Can You say die?

This book had a fast begining to start off with. And although it is vague at times, it still good. After all, vaguness leaves room for the real imagination thinkers to work. When I first started reading this, I believed the premise and thought that this could've been a great movie. It has all the making's of it. (I think that was the writer's intention.) And you love this one gimick involving a experiment in survival of the fittest. Enjoy.

A nice niche to the series

In Underworld, author SD Perry takes an interesting approach. Instead of having a story based on survival horror, she instead went into the direction of an action-adventure with horror elements. The familiar zombies that plague the Resident Evil universe are replaced with hordes of experimental animal-monsters. I consider Underworld like Resident Evil 4: a fresh new idea that appeals to both new and old fans of the series. Ironically, Leon is there to take charge into the new direction as one of the leading characters.

The story of Underworld is typical of the Resident Evil universe. The story focuses on characters from past Resident Evil stories. John, David, Rebecca, Claire, and Leon must infiltrate a secret underground Umbrella laboratory to retrieve a notebook full of secret codes at the request of the mysterious Trent - a secret character who seem to aid characters in past Resident Evil novels. The book is rather entertaining and fulfilling in the action and adventure sense. The book ends spectacularly with a lot of details about White Umbrella and more importantly, it reveals a lot of information and motives behind Trent.

Personally, I liked Underworld. Author SD Perry did a wonderful job in creating a believable world - even though Resident Evil is anything but. Underworld focuses more on the key players of Umbrella and tries to dig deeper into the hows and whys of Umbrella and its schemes. I believe any fan of Resident Evil will like this book. It is a wonderful spin off and it's nice to see an author who tries to legitimately create a niche in the Resident Evil world.

My favorite so far of the first four

For the last two weeks I've been reading this series of books, and so far I have completed 1-4. This book is my favorite so far. I really thought the story was interesting and it kind of let your imagination run wild. There was also some humor added at certain points that really made the book a good read. Out of all of the books, this one seemed the most intriguing to me. She somehow instilled a story about the STARS running through an Umbrella "Jurassic Park" of sorts with a true RE feel and some really funny comedy. Perry does miss a few notes here and there when it comes to her choice of words and writing in general, but to me her writing is very tolerable.

The one original book that I liked from the series

I thought this was a great book. Good emphasis on the characters, the plot, and the monsters.

A good story!!

I liked this story better than Caliban Cove. I wanted to give it a try since I had read some bad reviews about it. Honestly I think it's a good book. Now it doesn't have zombies in it but it does have freakish monsters in there. I think the best part is at the Epilogue when you find out more about Trent. Now things are coming together, making sense. So if you like S.D. Perry books I think you'll like this one. I would save this for the last though cause The Umbrella Conspiracy, The city of the dead, Nemesis, & Code Veronica are better this is just a another adventure not part of the storyline.
