Not bad
The original stories in this series to me are always more interesting because in the ones based on the games, you know exactly whats going to happen next, whereas in the originals you can take a pretty good guess, your not actually sure.
My main critism of this book is, however, when you think of Resident evil, the next thing you think of is zombies. In this book, there are none.
The zombies replacement are a few creatures that Perry has created and the hunters. The first one is a pterodactyl like bird, then comes the scorpians (which feature in RE:0) and then some goat-snake type thing. Perry seems to like dinosaurs as the main monster is a T-rex/tyrant type thing.
The good-guy characters that Perry created in Caliban Cove are beleivable and fit in well with the other characters such as leon and claire. Perry's bad guys, Griffin in Caliban Cove and Reston in this one, are not all that great though. They seemed typical cliche types, power hungry, insane etc and that was the main bad thing about the book.
Overall I think this book deserves 4 stars because it was enjoyable (although far too short).

Pretty damn good
I must admit to being a giant fan of the Resident Evil series and was delighted with S.D. Perry's first three books. The fourth is no exception, with a gripping, action paction packed plotline. Sure, the formula is wearing a little thin, but why change it if it wasn't broken! The 'Planet' is a fascinating creation and introduces a load of cool new umbrella monstrosities for the team to battle. My only gripe is that the end...is a little disappointing and short lived - if anything, the book needed to be a few chapters longer. Still, for fans of the series, this is an excellent progression which I really enjoyed and heartily recommend to anyone. I just hope that S.D.Perry is planning to write some more in the series - how about a novelisation of the forthcoming Resident Evil 3 or a completely new story of the team's strike on the Umbrella Headquarters. I await them with baited breath...

This book is brilliant! Buy it while you can
This book is purely addictive, it contains a lot of action and plot which gets you very intrigued. The more interesting part is the part which John and Leon are in when they're in the test zones and when they all have to fight the fossil. Personally, i think it's brilliant and hope that S.D. Perry will write the story of Resident Evil 3.
