The Death Cure by James Dashner

The Death Cure by James Dashner is the third book in the Maze Runner Trilogy.  In this final installment, the Gladers continue their battle against WICKED, still not sure if they are good guys are truly evil.  The Flare, a debilitating disease has taken over the entire country.  Very few people are immune... including some of the Gladers!  WICKED is trying to "map out" a blueprint for the Flare by analyzing the brain patterns of the immune put into different situations.  Unfortunately for Thomas, the final test to complete the blueprint can only be administered to him and leads to death!  If WICKED is telling the truth, Thomas must decide whether to sacrifice himself to save the many who are infected with the Flare, or to fight to stay alive.

I really enjoyed this trilogy, particularly the first book, The Maze Runner.  Everything came together well in the final book.  All of my questions were answered and there was some room at the end for me to imagine what would happen next for the survivors.  This is a great series for those who enjoy The Hunger Games and other dystopian science fiction adventures.
