What will you do? How far will you go? What will you become?
Welcome to Banoi, a tropical island where you can leave the stresses of the world behind...
Welcome to the Royal Palms Resort - which offers its guests from around the world the ultimate in luxury and relaxation...
Welcome to the holiday paradise where your dreams should come true...but where a nightmare is about to begin....
Because a mysterious epidemic has suddenly, and without warning, broken out across the island. The local islanders, hotel guests and workers alike are struck down - only to rise again, craving the flesh and the blood of the still living. For four of the holidaymakers and a handful of others scattered around Banoi who are seemingly unaffected by the plague, they must face the awful, terrifying reality of a zombie apocalypse. Now there is only one thing left to do: survive.

The beginning has my attention and the characterization of most character I feel match the games. Although a couple of them were a bit spotty for me. Story itself tells the game at a faster pace. Something I don't necessarily enjoy. Even taking liberties off of some of them and by the end it's pretty an ending I'm starting to become familiar with. If it were up to me, I'd like to take what happened in the games and try to accurately detail what happened, especially the number of infected types. But for casual zombie readers it's okay if you don't know about Dead Island like most players. Take it as you will.

This seems a very detailed book that gives more back story and storyline to the original version of the game. I haven't bought it yet, but believe you me, I'm going to.
