If Min’s repeated “deaths” at the hands of the man in the black suit and the hunt for the truth behind Project Nemesis hooked you, you’ll tear through The Maze Runner. Like Min and Noah trying to decipher Fire Lake’s secret experiments and the Anvil cover-up, Thomas wakes in a hostile maze with his memory wiped and must piece together who’s controlling their prison and why. The drip-feed clues, dangerous tests, and sinister overseers scratch the same itch as Nemesis’s escalating investigations.

If you enjoyed how Min Wilder and Noah Livingston trade perspectives as they uncover the truth behind their murders and the Authority’s simulations, Illuminae delivers that same two-pronged intensity. Kady and Ezra narrate from different angles as corporate and military secrets close in—much like Min and Noah discovering what Fire Lake really is. The dossier format and split viewpoints amplify the paranoia and momentum you loved in Nemesis.

If the authoritarian manipulation in Nemesis—from the black-suited killer to the Authority’s selection and survival trials—grabbed you, Legend hits the same nerve. Day and June navigate a militarized state that experiments on and exploits its young citizens, uncovering what their government has concealed. The cat-and-mouse tension and high-stakes revelations echo Min and Noah’s battle against the powers running Fire Lake.

If Noah’s blackouts, splintered memories, and chilling self-doubt drew you in—and Min’s struggle to trust what’s real after being killed and waking up again—More Than This will resonate. Seth awakens after death into a desolate world that might be constructed, forcing him to interrogate his past and identity, much like the way Nemesis probes the psychological fallout of the Authority’s experiment.

If the whiplash turns in Nemesis—from the man in the black suit’s murders to the reveal of the Authority’s staged scenarios—left you breathless, Nyxia offers equally devious surprises. Emmett enters a corporate-run contest where alliances shift, rules mutate, and hidden agendas keep detonating, mirroring the way Min and Noah discover that every “test” in Fire Lake masks a bigger trap.
