As they drift through empty space, they come across a derelict Star Destroyer from which they hope to salvage enough parts to repair the barge. The story is set just prior to the events from "A New Hope" and follows the crew of an Imperial prison barge who become stranded when the barge breaks down on route to a prison colony. Putting the fanboy bias aside, this is a well thought out story that does a good job of bringing the undead into the Star Wars universe without coming off as cheesy or contrived. ![]() While the idea of horror based Star Wars may not appeal to everyone, the thought of zombie storm troopers hunting down Rebel scum just seems to resonate with my inner geek. Death Troopers is a horror based Star Wars novel written by Joe Schreiber and published Del Rey. ![]()
