Books with author James Dashner

What if every time you made a choice that had a significant consequence, a new, alternate reality was created-the life that would've been? What if those new Realities were in danger? What if it were up to you to save all the realities-and in turn, the entire universe? Tick is a normal 13-year-old boy until a strange letter changes his life. The first of a series of cryptic messages, the letter explains that his world is in danger. To save his reality, Tick must solve a series of riddles. Luckily, he is not alone and soon makes two friends from other parts of the world, who have been receiving the same clues. Together they race against time to protect their world, realising along the way that theirs is not the only reality at stake. As events progress, it becomes apparent that Tick has some very unique powers that he must learn to master in order to keep protecting the 13 main realities from some terrifying dangers. As the characters realise that all realities are threatening to split at the seams, it seems that Tick is the key to restoring order and saving everyone's lives.

“Wonderful . . . Dashner shares with Rowling a nimble use of fancy, delayed revelation, and charm.” — Chicago Sun Times It’s been a quiet summer for Tick, Paul, and Sofia, but the latest message from Master George changes everything. The Realities are in danger — and from something more terrible than Mistress Jane and the mutated Chi’karda of the Thirteenth Reality. People from all Realities are unexplainably going insane. Worse, some Realities are fragmenting, disintegrating into nothingness. Master George has learned that Mr. Chu from the Fourth Reality is working on a mysterious new weapon called Dark Infinity. But no one has any idea how to stop the weapon — or even if it can be stopped. To make matters worse, Tick and his friends have been kidnapped, forced to wink from Reality to Reality, solving impossible riddles in order to survive the deadly traps surrounding them. Mistress Jane and Tick find themselves in a race to reach the weapon first — but who will destroy it and who will become its master?

The Trials are over. WICKED have collected all the information they can. Now it's up to the Gladers to complete the blueprint for the cure to the Flare with a final voluntary test. But something has happened that no-one at WICKED has foreseen: Thomas has remembered more than they think. And he knows WICKED can't be trusted ... The time for lies is over. But the truth is more dangerous than anyone could have imagined. With the Gladers divided, can they all make it?
