Ilustration As 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.

Discuss Of Books Death Troopers (Star Wars Legends)

Star Wars meets zombies. Rather more gory and a bit scarier than i was anticipating for a Star Wars novel. The cover itself is comprised of a bloody Stormtrooper head hanging from a chain with a hook jammed through its eye giving the book more of a horror aspect. The basic plot of Death Troopers is fairly straightforward. The Imperial prison barge Purge is packed with 500 prisoners being transported to an isolated penal colony. In the first stages of the book we have the normal kind of prison

This 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 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 kind

Star Wars: Death Troopers, by Joe SchreiberI believe I saw "Death Troopers" advertised as the first Star Wars horror novel. Although I am not a horror fan, I am an avid Star Wars fan so I had to read it. My first impression came about 100 pages into the novel: it's just a horror story with some Star Wars dressing. That aside, it's an okay horror story, but it seems very typical. Abandoned ship, check. Mysterious virus, check. Zombies, check. Add some Star Wars elements, check. I really only kept

While being a fun twist to the Star Wars Universe (A sci-horror) it lacked the sticking power that the other novels have. The characters were all pre-molded and while i could put that aside, Schreiber decided to use two of the most iconic characters from all of Star Wars. Chewbacca and Han Solo were both in this book. It might seem like a big spoiler... but there really is no back story to it other than "they caught us and here we are". The book takes place before New Hope... and so there isn't

this marks my second (and possibly last) foray into the surprisingly expansive world of Star Wars tie-in novels. my first was Han Solo's Revenge back when I was 10 or so.the plot involves the Empire prison ship Purge and its ill-fated encounter with a not-quite abandoned Empire Destroyer. things are lurking aboard this gigantic ship, both viral and on two legs. I had a good deal of fun racing around this immense zombie labyrinth with the suddenly very small cast of characters. Death Troopers
