After surviving horrific conditions in the Maze, Thomas is entrapped, along with nineteen other boys, in a scientific experiment designed to observe their responses and gather data believed to be essential for the survival of the human race. The group has two weeks to cross through the Scorch -- the most burned-out section of the world. And the observers will continuously adjust the variables and stack the odds against them.

"Thomas y sus amigos descansan después de escapar del Laberinto. Por fin sienten que están a salvo. Pero unos gritos desquiciados los despiertan y los enfrentan a una realidad aún más aterradora que la anterior. Para sobrevivir, deberán emprender una travesía en la que cada desafío los enfrentará a nuevos peligros: calor ardiente, destrucción, un aire irrespirable. Cada paso es una sorpresa en una caminata casi apocalíptica. Lo que quedó...

When Thomas wakes up trapped in a massive maze with a group of other boys, he has no memory of the outside world other than strange dreams about a mysterious organization known as W.C.K.D. Only by piecing together fragments of his past with clues he discovers in the maze can Thomas hope to uncover his true purpose and a way to escape.
