THE FEVER CODE!

"Finally I'm going to write the book I've envisioned for almost 10 years"

— James Dashner

James Dashner has announced that he’s penned a second prequel novel, the fifth installment in The Maze Runner franchise, titled 'The Fever Code'.

Scheduled for release sometime in 2016, the novel follows the events after the 'Kill Order' and will be considered the second book in the chronological order of the series, and the fifth book overall. Additionally, the novel will explore the creation of the Maze, how the Gladers came to be, and the beginning of the trials explored in 'The Maze Runner'.

"From the very beginning, I've always wanted to write a prequel about Thomas, Teresa, Newt, Minho, Alby and all the Gladers that leads up to the very moment Thomas enters the Box. There are so many things hinted at that will be fun to reveal in depth. For years, fans have made it abundantly and enthusiastically clear that they want the same thing, so now seems like the perfect time to give readers the story of how the Maze began.

Biography: James Dashner!

James Smith Dashner was born in Austell, Georgia on November 26, 1972. He attended Brigham Young University where he studied accounting but decided to try his hand at writing, having been an avid reader since childhood. After several attempts, Dashner eventually created the character of Jimmy Fincher. Dashner would expand his story into an outline and eventually produced four books in a series, collectively known as The Jimmy Fincher Saga. After repeated rejections from publishers, Dashner's manuscript was well received by Cedar Fort and his writing career began to take form.

He is the author of the New York Times bestselling Maze Runner series that includes The Maze Runner, The Scorch Trials, The Death Cure, and The Kill Order. 

Dashner has stated that this series is heavily influenced by William Golding's The Lord of the Flies and Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game.

He is my favorite author because HE WROTE THE MAZE RUNNER SERIES!!!!

JAMES DASHNER AKA THE BEST WRITER (for me)

Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe (January 19, 1809 – October 7, 1849)  was an American author, poet, editor, and literaly critic, considered part of the American Romantic Movement. 
With his short stories and poems, Edgar Allan Poe captured the imagination and interest of readers around the world. His creative talents led to the beginning of different literary genres, earning him the nickname "Father of the Detective Story" among other distinctions. His life, however, has become a bit of mystery itself. And the lines between fact and fiction have been blurred substantially since his death.
