Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Failure of the Hive to contain the Umbrella Corporation's most deadly viral creation has led to an outbreak of apocalyptic proportions. Now the streets of Raccoon City swarm with the living dead, compelling Umbrella to deploy another of its bioweapons, a hulking prototype soldier code-named NEMESIS that kills anything in its path.

Jill Valentine of the RCPD and several others are determined to get out of Raccoon alive, but only if they can escape the city's hordes of undead, Umbrella's unleashed creatures, and the relentless pursuit of Nemesis itself. Their one chance is with one of the only survivors of the Hive -- a young woman named Alice, who learns a terrifying secret behind her connection to Umbrella.

This review is from: Resident Evil: Apocalypse (Mass Market Paperback)

Keith R.A. DeCandido kept me entertained for the hour and a half that I sat reading this novelette. I even went so far as to go out and buy the first book 'Resident Evil: Genesis' a couple of days later when I had time to get to the Barnes and Nobles. Give this book a try, you won't regret it. It is the perfect fast paced, high action compliment to the movie.

This book gives you a rounded set of scenarios that realistically combines both the characters' thoughts and feelings. You can also get a simulated feel of the situation. DeCandido's fan-work made me want to get inside the book and join in the adventure. Hail DeCandido!!!!!!!

This review is from: Resident Evil: Apocalypse (Mass Market Paperback)

Alice Abernathy wakes up naked and alone both at the start and the end of the book. At the start of the book she knows she has been changed. She realises Umbrella have opened the Hive in Raccoon City, and the undeed are out killing everyone.

No-one will make it out alive without Alice's superpowered help. She realises it is worse than that, as a scientist calls with a deal to get some of them out if they save his daughter. They have to do it before Umbrella nukes the city, and Alice has a superhuman opponent to deal with - Nemesis, her old ally.
