Turns Out There's Something Darker Than The Dark Side
Having a zombie overload?
You still might want to save some room for the "zombies in the Star Wars universe" book, Death Troopers,
which came out (sometime in Mid-October). It turns out stormtroopers and zombies do mix. Spoilers below.
The storyline for Death Troopers is pretty simple, really — an Imperial prison barge, during the years right before the original Star Wars movie, runs into some engine trouble. Good thing they find a Star Destroyer in the middle of nowhere, which they can cannibalize for parts. Unfortunately, the Star Destroyer has some kind of weird virus on board, which kills everyone it comes into contact with... and the people who die don't stay dead. And that's about it. The survivors from the prison barge have to run a gauntlet of Imperial zombies and try to escape in one piece, while facing their own personal traumas and uncovering a sinister biological weapons program that comes straight from Lord Vader himself.
