Resident Evil - The Umbrella Conspiracy (1998) is a novelisation of Capcoms popular video game Resident Evil (1995) this book was published during the time when the world was in a science fiction craze Perry seized this opportunity and published this book, the video game was loved by the world and this novel was sure to follow in the game’s footsteps. This book being a novelisation of the original resident evil game has the exact events occurring plus S.D Perry’s talent of creating a more in depth experience. Resident Evil - The Umbrella Conspiracy features the classic S.T.A.R.S (Special Tactics And Rescue Squad) in a critical situation that was the foundation of this multi-million dollar gaming series; Resident Evil. This was the situation that started it all! 1998- (The Mansion Incident).
The story starts in Raccoon City a mid-western town in America. There has been a series of grizzly murders in the Arkley Mountains near the old Spencer estate on the outskirts of raccoon city, the S.T.A.R.S Alpha Team are sent to investigate. Back at the base the alpha team doesn’t respond to radio calls made by fellow team mates, and after a while the bravo team leader Albert Wesker a cool, sly character who appears only in sunglasses and dark combat gear (this is his trade mark costume) is worried and orders the S.T.A.R.S Bravo team to move out and investigate. Whilst on there investigation night falls upon them, after searching for a few hours they see billowing smoke rising from the dense trees, here they find a the wreak of the Alpha teams Chopper they arrive at the scene and find no one at the crash site. At that moment no one knows what’s going on could this be a sick joke? What about the cannibalistic murders a sick ritual of some crazy cult? What about that big old mansion? The S.T.A.R.S team are in for a shocker.
Resident Evil - The Umbrella Conspiracy isn’t like any other of S.D Perry’s work
Its truly one of a kind her descriptiveness used in the book it really fantastic but there is one similarity to her other writing, the suspense and twist no other author can replicate the in depth explanations and background of the character making the reader feel what there about and perhaps relate to it in some way, to the extent that people actually think these events in the book are possible this is Perry’s way of writing. This book was the biggest success of her career.
For a fan of the game, the Umbrella Conspiracy by S.D. is a real treat me being a huge fan I loved it and rated it 4 out of 5 stars for its colorful back-story to the game also the author’s use of words that really made everything fit together. And even for newbie’s of the series, it helps to get a grasp of the timeline and the story itself. I a really good read that makes you feel one with the storyline. I personally recommend it for people who are sick of reading the same type of author and styles of writing over and over again get out there feel the Perry difference!
