James Dashner fans eager for more from the world of the Mortality Doctrine series will be thrilled to hear about the publication of GUNNER SKALE: AN EYE OF MINDS STORY (Delacorte Press Books for Young Readers / on sale March 11, 2014 / $1.99), an original 25-page digital short story that gives readers yet another glimpse into the high-tech world of the Virtnet, which began in The Eye of Minds, and is a bridge between now and the August 26, 2014, publication of the series’ second novel, The Rule of Thoughts.
