Summary + discussion

For those keeping up with the latest in young adult dystopian fiction, Maze Runner:

The Scorch Trials continues the saga of Thomas (Dylan O'Brien) and his fellow

Gladers. They have escaped the Maze, but it is an 'out of the frying pan and into the

Scorch' experience. They leave their Garden of Eden existence and find themselves

at a transfer depot facility overseen by Jansen (Aiden Gilen). He claims to be helping

the ‘immunes’ to get to a community that is far from the barren wasteland called

The Scorch. Thomas and his band of brothers and Teresa (Kaya Scodelario) have to

determine if the outpost leadership has the best intensions. Is the depot designed to

set them free or to keep them captive? Also,they are still considering their exit of the

maze and they need to investigate the purpose of the mysterious organisation,

WCKD, and how Janson's outfit is involved. Their haphazard search for the truth

involves a multitude of other human outposts where they run into the hands of

organised crime gangs, infected zombie-like creatures and The Right Arm resistance

fighters, all in an attempt to stay ahead of WCKD’s special forces.
