Resident Evil: Caliban Cove (Book 2) / 9781781161869I was a big fan of S.D. Perry's first book in this series (The Umbrella Conspiracy), and Caliban Cove continues to deliver the same level of enjoyment and superb writing. I'll note upfront that I haven't played the video games, so I don't know how well these books match the game-canon, but in terms of zombie novels set in the Umbrella mythos, this series delivers great action, wonderful characterization, and a lot of suspenseful thrills.Caliban Cove picks up after the end of Umbrella Conspiracy: the STARS team members who came back alive from the mansion are on the losing end of a conspiracy theory to cover up the virus spill, and one of the few allies they have decides to launch a raid on another Umbrella facility in order to get the evidence they need to clear their good name. For the raid, he needs the help of Rebecca Chambers, along with a group of genuinely well-characterized folks whose survival is NOT assured since (as far as I know) none of them ever show up in the video games. So the tension is ratcheted up immensely when Anyone Can Die.In terms of the good stuff: S.D. Perry is obviously a very skilled writer. Some franchise novelizations are very poorly written and/or poorly plotted (which, as a dedicated Aliens fan, I know all too well!), but Perry's novels are in my opinion just as good as anything else available at your local bookstore and aren't trying to coast crappy writing on the strength of the franchise label. So even if you're not a hardcore fan of the Resident Evil series, these books are genuinely good zombie/monster novels with a lot of isolation and suspense and creepy thrills to make the books genuinely engaging. The characters do occasionally engage in foolish behavior in order to facilitate the plot, but it's obvious that Perry does her best to handwave these events so that they're not *too* jarring.As far as the bad goes: My biggest disappointment with this series is its total embrace of the idea that evil people are mentally ill and that mental illness equals a dangerous menace to society. I realize that the people in charge of this franchise probably think someone would have to be "crazy" to want to zombify the world, but (a) the movies have thoroughly demonstrated other just as plausible reasons (greed, cruelty, elitism, stupidity, malice, a desire to lord over the ashes of society, etc.) and (b) blaming all this on one "mad scientist" completely obscures the many just-as-dangerous "sane" people who gave him a laboratory and zero oversight in the first place. The book even opens with a quote about how evil really needs mental illness in order to properly thrive ("Through avarice, evil smiles; through insanity, it sings.") and it comes off as unnecessary and jarring. Whether you can swim through this to get at an otherwise good story will vary by reader, I think.If you won't be bothered by the repeated hammering on mentally ill people (most of whom are far more likely to be hurt by non-mentally ill people than they are to harm anyone themselves), then there's a good zombie story in here. Note that these zombies aren't quite your "typical" zombies, as the ones in this book are able to carry and use guns and otherwise respond to stimuli (which I enjoyed for variety's sake but some purists may not).~ Ana Mardoll
The Spencer Estate lies in ruins. The surviving members of Racoon City S.T.A.R.S. department have been disbanded and driven underground. With the aid of like-minded S.T.A.R.S. members from the Exeter branch, Rebecca Chambers must travel to Caliban Cove, Maine to investigate an Umbrella base there and find the evidence needed to reveal the company's secrets and clear her and her friends' names.To begin with, some background on the novel. S. D. Perry's novels are their own universe. The novelizations of the games, while following the story set forth in them, does add, subtract, and change things within. For example, as you might had gleaned from my synopsis, S.T.A.R.S in Perry's verse isn't Racoon City's version of S.W.A.T., but are instead a national task-force that work with their branch's local police department. It should also be noted that Perry was writing these novels while the early games were being made and released. So do keep all that in mind.Following that, let's talk about the characters. As noted, the story follows Rebecca, the only surviving Bravo. The surviving Alphas (except for Brad, who had skipped town) do make appearances in the beginning of the story. However, after the attack on Barry's home, they no longer play a part in the story. Instead they are replaced by Exeter S.T.A.R.S. members.Captain of the Exeter branch, David Trapp is a friend of Barry's from training. Having been tipped off about the situation at Caliban Cove by the mysterious Trent, David leads the operation, angered by Umbrella's bribing of S.T.A.R.S. He's the Chris of the new characters.Karen Driver is the Jill of the team. Intelligent (though one of her actions mid-way through the operation does call this into question) and calm, she's not much of a believer in superstitions. However, Karen does carry an old World War II-era hand grenade with her for luck, a heirloom from her father. And yes, the grenade is a Chekhov's Gun.Having served with S.T.A.R.S. for just a little over a year, Steve Lopez doesn't just fill the Rebecca role of the group (in the experience department, not the medic role), he also serves as a tiny love-interest for her.Out of all the new characters introduced, I have to say, I found John Andrews to be my favorite. David and John are the most developed of the four, Steve and Karen only being there to fill their roles in the story. A big, muscular man who looks after his teammates, John is the Barry of the group.The final character introduced is Nicolas Griffith, the villain of the story. He is your standard mad scientist, wanting to release his strain of the t-virus to, in his own words, "bring peace to the world." In a way, one can say he is Wesker before Wesker (remember, this was released years before Resident Evil 5 was even a thought at Capcom). However, he doesn't have the same personality that Wesker brings, making him little more than, as stated earlier, a standard mad scientist.Being a Resident Evil novel, it of course brings in t-based B.O.W.s. However, there is only one proper t-zombie. Instead, the main threat are a new form of t-zombies: the tri-squads. Tri-squads are a form of more intelligent zombies, though not by much. Working in teams of three, they are able to use guns and follow commands. However, they need explicit orders from a higher intelligence to work to their fullest. Once they finish their orders, they just stand about like a standard zombie.Caliban Cove also introduced a new type of Hunter: the Ma7s. They really don't have much of an impact on the story, being released near the climax and quickly being killed. There is also the Leviathans, a water-based B.O.W. They really don't have much of an impact on the story. One shows up at the start of the operation, destroying the raft used by the team and almost eating John. The last mention of them is at the end of the story, being disposed of by the S.T.A.R.S. reinforcements.Overall, I like the fact the novel follows Rebecca. Considering the fact she has only played a role in two of the games and hasn't shown up following the Mansion Incident, it's nice to see an original story following her past her last appearance, even if it is non-canon to the games. However, the story is just average. There is nothing to set the novel apart from others in the genre. Most of the characters are two-dimensional and the story is nothing to write home about. Really, the only selling point is the fact it is an original piece of fiction following Rebecca.
