Get an early peek at James Dashner’s forthcoming YA novel, which doesn’t hit shelves until Oct, The Eye of Minds (RH/Delacorte YR; Listening Library) on USA Today.com, where the first chapter is posted today (ARC’s have not been sent out yet, but RH Childrens tells us that they will have them at ALA).

It is the first in a new series, Mortality Doctrine, which is described as “a series set in a world of hyperadvanced technology, cyberterrorists, and gaming.” During a TwitterChat last month, Dashner said that it is “basically for the exact same people who love The Maze Runner. A very different story, as Dashner as you can get … but more intellectual and plot-driven than TMR” and that the main female character, Sarah, “is more central than Teresa was in TMR.”

Dashner is currently at work on the sequel titled The Rule of Thoughts.

A film of The Maze Runner, starring Kaya Scodelario, is scheduled for release on Valentine’s Day, 2014.
