First Chapter of “The Eye of Minds”

Earlier today, USA Today released the first chapter of “The Eye of Minds”, the first book in James Dashner’s new series Mortality Doctrine that will be released October 8th. You can read the excerpt here.

If this is the first you are hearing about this new series, here is the first book’s synopsis:

The Eye of Minds, the first book in Dashner’s new series, The Mortality Doctrine, centers on Michael, a gamer who spends

 

the majority of his time in the addictive virtual-reality system known as the VirtNet. The VirtNet offers anyone with

money the chance to live in the fantasy world of their choosing — no risk, and if you’re an adept enough hacker, no rules.

But not all rules were made to be broken. One gamer is taking the others hostage inside of the VirtNet, and the

government turns to Michael to track this hacker down. Will he be able to survive off the VirtNet grid? Or will reality be lost to him forever?

I was honestly blown away by this excerpt and cannot wait for the book to come out. What did you think? Make sure to tell us, as well as the rest of the Internet, in the comments below.

 

“The Kill Order” Excerpt (!!!)

You can now read the prologue and first five chapters of the Maze Runner prequel on USA Today!!!

The prologue takes place hours to minutes before the original trilogy, but the actual story takes place 13 years before that, one year after the solar flares. In the first five chapters we meet seven new characters: Mark, Alec, Trina, Lana, Darnell, the Toad and Misty, all people trying to survive after the solar flares scorched most of the earth. These chapters take place near Asheville, North Carolina one year after these seven escape New York City and lose almost everybody they love.

I can tell already that this is going to be a great story and I can’t wait for August 14th. 82 days! Feel free to comment what you think about these first few chapters as well as how you would feel if you were in the same situation as Teresa in the prologue.

“A Mutiny in Time” Excerpt Released

This past week, we got some brand new writing from James Dashner! USA Today released the prologue and chapter one of “A Mutiny in Time”, the first book in the Infinity Ring series. James will only be writing the first and last books.

You can find these first chapters here or on the Infinity Ring website. At least for me, James’s style really shined in the writing. The unique names and words reminded me of The Maze Runner trilogy. “A Mutiny in Time” will be released on August 28th.
