'Resident Evil' is the ongoing story of the men and women who combat a vast and sinister conspiracy involving secret bioweapons experiments. The stories tell of desperate acts of heroism and deduction in the face of mind-numbing horrors, treachery, and an ever-expanding web of secret agendas.
This second book in the series, released simultaneously with the game adaptation 'Resident Evil: The Umbrella Conspiracy' bridges the events depicted in the first two games, following our heroes' attempts to warn their superiors about the bio-threat, only to find they've been made outlaws by the conspiracy.
Forced to go underground, the team resolves to battle the conspiracy on its own, searching for the sites of similar experiments, wherever they might be. The team's first stop is Caliban Cove, Maine, where a boot-camp of zombie soldiers has been set up to begin the creation of an undead army.
Hidden beneath a towering lighthouse, through a complex maze of sea caves, and within the shell of a sunken shipwreck, the team battles unspeakable horrors and deadly deceptions.
