The fourth book of the Resident Evil series, this book continues the story of Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield after their adventures in Raccoon City. Hiding Sherry Birkin with her aunt, the pair join forces with the survivors of the Caliban Cove mission. The story touches on the developing relationship between Leon and Claire as well as their efforts to fit into the group. Note the word 'touches', the writer instead prefers to focus on the gunfights and zombies which unfortunately leaves the story some what shallow. Acting on information by the mysterious Trent, the team raided an Umbrella facility. Again, there's the villain who is driven mad by setbacks which challenged his delusions of power - an almost standard fixture in any of the Resident Evil story. Leon Kennedy and John Andrews were separated from the rest of the team and was put through a series of combat situations designed to test the bio-weapons of the Umbrella Corporation. The usual gunfights and then the killing of the boss monster after reuniteting with the rest of the group then sums up the story. Like I said, shallow.
