The The Maze Runner novel was published on October 6, 2009, by Delacorte Press, an imprint of Random House, and was made into a 2014 major motion picture by 20th Century Fox, directed by Wes Ball. Thomas wakes up in a metal elevator that brings him to the Glade. He has no memory of who he is or how he got there, except for his name.
Development of The Maze Runner, his publisher wanted him to write another book, but he decided he would try for a national book market instead. In November of that year he had an idea when going to be “about a bunch of teenagers living inside an unsolvable Maze full of hideous creatures, in the future, in a dark, dystopian world. It would be an experiment, to study their minds. Terrible things would be done to them – awful things; completely hopeless – until the victims turn everything on its head.” The The Maze Runner book was later published in 2008.
