No Memory, No Exit
James Dashner's 2009 novel opens as Thomas wakes inside an elevator that deposits him in the Glade, a clearing surrounded by towering stone walls. Inside live dozens of boys with no memory of the outside world, organised into a functioning community with one obsession: solving the maze that surrounds them. Runners venture in daily to map it. Nobody has ever survived a night inside. When Thomas arrives, the maze begins changing and the walls between everything they know start to come down.

WICKED is good.


:NOTE.half
Dashner wrote the novel after conceiving the image of a boy waking in a box with no memory and decided to build backward from that image to its cause. He has said he did not know what WICKED was when he started writing.
