The Kill Order is a young adult novel by James Dashner, and serves as a prequel to his hit Maze Runner trilogy. The Kill Order revolves around the efforts of Mark, Alec, Trina, Lana, and others, to forge a life and survive the horrors of a world hit the year before by destructive sun flares. The Kill Order thus deals with themes of friendship, love, survival, and dystopia when the very government meant to avert chaos plunges the world into it.
