James Dashner revealed the cover of The Kill Order, a prequel to The Maze Runner trilogy, late last week on his blog!

Before WICKED was formed, before the Glade was built, before Thomas entered the Maze, sun flares hit the earth and mankind fell to disease.

The Kill Order is the story of that fall.

A prequel to the Maze Runner trilogy, The Kill Order has been in the works since the completion of The Maze Runner. The story of civilization's fall was kept under wraps and is the explication of the events that began this bestselling series.

What an awesome cover! I've been excited to see the cover of James Dashner's The Kill Order for awhile now because they always hint about part of the setting in the book. And, of course, I'm really happy there will be a prequel so we'll be able to see everything that happened before WICKED started trying to take over everything. There was always so many questions raised in The Maze Runner trilogy, so it will be great to learn more about how the post-apocalyptic world Dashner has created was first led into such chaos.

Are you also looking forward to The Kill Order? And if you haven't checked out this series yet, I've reviewed all three of the books in The Maze Runner trilogy, if you'd like to read my thoughts on them: The Maze Runner, The Scorch Trials, and The Death Cure.
