Zombies. Mutant animals. Bioengineered weapons and surgically enhanced monsters. Secret labs and widespread conspiracies. It seemed impossible, but Jill Valentine and her teammates among the S.T.A.R.S. had seen it all firsthand when the Umbrella Corporation turned Raccoon City into a staging ground for the most insidious genetic experiments ever conceived. After all she's been through, Valentine is ready to leave that remote mountain community forever. But Umbrella isn't finished with Raccoon City.

And with William Birkin's mutagenic virus already spreading through the city like wildfire, drastic measures are needed. Under cover of night, mercenary teams have entered the city, along with something else -- Umbrella's failsafe: an evolved version of its Tyrant-class killing machines, a lethal creature code-named Nemesis. Now Nemesis is on the hunt. And Jill Valentine is about to become prey.

Ein kleines Scoutschiff der Föderation rast mit zunehmender Geschwindigkeit durchs All. Nur durch ein gewagtes Manöver gelingt es der Crew der Enterprise NCC 1701 unter dem Kommando von Captain James T. Kirk, die U.S.S. Sphinx zu stoppen, bevor sie explodiert. An Bord erwartet sie eine grausame Entdeckung: Die Bordsysteme wurden sabotiert, die Besatzung getötet. Der Captain des Schiffes soll angeblich mit den Romulanern sympathisiert haben, aber stimmt dies wirklich? Kirk stößt bei seinen Nachforschungen auf mehr und mehr Merkwürdigkeiten, bevor ihm Starfleet den Fall entzieht und einer anderen Gruppe zuweist. Doch die Offiziere der Enterprise sind misstrauisch geworden und stellen eigene Nachforschungen an. Plötzlich kommt ein enger Freund des Captains ums Leben. Mit Der dunkle Plan beginnt ein Vierteiler um die mysteriöse Geheimdienstorganisation Sektion 31, die die Fans von Star Trek in aller Welt bereits in der Serie Star Trek: Deep Space Nine fasziniert hat. Die folgenden Romane werden sich -- wie von diversen Star Trek-Vierteilern bereits bekannt -- durch die Reihen der Next Generation, Deep Space Nine und schließlich Voyager fortsetzen, wobei in jedem Buch eine in sich abgeschlossene Handlung erzählt wird. Die Autorin des ersten Bandes, S.D. Perry, zeigt in ihrem Roman eine (fast) genaue Kenntnis des Star Trek-Universums und verquickt mehrere aus den TV-Serien bekannte Elemente zu einer fesselnden Geschichte, die leider viel zu schnell wieder zu Ende ist. Ihre Charaktere wirken lebendig und machen die Einbettung der Handlung in die dritte Staffel der Originalserie glaubwürdig: Das sind die Helden von der Enterprise, wie wir sie in Erinnerung haben. Informierte Star Trek-Fans werden vielleicht bemerken, dass S.D. Perry die Reihenfolge der Episoden "Das Spinnennetz" und "Der verirrte Planet" durcheinander bringt, aber dieser kleine Fehler ändert nichts am letztendlichen Fazit: Nicht viele Autoren haben in den letzten Jahren eine so gute Qualität abgeliefert und dadurch wird Sektion 31 - Der dunkle Plan zum besten Star Trek-Roman der Classic-Reihe seit Jahren und konsequenterweise auch zum absoluten Lesetipp. --aus Amazon.de

Raccoon City: a remote mountain community suddenly besieged by a rash of grisly murders encroaching upon it from the surrounding forest. Bizarre reports start to spread, describing attacks from vicious creatures, some human... some not. Victims are apparently eaten. At the epicenter of these deaths is a dark, secluded mansion belonging to the mysterious Umbrella Corporation. For years umbrella has labored within the mansion, unwatched, ostensibly conducting benign genetic research. Deployed to investigate the strange goings-on is the Special Tactics and Rescue Squad (S.T.A.R.S.), an unusual paramilitary response unit boasting an eclectic assortment of mission specialists: roguish Chris Redfield, former cat burglar Jill Valentine, dead-eye Barry Burton, and the enigmatic team leader, Albert Wesker. Together with the other S.T.A.R.S. operatives, they have a good reason to believe they're ready for anything. But what unfolds as the S.T.A.R.S. penetrate the mansion's long-locked doors is terror beyond their worst nightmares: creatures that defy the laws of life and death—the result of forbidden experiments gone disastrously wrong. Behind it all is a conspiracy so vast in its scope and so insidious in its agenda that the S.T.A.R.S. will be betrayed from within to ensure that the world never learns Umbrella's secret. And if any survive... they may well come to envy those who did not.

FRESH HELL Despite its vast power, the sinister Umbrella Corporation has begun to lose control of its hidden research facilities. Three labs have already been destroyed by rogue S.T.A.R.S., former members of the paramilitary response unit Umbrella helped create. Beneath the deserts of the American Southwest, one of the Umbrella Corporation's most elaborate facilities is about to go online. Somewhere inside may also be the key to stopping Umbrella once and for all... if Leon Kennedy, Claire Redfield, Rebecca Chambers, and their friends can get past a strike team of corrupt S.T.A.R.S., and survive the genetically engineered horrors awaiting them.
