everyone should buy this book it is awesome
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 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 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 onboard the Star Destroyer amid its vast creaking emptiness that isn't really empty at all. The dead are rising, soulless, unstoppable, and unspeakably hungry.

it is a star wars horror novel and it is brutal and awesome and jesus who said it was okay for this guy to put so much gore in a star wars book; does george lucas know about this

    Which is dumb because they conceivably have the technology to not bother with that, because it would be unsafe. And it would mean less storm troopers.

    I can't help but like the idea of Star Wars horror, but if that quote is any indication of what the writing is like, I'm going to pass.

    You know what I hate about amazon wishlists? Google indexes them now, so if a potential employer googles your name, you better make sure your wishlist doesn't have Deathtroopers on there.

    Otherwise, this would've totally been added.

    Oh God yes, I read one called Skavenslayer, it was the cheesiest.

    Although it nailed the cowardly hilarity of the Skaven though.
