James Dashner to Write Prequel to The Maze Runner Trilogy

Delacorte Press

Delacorte Press announced today that James Dashner will write a prequel to his bestselling "Maze Runner" trilogy of young adult thrillers. Titled The Kill Order, the book will be published on August 14th, 2012.

"The prequel is something that has churned in my mind since before The Maze Runner was even complete," said Dashner. "It's been hard to keep it a secret! I'm excited to finally share the news and I can't wait for my readers to see how it all began."

Before WICKED was formed, before the Glade was built, before Thomas entered the Maze, sun flares seared the earth and mankind fell to disease. The Kill Order tells the story of that fall.

The books in the series are The Maze Runner (2009), The Scorch Trials (2010), and The Death Cure (2011). The series has been optioned for film, with Catherine Hardwicke (The Twilight Saga: Twilight) slated to direct a screenplay by Noah Oppenheim.
