Dark Origins

From the creator of CSI.

Level 26: Dark Origins takes the best features of books, film, and interactive digital technologies and rolls them all into a unique storytelling experience that's being called the world's first "digi-novel".

The story features Steve Dark, the ultimate crime scene tactician on the tail of a killer so brutal, a new classification of evil has been created to account for him. Dark Origins can be read on the beach or on a plane without digital access but where the traditional story ends, a deeper level of immersion is available at www.level26.com. About every twenty pages you will have the option of logging in to experience a three-minute motion picture scene with A-list actors. Before your eyes, the characters will spring to life, crime scene details will explode off the screen, and the Website might even ask for a phone number, where the killer can reach you directly. You might call it CSI with an edge.

Anthony E Zuiker

Watch the trailer now but be warned, Level 26: Dark Origins is not for the faint-hearted!
