The Fever Code by James Dashner

After the sun flares burned down the Earth and a plague killed off the remaining survivors, only a few people were left. Some of those survivors created WICKED, a group hoping to restore the world to the way it used to be. WICKED found Thomas, the perfect candidate for their team. He built the maze that may change everything forever.

This book was very okay. The story itself was not bad however I think the Maze Runner series should have ending with the first three books. I personally felt that this book was unnecessary. I would rate it a 3.5/5
