Thomas awakes inside a dark elevator which opens in the middle of large field -- called the Glade -- surrounded on all sides by several hundred feet high walls. He has no memory of his previous life except his name. He discovers that every month for the past 2 years, a teenage boy has been arrived here in the same manner. None of them know how to leave, but they all suspect the answer lies in the maze that lies just outside the walls. It's the Maze Runner's job to find that way out. With Thomas's arrival, life in the Glade starts to change.
Interesting book. I'm sort-of glad I saw the film first as I fear I would've been as lost as Thomas and the other characters to what in the world was happening. Curious though to know where this whole series is leading.
