Resident Evil: Caliban Cove is a video game based novelization for Resident Evil by S.D. Perry. The story is not considered canon within the franchise.

Storyline

In the aftermath of their ordeal through the Umbrella Corporation's genetic research facility, the surviving members of the S.T.A.R.S. (Special Tactics and Rescue Squad) attempt to warn the world about the conspiracy to create terrifying biological weapons. But the conspiracy is far from dead, as the S.T.A.R.S. learn when they are declared outlaws by the very people who trained them. Forced to go underground, the S.T.A.R.S. resolve to battle the conspiracy on their own, determined to seek out and stop Umbrella's experiments wherever they may be.

Combat, medic, and biochemist Rebecca Chambers, the sole survivor of Bravo Team, joins a new S.T.A.R.S. strike force when rumor comes of another Umbrella experiment: hidden beneath the rocky cliffs of Caliban Cove, Maine, someone is building an army of the undead. Within a sinister lighthouse, through a complex maze of sea caves, inside the shell of a sunken shipwreck, the S.T.A.R.S. must battle more unspeakable horrors and stop a madman from unleashing the biohazard upon the world.

Summary

The novel takes place in August of 1998, its focus is Rebecca Chambers. After a call from Barry about the Umbrella investigation, she heads to his house where she meets David Trapp, strategist and captain of the STARS Exeter branch.

David informs Rebecca that another incident has occurred at another Umbrella facility, in Caliban Cove, Maine. Just when Chris and Jill come in, David continues his briefing, which includes a list of people involved in or with the Caliban Cove facility. One of the names Rebecca knows as Nicholas Griffith, a former biochemist that had disappeared after being fired from a university.

An attack by Umbrella forces, being led by S.T.A.R.S. members, on Barry's house takes place. Rebecca takes one out, some others are suspected to be dead(Perry never confirms this in the novel). The team takes refuge in Brad "Chickenheart" Vicker's home. After a little talk, Rebecca and David set out and leave on a plane for Exeter.

At Caliban Cove: Dr. Griffith stands atop a lighthouse, musing on his latest and greatest accomplishment: a virus that robs a human of their ability to think, they become servents to whom ever orders them. Griffith has already used his new virus on three other scientists at the Cove facility, and none of them can make any decisions outside of what Griffith tells them. Griffith muses that once he gives his "gift" to the wind, everyone will be free.

At Exeter, the ome of S.T.A.R.S. forensics officer Karen Driver, David briefs his own team; comprised of himself, Rebecca, Steve Lopez, John Andrews, and the aforementioned Karen. They set out, collect the equipment they need, and begin the Caliban Cove mission, with absolutly no S.T.A.R.S. back up.
