Nemesis (Resident Evil #5) [Mass Market Paperback]

S.D. Perry (Author)

Book Description

Series: Resident Evil (Pocket) | Publication Date: October 3, 2000

Zombies. Mutant animals. Bioengineered weapons and surgically enhanced monsters. Secret labs and widespread conspiracies. It seemed impossible, but Kill Valentine and her teammates among the S.T.A.R.S. had seen it all firsthand when the Umbrella Corporation turned Raccoon City into a staging ground for the most insidious genetic experiments ever conceived. After all she's been through, Valentine is ready to leave that remote mountain community forever. But Umbrella isn't finished with Raccoon City. Too much evidence of their unethical and immoral research still exists. It must be recovered or destroyed -- and quickly -- before it can be traced back to Umbrella. And with William Birkin's mutagenic virus already spreading through the city like wildfire, drastic measures are needed. Under cover of night, mercenary teams have entered the city, along with something else -- Umbrella's failsafe: an evolved version of its Tyrant-class killing machines, a lethal creature code-named Nemesis. Now Nemesis is on the hunt. And Jill Valentine is about to become prey.

5.0 out of 5 stars Done it again!, October 4, 2000

SD Perry has done it again, in style!

First I was sceptical of this book thinking that it might not be able to top the other excellent books in the series. After ordering and reading the first 4 books of the Resident Evil series, I completely fell in love with the books! None of the suspense from the game is missed and even more things are revealed which you cannot see in the game!

In Resident Evil: Nemesis, the excellence of the author still continues. This time Jill Valentine is fighting off the zombies once again in Raccoon City. It is much different because the incredibly strong Nemesis is after her, with vengeance!

Perry's style really keeps you going and makes you want to read more and more. The suspense really adds to the storyline and makes you want to read on.

Hard-core Resident Evil fans must own this book. Worth all the money!

5.0 out of 5 stars S.D. Perry is the greatest author, October 15, 2000

This review is from: Nemesis (Resident Evil #5) (Mass Market Paperback)

Resident Evil 3: Nemesis was a great game. At my age, I'm always playing Resident Evil games--I've beaten 2 and 3, and the new game Survivor, but haven't beaten 1 because it's a bit hard in my opinion, and I don't like renting it. I own Resident Evil 2, but I've borrowed Resident Evil 3 from my friend many times, and also rented it from Blockbuster. It's a really, really fun game. S.D. Perry keeps me from jumping reading this book (jumping out of fright). She is truly a great author, I don't know how she does it! But I hope she novelizes Resident Evil-Survivor, Code Veronica, and the game before Resident Evil 1--Resident Evil: Zero. Also, check out her original novels, Caliban Cove & Underworld, which are both fantastic books that I also own! Also check out The Umbrella Conspiracy & The City of the Dead--they're awesome novelizations of RE 1 + 2! You rule, S.D. Perry! Keep writing books! I highly reccommend this book for any horror fans.

4.0 out of 5 stars Yet another tense escape from Raccoon City., September 15, 2004

This review is from: Nemesis (Resident Evil #5) (Mass Market Paperback)

Raccoon City has fallen to the T-Virus and former STARS (Special Tactics And Rescue Squad) member Jill Valentine is trying to get out alive and uninfected. The Umbrella Corporation has other plans...

This novelization of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis follows the game narrative quite well and S.D. Perry fleshes out the character backgrounds/motivations nicely. It is not the experience of the game, but it is a fun read. Recommended.
