Death Troopers: Star Wars Legends

Death Troopers

De: Joe Schreiber

Narrado por: Sean Kenin

The chilling tale of the undead in a galaxy far, far away.

“This is the Star Wars of every horror fan’s dreams—gory, funny, and brimming with a blood-spattered cast of swashbucklers and space-zombies.”—Seth Grahame-Smith, author of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

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 part of space, its only hope appears to lie with a Star Destroyer found drifting and seemingly abandoned. But when a boarding party from the Purge 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 die in ways too hideous to imagine.

And death is only the beginning.

The Purge’s half-dozen survivors will do whatever it takes to stay alive. But nothing can prepare them for what lies waiting aboard the Star Destroyer. For the dead are rising: soulless, unstoppable, and unspeakably hungry.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Brilliant . . . This book combines two of my favorite things on earth: the Star Wars universe and the undead.”—Tommy Wirkola, director of Dead Snow

Death Awesome!

This audio book was great. It was my first from Audible and I had heard a lot of reviews and I must say it did not disappoint. I had some freaky moments where I even got scared. Enjoy!!!

Genuinely terrifying, and also a real tear jerker.

The infamous zombie craze of the late 2000's and early 2010s has a reputation for producing oversaturated and cliche media. However, death troopers is a major exception and an absolute masterpiece. The narrative is riveting and the characters, including even the minor ones are amazingly well written and I became very attached to them. there are some very emotional and powerful scenes contributing to some really well-done character development. some of these scenes were so beautiful that they actually brought a tear to my eye. as for the horror, it transcends zombie fiction. instead of being the slogfest of shock and gore that much zombie horror is known for, death troopers is, instead, a slow build up of dread and riviting suspense that accumulates as the book goes on before erupting into an explosion of nightmares like a volcano of spine-chilling horror. a fair warning however. one thing i should mention is that this book is NOT your average kid-friendly star wars book, it is a HORROR NOVEL. It does not hold back AT ALL, there are extremely violent and disturbing rebirth-of-darth-vader-level scenes of gore, dismemberment, mutilation, and cannibalism that are made all the more terrifying when coupled with Death Trooper's expert build up of atmospheric tension. it is NOT for the faint of heart. that being said, this is truly an amazing work of literature and a MUST-READ not only for Star wars fans, but also for horror fans in general, as well as anyone who wants to hear a well-done story with well-written characters.

Sartoris is the best character in my humble opinion.

FREEBIRD FOR LIFE

an excellent horror/sci-fi piece of GENIUS...ill be recommending this to EVERYONE-definitely a nod to Star Wars/monster fans..

Extremely scary and fun!

A fun new type of SW book that takes a different path from the normal Star Wars stories. Very entertaining and frightful! I wanted to listen to it again but chose not to, because I already know what happens. Please write more of this type of Star Wars horror novel!

5 Star Baby

Fantastic listen from all angles. Just kept me gripped from start to finish!! Scary !! Exciting

A MUST READ!

Exciting and most of all this book is so much FUN to listen too. The characters are interesting and you really care about what happens to them. It doesn't feel like your typical zombie story and the author did a good job of making the zombies and the "outbreak" more interesting. This feels like it would occur in star wars. BUY IT!

Fabulous and gripping novel

So creepy and so good I couldn't stop listening!!!!! I finished it in two days

incredibly terrifying story and amazing performanc

incredibly terrifying story and amazing performance. death troopers is an incredible book made all the better by the vocal performance and background sound effects definitely recommend to those with a strong stomach and star wars fans

I wish I could give more stars

I’ve never listened to an audio book on this app before but I wasn’t disappointed. The soundtrack, voice acting, background audio, and sound effects created an amazing picture in my head. I was never left wondering what was happening in the book and I’m going to listen to it again.

zombies and star wars. what did u expect

I got lost with the names every then a there, as in who was who but thats just me. beside 2 character who I think we all know, the pacing was good, didn't expect the character who survived and wasn't surprised for the ones that did. the sound coming from the background went well with everything going on. had me on my toes to figure out how it ended and what lead to it.
