The Burning World by J. G. Ballard, published as a Berkley Medallion paperback edition in August 1964. This vintage science fiction novel features the original 1964 copyright and is identified by cover markings F961 and a 50¢ price point.

A well-preserved example of mid-century speculative fiction printed in the United States.
