Meet the Author


Keith R.A. DeCandido was born and raised in New York City to a family of librarians. He has written over two dozen novels, as well as short stories, nonfiction, eBooks, and comic books, most of them in various media universes, among them Star Trek, World of Warcraft, Starcraft, Marvel Comics, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Serenity, Resident Evil, Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda, Farscape, Xena, and Doctor Who. His original novel Dragon Precinct was published in 2004, and he's also edited several anthologies, among them the award-nominated Imaginings and two Star Trek anthologies. Keith is also a musician, having played percussion for the bands the Don't Quit Your Day Job Players, the Boogie Knights, and the Randy Bandits, as well as several solo acts. In what he laughingly calls his spare time, Keith follows the New York Yankees and practices kenshikai karate. He still lives in New York City with his girlfriend and two insane cats.

    more from this reviewer

    If you love the movies - You'll love these more.

    I've read all three of the book series and I'm inexorably enamored by the movies. The books offer more background information and more depth that will increase both your reading and movie watching experience! After you read this novel, don't forget to download Apocalypse and Extinction. They just keep getting better!

    I liked it.

    Some people said it was not a good book, I beg to differ. I can't keep track of the books I have read let alone zombie books. I have always liked Keith R. A. DeCandido's books at least the ones that are based on my fave tv shows and movies. And thats just it they are BASED on them not the show or movie exactly. What fun would it be to read a book and then watch the movie and have them be the same word for word scene for scene? It would suck. And lets not forget these book are how the wonderful people who take the time to write them so we the people who either don't have the time or the imagination to write a good story let alone a great book are not bored and have something to do besides sit around and pick our collective noses. I for one thank these people. And as for this book? It was great.

    Sub-par

    If you are looking for a book that will do a good job painting images of characters, surroundinds, etc...this book is not for you. This book is an insanely easy read that is comparable to early teen books (although the excessive amount of foul language make it inappropriate for younger readers). If you are a huge Resident Evil fan then just be aware this book does not do the overall storyline justice. It almost seems as though the author threw the book together in a week and didnt even attempt to make it intellectually stimulating at all. I am highly disappointed.
