The Maze Runner:
A boy named Thomas arrives in a place called the Glade. He doesn't remember anything and is confused about his new surroundings. Thomas meets a boy, named Chuck, and becomes friends with him. Thomas finally becomes somewhat familiar with the Glade and the people with him called Gladers. He knows he wants to be a runner, a person who explores the maze they are trapped in. A Glader, named Ben, tries to kill Thomas because he had gone through the changing and saw him doing "bad things." Gladers go through the changing when they are stung by Grievers, the large creatures that rome the maze, and are injected with a serum to survive. Ben gets banished, put into the maze to be attacked by Grievers, because he tries to kill Thomas. Then a new Glader comes into the Glade, and things began to change.
The new Glader is a girl and is also in a coma. She has a note in her hand that says she is the last person to be sent there...ever. A new boy comes into the Glade every month, for two years, until now. She mumbles, "Everything is going to change." People are thinking Thomas is the cause of the change. Gally, another Glader, goes crazy and also wants to kill Thomas (he had gone through the changing, too).
Thomas becomes a runner and meets a boy named Minho, who is the leader of the runners. He spent the night in the maze with him earlier, trying to protect him and a boy named Alby. The walls of the maze shut every night. They shut on Thomas. They make it till morning and save Alby, who was stung.
The sky turns gray, the girl wakes up, no food and supplies arrive, and the walls don't close at night...more changes. Thomas keeps hearing the girl's voice in his head. He figures out her name is Teresa. When Teresa is better, she talks to Thomas and tells him she is telepathic, but she can only "talk" to Thomas. She remembers certain things about the Glade.
The runners record what the maze looks like each day, because it changes daily. Teresa and Thomas come up with an idea to solve the maze. They come with the words: FLOAT, CATCH, BLEED, DEATH, STIFF, and PUSH.
They can't figure out what the words have to do with anything though. Thomas gets stung by Grievers on purpose, hoping he would go through the changing and remember things. He did.
He finds out the maze is a test to see if they can survive the real world. He also figures the way out. There is a spot in the maze where the Grievers enter and exit. They need to go through it.
The Gladers pack the supplies they need and go into the maze. First, Alby goes and sacfifices himself, because he says the real world is worse than dying. People fight the Grievers after that to make a path for Teresa, Thomas, and Chuck, so they can go through the Griever Hole first and type in the code. They go in and Teresa types in the code in a computer that is there, but the word "push" doesn't enter. In the meantime, Thomas tries to fight off Grievers that make it through the hole after them. He kills one. Chuck tells Teresa to push the button that says "kill the maze,"...it works. The Grievers shut down. Twenty other Gladers make it through the hole with them, then they meet the creators. The creators are the ones who control the maze, send them their food and supplies, and send them there to test them. Gally is also there.
Gally tries to stab Thomas, but Chuck defends him and gets killed. Gally is controlled by the creators. Random people come and start shooting the creators with guns. They "save" the Gladers. The Gladers are taken to a community where all seems good...

The Maze Runner:
Thomas wakes up in a box traveling to Glade, but all he remembers is his first name. Thomas meets Chuck, Alby, Newt, and Gally, in Glade. Thomas learns about Grievers and The Changing. Ben, who went through The Changing, attempted to kill Thomas, but failed, and was banished. Suddnely, the first girl, or last Glader, arrives in the box, in a coma. Later on, the keeper of the runners, Minho, spots a dead Griever in the Maze, so he and Alby search for evidence the next day.
Alby was stung by the playing dead Griever, so Thomas jumped in the Maze to save them, when the walls closed. They all survived, but Thomas went to jail, for breaking the rules, and became a runner. Minho trained Thomas and showed him the Secret Closet and the Weapon Room. Soon the girl began telepathy with Thomas. She wakes up after an intense conversation.
Teresa, the girl, finds the code to escape the Maze; FLOAT, CATCH, BLEED, DEATH, STIFF, PUSH. They had to escape because the walls stopped closing at night and the Grievers got into the Glade. When they reached the real world, Gally and a creator met them. Gally attempted to kill Thomas, while under control of the creator, but Chuck saved Thomas and was killed. A man shoots down the creator and takes the Gladers to a community.

The Scorch Trials:
When the Gladers woke up, they soon realized things were going wrong. The Gladers were introduced to people called Cranks. Cranks are people who go crazy after catching the disease called the Flare. The Gladers also met a boy named Aris, who apparently went through the same exact text they did in the maze, only with all girls and one boy...him. Many odd things happened in the community. There were dead bodies hanging from the ceiling; everyone got tattoos in the middle of the night, Minho's saying he is the leader and Thomas' saying he will be killed by Group B; and a man that sat at a desk in the community, behind an invisible shield.
The man told the Gladers to go through a flat-trans the next morning in order to survive, because they had all caught the Flare. The man was a part of WICKED, and he told them they were testing the Gladers' reactions to certain "trails" they put in front of them. After they went through the flat-trans, they were supposed to cross the Scorch and make it to the " Safe Haven" to find a cure for the disease. The Scorch is the place that had been hit by sun flares the worst. All of the people who caught the Flare were also sent there.
The next morning, the Gladers went through the flat-trans one by one. Next they encountered a long tunnel with metal walls. A voice kept telling them to turn back, but they didn't...they wanted the cure. Metal balls sliced people and sucked up their hair and skin. The Gladers got out by escaping through the roof.
They were greeted with burning land at overpowering temperatures. They decided to make their way across the Scorch. The Gladers saw a girl who was standing by a shack nearby, so Thomas went over to her and saw that it was Teresa. She tried to tell him things, but she looked like she was being controlled by WICKED. She finally told Thomas that he needed to stay away from her, but that they would later be reunited. She kissed him, then Thomas left her.
Soon a storm came, so they decided to make their way towards the city. The Gladers came across an old man lying on the ground. He mumbled things to the Gladers about the storm. He said the storm was terrible and they should go somewhere for cover. The storm kept getting worse, and they lost many Gladers along the way. Finally, they made it to a building.
The Gladers figured out the building was ruled by Cranks. The main leader's name was Jorge. Thomas convinced them to help the Gladers, but Jorge told Thomas that only two of them would...him and a girl named Brenda. The two of them lead them to the basement, to feed the Gladers. They started eating, when an explosion went off nearby.
Thomas and Brenda were stuck in the basement. They could either stay there, or go towards the Underneath. The Underneath Was a underground tunnel that went under most of the city. It was filled with cranks. They encountered a few cranks that wanted to kill them for their noses, and hid away from them. Thomas ended up killing a crank by stabbing him in the heart. They made it out of the Underneath and slept in an old truck. When they woke up Thomas found signs saying "Thomas you're the real leader." Then, another group of cranks found them.
This group told them to dance at their party, or else they would kill the two of them. Thomas and Brenda did as they were told. The cranks gave them drinks, that ended up knocking them out. In the morning, the cranks asked them questions about where they came from and why there were signs everywhere saying Thomas is the leader, as they were strapped to chairs. Then the rest of the Gladers and Jorge rescued them. As they were escaping, Thomas was shot in his left shoulder.
People from WICKED came and rescued Thomas, and fixed his shoulder. Thomas heard a few members talking about how the shooting wasn't planned, and how he was the "best canidate to survive". When he was sent back, Thomas told his group what had happened. That night Teresa "told" him something bad was going to happen to him, but he had to trust her.
The next morning, the group started their journey again. They were greeted by Teresa...and Group B. They captured Thomas and told him they were going to kill him.
When they got to their site, they tied Thomas up in a tree. He convinced them not to kill him.
He traveled with Group B for a while, when Teresa and Aris took him into a building. They told Thomas to go into a room inside the building, but Thomas refused. Teresa and Aris fought Thomas until he was in the room. The room ended up being a gas chamber. When he got out of the room, Teresa explained what had happened.
She explained that WICKED told her to do that, and to see Thomas in the shack right before the storm, and that her and Aris were together. She also explained that her and Aris were working for WICKED in the Glade, and that she had been doing things in the Glade with Thomas to get the answers WICKED needed to the variables they put in front of him and the other Gladers.
They started to head towards the Safe Haven again. Thomas, Aris, and Teresa met up with Group B and Thomas' group. Then they found a stick in the ground that said "Safe Haven". After waiting there for a while, they spotted a ton of white boxes. Some realized they had seen the boxes before, in the Glade. They thought they were possibly used as Griever chargers before.
Then, out of the boxes came orange-spotted, human like creatures with spikes on their fingers and toes. The also had no hair or faces. The groups fought the creatures and found a "Berg", as Jorge called it. He explained that he and Brenda had been brought in one, when they found out they had the flare.
There was a WICKED member waiting for them to go inside. When they tried to go, the member asked who Brenda and Jorge were. He told Thomas that only one could go through and he had to choose which one would be killed. Thomas chose Brenda to be killed but as the member was going to shoot her, Thomas grabbed the gun from the member and the member told them they could all go inside.
When everyone made it onto the Berg, they took showers, ate food, and slept. Thomas had a dream that Brenda was telling him that something bad was going to happen for him soon. Thomas woke up to find himself in a white, empty room, except for a beat up desk that was surrounded by an invisible shield...

The Scorch Trials
The book starts when Thomas wakes up and has a brief conversation with Teresa, telepathically. When the Gladers are released, Teresa is gone, and Aris appears, saying his best friend Rachel was killed. Aris could speak telepathically with Rachel, Thomas, and Teresa. The Gladers started getting tattoos classifying them into groups. Group A were the boy Gladers and Group B were the girl Gladers, who were put into a different maze.
Thomas soon meets Brenda, who claims she is a Crank and they go together to find a cure for the Flare. They run into noseless Cranks and hide. Thomas kills a Crank, to save his own life, and feels incredibly guilty.
Jorge, another Crank, invites the Gladers into the Crank House, where Minho and Jorge fight. The Gladers and Jorge make a deal to survive.
When Thomas is alone he is classified as "The Real Leader." Brenda tries to kiss Thomas, but he rejects her, thinking about Teresa the entire time.
WICKED tells Thomas that he is close to the "Safe Haven." Thomas begins to have memory dreams. Blondie shoots Thomas, but WICKED saves him with a machine. The Gladers have a fight, when four die. Teresa and Minho betray Thomas. Teresa tells Thomas that WICKED would have killed him if they hadn't obeyed WICKED. There was no safe haven, the Cranks were just a trial, and Thomas could not trust Teresa.
Soon Thomas wakes up in captivity. Teresa, telepathically, tells Thomas that WICKED is good. Then Teresa is gone.

One of Marks friends, Darnell becomes crazy, he spread the disease to Misty, and Misty spread it to Toad. Mark, Alec, Trina, and Lana are determined to find out who did this to their village.
On their mission they find an abandoned village. As they search the village they find a little girl named Deedee. Deedee got shot with an infected dart, but shows no signs of the disease. They decide to take Deedee with them. Later they hear people singing in the woods, Deedee thinks it's members from her old village. Mark and Alec decide to go find out what these people want. All of them are infected with the disease and are crazy. Mark and Alec have to fight their way out. Someone had set off a huge wildfire and by the time Mark and Alec get back to their camp Trina, Deedee, and Lana are missing.
On their search for the girls Mark and Alec sneak into PCC. They are able to get a lot of information about the disease and what their plan is. They are able to steel PCC's berg and now they are able to go look for their friends.
In the berg they find a weapon called a transvice, it's the most deadly weapon. Alec and Mark go out to all the infected people to get Lana, Deedee, and Trina. Alec spots Lana getting tortured by these men, so Alec puts her out of her misery and shoots her with his transvice. Mark and Alec fight through many infected people.
