WHAT WOULD YOU DO? HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO? WHAT WOULD YOU BECOME?

THIS ISN’T JUST A GAME ANYMORE

Welcome to Banoi, a tropical island where you can leave the stresses of the world behind . . . Exploding onto the scene with the most successful video game trailer of all time, Dead Island is set to become one of the biggest game releases of 2011. The official announcement trailer has already gained over 5.2 million hits on YouTube and 6.2 million Twitter mentions in just 4 months, and has won a flurry of awards, including the ‘Gold Lion in Film and Film Craft’ category at this year’s Festival de Cannes.

Dead Island is the official novelisation of the game, written by British Fantasy Award winning author, Mark Morris. Due for simultaneous release with the video game, Dead Island offers a terrifying glimpse into the horrors thrust upon the four individuals who have unwittingly embarked upon the ultimate holiday from Hell.

For guests of the five star Royal Palms resort it was supposed to be a once in a lifetime dream holiday; an escape to the stunning beaches of a tropical paradise unlike any other. But a mysterious epidemic suddenly – and without warning – breaks out on the pacific paradise of Banoi, and four individuals with distinctive backgrounds and abilities seem to be unaffected by the zombie outbreak.

As the epidemic takes hold, will they be strong enough to stand against the endless zombie hordes, protect the remaining surviors from a horrible fate and to flee the island? In the face of an unprecedented zombie apocalypse, they only have one thing left to do: survive. Welcome to the holiday paradise where your dreams should come true . . . but where a nightmare is about to begin. . .
