Death Troopers: Star Wars Legends

The chilling tale of the undead in a galaxy far, far away.

„This is the Star Wars of every horror fan’s dreams–gory, funny, and brimming with a blood-spattered cast of swashbucklers and space-zombies.“–Seth Grahame-Smith, author of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

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 part of space, its only hope appears to lie with a Star Destroyer found drifting 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 will do whatever it takes to stay alive. But nothing can prepare them for what lies waiting aboard the Star Destroyer. For the dead are rising: soulless, unstoppable, and unspeakably hungry.

Editorial Reviews

The trouble begins when an Imperial prison ship breaks down. Fortunately, or so it first seems, a Star Destroyer is drifting nearby. Prison ship commanders dispatch a boarding party to the abandoned ship to scavenge for parts; but only half of them return and they have become inflicted with a disease so horrific and infectious that nearly aboard the prison ship die within hours. Even for the half dozen survivors, there is no relief: The dead are reawakened, ravenously hunger and almost unstoppable. Joe Schreiber’s Star Wars tale puts a horrific new slant on zombies. Now in mass market paperback.
