Ilustration To Books Death Troopers (Star Wars Legends)
When the Imperial prison barge Purge–temporary home to five hundred of the galaxy’s most ruthless killers, rebels, scoundrels, and thieves–breaks down in a distant, uninhabited part of space, its only hope appears to lie with a Star Destroyer found drifting, derelict, and seemingly abandoned. But when a boarding party from the Purge is sent to scavenge for parts, only half of them come back–bringing with them a horrific disease so lethal that within hours nearly all aboard the Purge die in ways too hideous to imagine.And death is only the beginning.
The Purge’s half-dozen survivors–two teenage brothers, a sadistic captain of the guards, a couple of rogue smugglers, and the chief medical officer, the lone woman on board–will do whatever it takes to stay alive. But nothing can prepare them for what lies waiting aboard the Star Destroyer amid its vast creaking emptiness that isn’t really empty at all. For the dead are rising: soulless, unstoppable, and unspeakably hungry.

The thing this book most reminded me of was Snakes on a Plane. When I first heard about both SoaP and Death Troopers, my first reaction was "That's an amazing idea and should be tons of fun! Why did no one think of this sooner?" Both situations ended up being similarly disappointing, though, although of the two Death Troopers was an order of magnitude more disappointing.DT was disappointing because the only time it felt like a Star Wars novel was when Han Solo showed up, and even that felt kindThis was like the movie "I Am Legend" if it were in space. The only thing I didnt like about this book was that it seemed like this book wasn't originally written as a star wars novel but then later various references and characters were added in so that it could be labeled as a Star Wars novel. The plot was lacking in detaials- especially character development and information on why the situation on the star destroyer occurred. a back story or two would have been nice. i was tempted to give
The zombie force is strong in this one! ZOMBIES LONG TIME AGO, FAR FAR AWAY Maybe some hardcore fans of Star Wars can feel uncertain to try this book since its basic premise involves zombies... yes, you read right... ZOMBIES. (Without thinking that nowadays isn't canonical anymore)However, before you decide to go away from the book, I can let you know that this particular book is in the toplists of several Star Wars reviewers around the internet.So......something good must have! Moreover,
I am probably being too generous with the 5 stars, but I really enjoyed it. I got this as an audio book, and it had sound effects, music and really creepy noises for the "zombies", which is actually what made it so enjoyable to me and why I rated it 5 stars rather than 4; it was like listening to a horror movie. I think it would be a good read, but I definitely recommend getting the audio version of it and I normally prefer reading to audio books.
I had put off reading this book for a long time because I did not want to be disappointed. When I first heard about Death Troopers, I was a bit excited. The concept seemed to be pretty exciting: horror set in the Star Wars Universe. As much as I wanted to rush out and buy this book to read, I waited. My fear was that the book would fall far short of my expectations of the initial concept and leaving me feeling annoyed. I finally gave in and picked up this book from the local library. After
This book takes a fun concept---zombies + Star Wars---and fails to deliver on its promise. The plot itself is a fairly standard horror/zombie story that could have taken place anywhere, and the Star Wars details are simply layered over the top. The structure of the plot is well done, but there are some serious problems with the book as a whole.The inclusion of two characters famous from the movies [I won't mention their names, as to not spoil it:] was rather pointless, especially since Death
