survivors decide they are not going
to be victims and they leave looking for a compound they believe is
responsible for this attack. Along the way the reader learns more
about the days following the sun flares and intentional release of
the virus “The Flare.” Although the reader can truly enjoy this
book without reading the first three books (this is a prequel), the
remain books will not be as enjoyable because many things are
revealed in this book that are surprises in the others. I recommend
reading this book AFTER finishing the first three: The Maze Runner,
The Scorch Trials and The Death Cure. Goodreads Book Information
