Endorenna Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Eh...I might read it...eventually...if I can get a used copy...
Tobias Reiper Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 I picked up the book while I was at the book store yesterday, as well as The Rise and Fall of Darth Vader, which I chose to read first. Anyone else think it's somewhat odd that the helmet is so bloody in the picture? Blood never has been a staple of Star Wars...
CommanderQ Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Heheh, I'm definately gonna read it...zombies and star wars are two things I rather like Horror has never been a genre that SW has explored, maybe that'll change with this one, who knows, but it'll be worth a read
stingerhs Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 nice. the question is: does it take place in a crowded mall (preferably with convenient shop that specializes in vibroblades)??

What I find more odd is that their helmets are broken in such a way that they can bite people and show off the Empire's bad dental care, all at once! Very convenient.
Taak Farst Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 wow looks very interestin. might pick it up
Prime Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 SW is awesome. Zombies are awesome. You do that math.
Alkonium Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 I'll definitely read it, if I find the time. Also, it look's like there's still a head in that helmet. And it didn't come off all that cleanly either.
JediAthos Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 eh...I'm not suree about horror and star wars together...I'm not a huge fan of the horror genre to start with so I probably will not be picking this one up.
SkywalkerRules Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Woah... Star Wars and Zombies? Oh yeah... That's looks scary and awesome too. If I get it and read it, I'll comment on it.
Tobias Reiper Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Finished reading it today, and MAN, Joe Schreiber certainly did it right, give it a read. I don't want to spoil it, so no details, but pick it up, it's well worth the $24.00 I spent for it.
igyman Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 I'm gonna take a wild guess and say... Rakghouls? Let's face it, zombies and Star Wars don't mix, so Rakghouls are the only thing that comes to mind for this kind of a plot and I also predict a possible connection to Dark Horse's "Vector" series. Sooooo... how close was I?

Ctrl Alt Del Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 Didn't have enough "Zahn's" on the author's name to pike my interest.
TriggerGod Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 I'm gonna take a wild guess and say... Rakghouls? Let's face it, zombies and Star Wars don't mix, so Rakghouls are the only thing that comes to mind for this kind of a plot and I also predict a possible connection to Dark Horse's "Vector" series. Sooooo... how close was I? After reading the interesting Twitter 'tie-in' to this book, (from the perspective of one of the stormtroopers that was affected) I found that it isn't the Rakghoul plague. After skimming through the wookiepedia article, all I found pertaining to the disease was the word "Blackwing", which AFAIK, has absolutely nothing to do with Rakghouls, for they are neither black or have wings. Or have black wings. Now, this looks like a good book. Since I didn't really read the article (only really looking for info on the disease), I'll be sure to pick up the book, and not have it be ruined.
Demongo Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 Hmm sounds interesting but I can't really imagine a story for it:raise: Guess I will have to read it:p
El Sitherino Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Man, this gives me inspiration to write my novel about a serial killer based in the Star Wars universe. So many possibilities.
Canderis Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 I picked this up on sunday. Finished it last night. I couldn't put it down. Wow. That is all that describes the book.
Prime Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Man, this gives me inspiration to write my novel about a serial killer based in the Star Wars universe. So many possibilities. Sounds like Vader.
Endorenna Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Well, since I've heard almost nothing but good about it so far, I may just pick it up next time I'm at Books a Million...or just get it for Christmas.
LordOfTheFish Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Christmas is not a time for "books," tis a time to be jolly while enjoying expensive electronic things you can't afford any other time of the year.
Endorenna Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Christmas is not a time for "books," tis a time to be jolly while enjoying expensive electronic things you can't afford any other time of the year. Pshh! Darth Bane and Deathtroopers will reside under my Christmas tree in a couple months!
HdVaderII Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Christmas is not a time for "books," tis a time to be jolly while enjoying expensive electronic things you can't afford any other time of the year. Well I shall be enjoying my new shiny Star Wars books when they appear magically next to my menorah!
