Synopsis from Goodreads...
From the New York Times bestselling author of the Maze Runner series comes The Rule of Thoughts, the exciting sequel to The Eye of Minds. Fans of the Divergent series by Veronica Roth and The Hunger Games will love the new Mortality Doctrine series. Michael completed the Path. What he found at the end turned everything he’d ever known about his life—and the world—completely upside down. He barely survived. But it was the only way VirtNet Security knew to find the cyber-terrorist Kaine—and to make the Sleep safe for gamers once again. And, the truth Michael discovered about Kaine is more complex than they anticipated, and more terrifying than even the worst of their fears. Kaine is a tangent, a computer program that has become sentient. And Michael’s completing the Path was the first stage in turning Kaine’s master plan, the Mortality Doctrine, into a reality. The Mortality Doctrine will populate Earth entirely with human bodies harboring tangent minds. Any gamer who sinks into the VirtNet risks coming out with a tangent intelligence in control of their body. And the takeover has already begun...
"Sarah was up off the couch, moving before Michael could grab her. She was across the room, heading for the kitchen, Michael on her heels."--The Rule of Thoughts by James DashnerWhat are you reading this week?
I'm still not sure how I feel about the Maze Runner trilogy but this one sounds interesting and definitely worth a try.

DeleteWondering why he's after he. What'd she do??
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
There was a lot being revealed in that scene, but the two characters are good friends so he's not after her. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteOh my gosh, run, Sarah, grab a weapon! This is my first reaction, but after seeing your reply to another comment, it's clearly an overreaction. Lol. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteIt had a hard time deciding which quote I should pick for my 56 since some of the sentences on the page were massive spoilers. (But it does seem kind of misleading.) Thanks for stopping by, have a great weekend!
DeleteI still haven't read this author...that beginning makes me very curious. Thanks for sharing...and for visiting my blog.
