Racoon City, una remota comunidad en las montañas que de repente se ve acosada por una serie de horrendos asesinatos en los bosques que la rodean. Corren extraños rumores que describen los ataques de feroces criaturas, algunas con apariencia humana... , y otras no. Al parecer, las víctimas son devoradas por sus atacantes. En el epicentro de esas muertes se encuentra una siniestra y aislada mansión que pertenece a la misteriosa compañía Umbrella. Durante años, Umbrella ha trabajado en secreto en investigaciones relacionadas con la genética... It would be ridiculous to expect much from a novelization of a video game. A competently-told but pedestrian adventure story is about the most one could hope for. For the most part, The Umbrella Conspiracy does just that. But it's like eating a burger at a McDonald's: uninspiring. It's certainly not worth reviewing, except for one thing which demonstrates how low standards have gotten in publishing these days. "...and faced a much smaller room, as bland and industrial as the first. ... So far, the basement levels had offered nothing more dangerous than a lack of decorum..." Through the novel, the author stresses how luxurious the main mansion is. The basement is, in contrast, extremely plain. But the ignorance betrayed in using the phrase "lack of decorum" to indicate that plainness is rather telling. Decorum has nothing to do with decor (or decoration), as the author seems to believe - and as some editor presumably failed to realize. Well, technically both words share the same Latin root, but the meanings are entirely different: de·co·rum dəˈkôrəm/ noun noun: decorum behavior in keeping with good taste and propriety. "you exhibit remarkable modesty and decorum" synonyms: propriety, seemliness, decency, good taste, correctness; de·cor dāˈkôr/ noun noun: decor; plural noun: decors; noun: décor; plural noun: décors the furnishing and decoration of a room. synonyms: decoration, furnishing, ornamentation; color scheme Definitions from Google Decorum pertains to behavior, specifically human or (at least) sapient behavior - not interior decorating. It just sounds as if it does. But for a supposedly professional writer to include such an error, and for an editor and publishing house to print such an error, is really pitiful. I loved this Survival Horror novel!! The details with the zombies was so descriptive, I could imagine one right in front of me!! I really like the beginning and the middle where they in the beginning the S.T.A.R.S were researching these new mysterious cannibalism deaths in Raccoon City! Also, while they research they find this research lab in a big estate called the Spencer Estate. Where in that lab they are researching on what those cannibals are. So, some of the S.T.A.R.S. group (Jill, Chris, Wesker etc.) have to pack up and be prepared for the most shocking situation they have ever faced. I also really loved the video game franchise and I was so happy to find a novel based on it. I love this book and I can't wait to read "Resident Evil: Caliban Cove" Summary: In this little remote city, Racoon City, there were mysterious deaths happening. Like human bite marks on the victims, The police thought it was Cannibalism, but the S.T.A.R.S soon figure it out when a small group of S.T.A.R.S are sent a abandoned mansion called "Spencer's Estate." Jill, Wesker, Chris, and more are then attcked by zombies called B.O.W.S that also mutate into other monsters. They soon find a small labratory in the estate that are test subjects like dogs and wolves. Chris soon meets this 18 yr old girl named Rebecca. Who is smart when it comes to Medications, poisons, and other medical, hazardous stuff. They all eventually figure out that one of their S.T.A.R.S teammates has betrayed them. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
