A romance between a zombie boy and a human girl is bound to have its problems, but after battling against the odds and the undead, it seemed that Julie and R had earned their happy ending. But they soon must face a new enemy more terrifying than the walking corpses that still roam the wasted cities: a faceless and merciless corporation who are seeking control of the ruins of America. The key to survival and victory may lie in R's past life, but can he finally face his own demons? The Burning World takes the Warm Bodies series into new and darker territory, upping the stakes and drawing comparisons to other blockbuster sequences such as Patrick Ness' Chaos Walking and Charlie Higson's The Enemy.
