The Kill Order (Maze Runner, Book 4; Origin) audiobook – Maze Runner, Book 4

In the midst of a long car journey, with the sun setting in the distance and the open road stretching ahead, I found myself completely absorbed in The Kill Order audiobook by James Dashner. This fourth installment in the Maze Runner series takes us back to the beginning, revealing the events that led to the infamous maze.

Dashner’s storytelling prowess shines through as he introduces us to Mark, Trina, Alec, and Lana, who find themselves seeking refuge from deadly solar flares. Little do they know that their safety is short-lived when they are taken hostage by a mysterious group on a yacht. As they embark on a treacherous voyage towards their chosen destination, they soon discover that there is more at stake than just their own lives.

The narration by Mark Deakins adds an extra layer of intensity to this gripping tale. His voice captures the tension and fear experienced by the characters as they navigate through a world plagued by a virus that turns people into horrifying monsters. Deakins’ consistent delivery throughout The Fever Code and The Maze Runner series makes him a trusted narrator for fans of Dashner’s work.

While The Kill Order may not directly tie into the main plotline of the series, it provides much-needed insight into how everything began. Dashner masterfully sets up the foundation for the thrilling maze adventures that captured readers’ hearts worldwide.
