R ist ein Zombie. Es ist ihm peinlich, dass er sich nur an den ersten Buchstaben seines Namens erinnern kann. Wie die anderen Zombies verbringt R seine Zeit mit Herumstehen und Stöhnen. Was die Wenigsten wissen: Tot sein ist leicht. Bei einem der Raubzüge in der Stadt trifft R auf Julie. Dummerweise hat er gerade das Hirn ihres Freundes gegessen. R weiß nicht warum, aber er verliebt sich unsterblich in Julie - ausgerechnet in ein lebendes menschliches Wesen. »Warm bodies« erzählt die Geschichte des bestaussehenden und charmantesten Zombies aller Zeiten.
The latest instalment in the WARM BODIES series plunges into dark new
territory. A romance between a zombie boy and a human girl is bound to have
its problems, but after battlingagainst 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.
Before becoming a zombie, R reflects on his destructive past and seeks redemption by confronting the Axiom Group, a sinister undead corporation. Joined by Julie and a small group, they embark on a road trip through a ravaged America, facing personal secrets and desperate quests, leading to a final showdown against an unstoppable plague.
Warm bodies. "The must-read prequel to the "strange and unexpected" (Audrey Niffenegger) and "highly original" (Seattle Times) zombie love story Warm Bodies--the New York Times bestseller and inspiration for the hit film--from the critically acclaimed author whose clever debut turned the classic horror story on its head. The end of the world didn't happen overnight. After years of war, societal breakdown, freak storms, and rising tides, humanity already hovered near the edge. Then came the most unexpected threat of all: the world's corpses rising up to deliver the final blow. Born into this bleak and bloody landscape, twelve-year-old Julie struggles to hold on to hope as she and her parents drive across the wastelands of America on a nightmarish road trip in search of a new home. Hungry, lost, and terrified, sixteen-year-old Nora finds herself her brother's sole guardian after her parents abandon them in the not-quite-empty ruins of Seattle. And in the darkness of a forest, a dead man opens his eyes. Who is he? What is he? With no clues beyond a red tie and the letter "R," he must unravel the grim mystery of his existence--right after he learns how to think, how to walk, and how to satisfy the monster howling in his belly."-- Provided by publisher
The Guardian called Warm Bodies 'the zombie novel with a heart'; Audrey Niffenegger said 'Warm Bodies is an unexpected treat', and Stephenie Meyer eagerly looked forward to the next book.

Two warped families and a lonely monster. Unknown to any of them, their paths are set to cross in a startling encounter that will change the course of their lives - or deaths - forever.
