A while back I had reported about something unusual. It was a new Star Wars book that would be coming out this year, and it was going to be a full on Horror novel. Other than the book's title of Deathtroopers, and a picture of its cover (seen above), very little was known about the book? What was the plot? Which characters were involved? None of that was known. Until now.
StarWars.com has finally released a plot synopsis for the book, and the news couldn't possibly be any cooler. The book is going to have zombies in it.
From the first appearance of Darth Vader in the groundbreaking movie Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, Star Wars fans have known what terror feels like -- and they loved it. But never before has Star Wars publishing ventured into the unknown territory of true horror . . . until now.
When the Imperial prison barge Purge breaks down in a distant, uninhabited part of space, its only hope seems to lie with a Star Destroyer found drifting, derelict and seemingly abandoned. But when a boarding party 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 will die. And death is only the beginning.
For 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.
Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy Crap! They're talking about zombies!!! Soulless, unstoppable and hungry dead? That's totally zombies!
This book is about a derelict Star Destroyer filled with undead Imperial soldiers. That's so damn cool! The two greatest things in this world, Star Wars and Zombies, have finally after 30 years been combined. October 13th (the book's release date) can't get here fast enough.
