The Kill Order is a prequel to the Maze Runner series. It is set on earth after the sun flares. Mark and Trina survived the sun flares and now live in the mountains. Just when their lives are turning back into a somewhat normal lifestyle, tragedy strikes. A bog (somewhat similar to a plane) flies over Mark and Trina's colony and starts firing poisonous darts everywhere. Anybody who is hit with them becomes sick and dies within a couple days. Mark, Trina, and a couple of their friends set off on a journey to find the source and cause of this bog.

As they travel towards where the bog came from they discover that all the colonies around them have been attacked too. The people in these colonies have turned into lunatics. They realize that they need to find a cure and reason why this happened. Eventually the lunatics turn into zombie type things and chase/attack Mark and Trina. The rest of the book is about them going to where the bog came     from and the problems on the way.

   

 I do need to warn people that this book was very violent. Almost every page had a scene where somebody would beat up somebody else. Also there were a couple of swear words and a few scenes where Mark and Trina made out. There are also some scenes that are kind of disgusting, like people's faces melting because it is so hot.


Despite these things this book was really entertaining and good. It was action packed and exciting. This book makes the Maze Runner make way more sense, and if you have read the Maze Runner series this is a must read. Another thing that I liked about this book was every chapter had a small cliffhanger that made you want to keep reading it.  So for these reasons I am giving it an A.
