Young Adult Fiction. Young Adult Literature. HTML:From James Dashner, author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Maze Runner series, comes the final book in the Mortality Doctrine series, an edge-of-your-seat cyber-adventure trilogy that includes The Eye of Minds and The Rule of Thoughts
Includes a sneak peek of The Fever Code, the highly-anticipated conclusion to the Maze Runner series—the novel that finally reveals how the maze was built!
   Michael used to live to game, but the games he was playing have become all too real. Only weeks ago, sinking into the Sleep was fun. The VirtNet combined the most cutting-edge technology and the most sophisticated gaming for a full mind-body experience. And it was Michael’s passion. But now every time Michael sinks, he risks his life.
    The games are over. The VirtNet has become a world of deadly consequences, and Kaine grows stronger by the day. The Mortality Doctrine—Kaine’s master plan—has nearly been realized, and little by little the line separating the virtual from the real is blurring. If Kaine succeeds, it will mean worldwide cyber domination. And it looks like Michael and his friends are the only ones who can put the monster back in the box—if Michael can figure out who his friends really are.
 
   The author who brought you the #1 New York Times bestselling MAZE RUNNER series and two #1 movies—The Maze Runner and The Scorch Trials—now brings you an electrifying cyber-adventure trilogy that takes you into a world of hyperadvanced technology, cyber terrorists, and gaming beyond your wildest dreams . . . and your worst nightmares.
 
Praise for the MORTALITY DOCTRINE series:
 
“Dashner takes full advantage of the Matrix-esque potential for asking ‘what is real.’” —io9.com
 
“Set in a world taken over by virtual reality gaming, the series perfectly capture[s] Dashner’s hallmarks for inventiveness, teen dialogue and an ability to add twists and turns like no other author.” —MTV.com
 
“A brilliant, visceral, gamified mash-up of The Matrix and Inception, guaranteed to thrill even the non-gaming crowd.” —Christian Science Monitor.

Michael vivía para jugar, pero los juegos a los que jugaba ahora son demasiado reales. Hace solo unas semanas todo era divertido, sin embargo, ahora todo es demasiado peligroso. VirNet se ha convertido en un mundo catastrófico y el plan de Kaine, una inteligencia artificial, de poblar la Tierra de mentes artificiales albergadas en cuerpos humanos está a punto de ser completado. Si se sale con la suya conseguirá cyber-dominar el mundo y Michael y sus amigos son los únicos que pueden evitarlo. Pero antes, Michael deberá averiguar quiénes son sus amigos realmente...

I confess, while I am a huge fan of James Dashner this conclusion to his newest trilogy was a bit of a disappointment - but perhaps it isn't fair to compare anything to the Maze Runner trilogy!.

The first two books were intriguing...and confusing at times. While Michael's character felt flat at times, I suppose this could be expected given who (or what) he was.

It was a pretty intriguing book that could also become a bit slow at times, and confusing at others. Who WAS the good guy? Ok, I got it...or do it. What the heck is going on? I admit, it is an amazing world he has created and how they are coding is pretty imaginative. He does a great job at wrapping up all the loose ends in this final chapter, with plenty of twists and turns. The book truly picks up the pace in the final third.

I enjoyed the book - but I'll be awaiting his next book (or rereading the Maze Runner) with greater anticipation.

I was provided an eARC of the book in exchange for my honest review. ( )

I was so looking forward to this book. This series just felt differently than the Maze Runner and I enjoyed it more. However, this book sucked. Lacked direction and really felt like James Dashner didn't know how to finish this book.

Because of this, I've come to a conclusion: James Dashner isn't a closer. He is a creative genius and fantastic set-up author, but wrapping up the story is not for him.

I will read this story again (because I loved the first two books), but I can't say if I'll ever read the conclusion again. ( )

Amazing. Complicated. Mind blowing. There are not enough words to do this book justice. Action packed from page 1 and the plot in this story will blow your mind. What is real and what is not? And whose sense of reality is the right one? ( )

This was a fun series to read! If you like the Maze Runner series, you will love these books.
This was a nice conclusion and a quick read. The story was well paced and had plenty of action to keep me interested. Michael, Sarah, and Bryson are now tasked with saving every person who uses the Virtnet from having their bodies stolen by tangents. They're still battling Kane, but have a new villain as well. James Dashner's writing is so interesting and just makes you want to read the book in one sitting. I listened to the audiobooks and the narrator did a great job with subtle voice changes and making you feel like you're inside the book.
Highly recommend these books! ( )
