You know that song by Bruno Mars where he claims he'd catch a grenade for someone? Well, that's a scenario that's more than possible in The Kill Order. And all of our main characters would not only catch the grenade for their friends, but they'd throw it back before it could explode.
Some people are fueled by the past, by rage, or by pure determination—but all of the characters are fueled the most by friendship. No man is left behind in this book, and the camaraderie seen here is similar to that of the Gladers.
