I skipped Red Harvest because I hate hate hate the idea of zombies in Star Wars. But I've heard if you like that stuff, it's a great read.

I just got to where the zombies actually start to appear. I didn't care for it in Death Troopers in retrospect because I found the explanation for them being there lacking. But I'm a completist/I was hoping the origin story for them here would make up for that.

 

And I do like zombies, so there's that. It's also presented other cool Force concepts about plants I've very much liked.

Yeah, I still need to order the last four books in Fate of the Jedi online. All my local Barnes and Noble has is a single copy of Allies and Apocalypse. I mean, come on.

 

Anyway, Death Troopers wasn't very impressive in my opinion. It was just sort of a highly contrived book with little merit, only some guys going "Hey guys lets throw zombies and Star Wars together what can possibly go wrong?" The preview of Red Harvest afterward was equally lame, made worse by the fact that a single zombie basically effortlessly kills a supposedly trained Sith.

 

~B~

I still need the last three to be released in paper back.

 

That is pretty sad about the Barnes and Noble. :/ I managed to find a good one in State College, but now that I'm home for the summer have no idea where to go. Really miss Borders. The one here always had plenty of the older books, too, which are my real interest right now.
