Digital Novels?

cover of Level 26 Fans of the TV series CSI may like this. The author Zuiker is the creator of CSI and he has teamed with Swierczynski to create Level 26: Dark Origins [2], a mystery billed as the first ever “digi-novel.” Throughout the story the reader is encouraged to visit the website (www.level26.com [3]) to view professionally done video clips that add to the story. This is a bit like watching a DVD and enjoying the extra features. However, you can certainly enjoy the story by itself. As you might expect from the creator of CSI, the story features a hero, Steve Dark, who tracks the worst serial killers. Reviews compared this novel to those of Thomas Harris and Jeff Lindsay. There is a sequel, Dark Revelations [4], due to arrive soon.
