## Description

desertcart.com: Resident Evil: The Umbrella Conspiracy: 9781781161777: Perry, S.D.: Books

Review: Corporate Cover-Ups Create Catastrophe - The Umbrella Conspiracy is the kind of novel that proves Resident Evil was never just about zombies — it’s about what happens when corporate greed, unchecked science, and secrecy collide. What really makes this book stand out is how well it expands on the beloved game many of us grew up loving. It fills in the story gaps fans have always been curious about, adding background, motivation, and context that the games only hinted at. Instead of replacing the source material, it enhances it, giving longtime fans more of the lore we’ve been craving for years. The book does an excellent job setting the foundation for the entire Resident Evil universe. Rather than relying on nonstop action, it builds tension slowly and intelligently. You get a clear look at how the Umbrella Corporation operates behind closed doors, how critical decisions are made, and how those choices spiral into catastrophe. That added depth makes the horror feel earned instead of exaggerated. The pacing is strong, maintaining a steady sense of dread that keeps you turning pages. The writing is clear and approachable, even when touching on scientific ideas, and it never feels confusing or overdone. Fans of the games will appreciate how faithful the story is to the established lore, while newcomers won’t feel lost — everything is introduced naturally through the narrative. What stood out most is how grounded the horror feels. The real fear doesn’t come from the creatures alone, but from the realization that this disaster was avoidable. The characters react believably, the stakes feel real, and the consequences are chilling. If you’re a longtime Resident Evil fan, this is essential reading. If you’re new to the franchise, it’s one of the strongest entry points available. Either way, it’s a tense, atmospheric read that deepens your appreciation for the world and stays with you long after the final page. Highly recommended for fans of survival horror, sci-fi thrillers, and anyone who’s ever wanted more story from the Resident Evil universe they grew up with.
Review: Great start to an alternate universe - S.D. Perry (while I haven't read much of anything else by her) is a name that I see a lot as a nerd who frequents Barnes and Noble. In the sci-fi and fantasy sections, I usually see her name lumped in with all the other tie in novel writers. I see her name attached to Aliens, AVP, and of course Resident Evil, quite often. I adore all these series, Resident Evil above all, with Alien being a close second (the original film being my all-time favorite), and I always wanted to read them. As quite often I hear people say that anything written by Perry is bound to be entertaining. And this was certainly a very entertaining read. It had a few bits of the original games scrappy dialogue, my favorite being in the first few chapters, Chris's infamous "No! Don't go!" And it also contained a few of the files from the game for added measure. Tying it together nicely. Along with having a few of those little bits of needed and admittedly welcome fan service, it adds a lot to the characters that we didn't get to see in the original game. Such as Jill, and who she really is, and what she's done in the past. Although, it goes without saying that the things stated in this book are canon ONLY to the books in this series, and not the main games or CG movies that officially fit in the main canon. And certainly not those atrocious live action movies... Two of the books in this series are original stories, the book after this one being the first of which, focusing on what Rebecca does after the Spencer Mansion incident. I'm looking forward to reading that, even if it isn't canon to the games, as Rebecca is a personal favorite of mine, and I find it sad that she's been missing in the main canon, only appearing in two games (and the upcoming CG movie, I squealed when I saw the trailer, thank you Capcom). All in all, I wholeheartedly recommend reading this book if you want a good, entertaining time passer. Just don't expect anything too new, if you've played the game, you know everything that happens in this book aside from the first three or so chapters, and the deviations made to make it flow better in written form.

Worth the read if you played the first game. Minor changes from the game, but the story is the same. Sheds more light on the characters. I enjoyed this take on the events.
