Star Wars: Death Troopers ~ Paperback ~ Joe Schreiber

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. Review “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 "..Horror writer Schreiber (Chase the Dead) combines his knowledge of psychological and visceral terror with his love for Star Wars® to create the first horror novel set in George Lucas's classic film and storytelling universe. This gory tale of survival against unspeakable odds should appeal to a multitude of fans, though it is not for the squeamish." Library Journal
