The group, along with a couple of other members, escape to the mountains, somewhere near North Carolina. Their military backgrounds are what save Mark and Trina from certain death in the aftermath of the sun flares. They stick together, and meet up with Alec and Lana, who are middle-aged former military members. Mark and Trina are the main characters, both losing their entire family to the sun flares. The majority of the book takes place 13 years prior, a year after the sun flares damaged the earth. The prologue ends with Thomas being delivered into the Glade. She is watching Thomas, the boy she loves, go through the procedure, all the while knowing she will also go through it the next day, and be delivered to The Maze all in the quest for a cure for The Flare. The Kill Order starts with Teresa (I still don't really know how I feel about that sneaky girl) watching Thomas go through the procedure to have his memories wiped. Finally, a chance to get my questions answered! I had a lot of questions after finishing The Death Cure, so I was really excited to see that Dashner has written a prequel to the series. The Maze Runner trilogy was hit-and-miss for me: The Maze Runner(book one) was just okay, The Scorch Trials(book two) was excellent, and The Death Cure(book three) was good but not great.
