It was the smell that began to drive Thomas slightly mad.
Thomas has been in complete isolation for three weeks. Thomas has endured the Maze and the Scorch Trials and has been infected with the Flare. All at the hands of WICKED. What's next?
WICKED had taken his life and those of his friends and were using them for whatever purposes they deemed necessary. No matter the consequences.
On the 26th day, the door opened: Rat Man.
"Do you think we enjoy all this? You think we enjoy watching you suffer? It's all been for a purpose, and very soon it will make sense to you."
Rat Man admitted that WICKED has done some awful things to Thomas and his friends, but he insists that it's all part of a plan that Thomas not only agreed to, but helped set in place.
"You are obviously well aware that we have a horrible disease eating the minds of humans worldwide. Everything we've done up till now has been calculated for one purpose and one purpose only: to analyze your brain patterns and build a blueprint from them. The goal is to use this blueprint to develop a cure for the Flare. The lives lost, the pain and suffering - you knew the stakes when this began. We all did. It was all done to ensure the survival of the human race. And we're very close. Very, very close."
The virus is man made, airborne, and highly contagious. Thomas learns that he and most of his friends are Munies, and on the outside they are really, really hated.
The Death Cure is the third and final book in the Maze Runner trilogy. Can Thomas and his friends stop WICKED from starting another round of trials? Can they find a cure? Can Teresa and Brenda be trusted? Is this the end of our world? You'll enjoy this thrilling, and often times terrifying, adventure.
