Level 26 is a digital novel series and social show written by the Emmy-winning CSI franchise creator Anthony Zuiker. EQAL has been hired to develop "a rich social network, blog and destination web site for the series." The website launched in July, and the first novel, Dark Origins, is set to be released on September 8, 2009.

The official premise for Dark Origins is as follows: It is well known among law enforcement personnel that murderers can be categorized on a scale of twenty-five levels of evil, from the naive opportunists starting out at Level 1 to the organized, premeditated torture-murderers who inhabit Level 25.

What almost no one knows—except for the elite unnamed investigations group assigned to hunt down the world’s most dangerous killers, a group of men and women accounted for in no official ledger, headed by the brilliant but reluctant operative Steve Dark—is that a new category of killer is in the process of being defined.

Only one man belongs to this group. His targets: Anyone. His methods: Unlimited. His alias: Sqweegel. His classification: Level 26.

As readers read the Level 26 books, they will see codes in the book to unlock what Zuiker is calling "Cyberbridges." Cyberbridges, when unlocked, give the reader an ultimate experience to that part of the novel, giving them two-minute movie episodes with Hollywood actors, audio files, pictures, and more interactive content.
