Re-read? I'm 50/50. It's very short and somewhat entertaining so I'll probably read again at some point.
Recommend to: People who want a completely inconsequential Star Wars book that doesn't require knowledge even of the movies. You might like it if you enjoy zombies.
This one mainly got a shrug out of me. In spite of the story being very average and at times absurd, I still found myself looking forward to coming back to it. So, I guess I thought it was alright. It's a very poor represent ...more

A really quick read, this book was fun from start to finish. Sure, if you take a couple of characters out of this and don't use a few key terms this wouldn't even be a Star Wars book, but its nice to see something different injected into the EU.

I was expecting not too much since I had read Red Harvest before this. I did enjoy it a lot more than I expected too. It probably deserves a 4 star but I'm just not huge on the entire zombie genre. If you read this book expecting Jedi's you will be disappointed but luckily some awesome smugglers show up.

Let me start by saying that the less you know about this book going into it, the better. It's difficult to do this what with the cover art and title, but I think if you don't know what this book is about, you will enjoy the book more. I enjoyed the book despite already knowing the premise (I mean, I did give it 4 out of 5 stars), but I would like to have been surprised when certain events started unfolding. Not to say that there weren't any surprises.

This ended up being really entertaining. I'm sure many Star Wars EU fans didn't like this book at all, There aren't any space battles, no "Big Bad" no fight, and barely any mention of normal Star Wars arcs and history. Oh sure Han Solo and Chewie are randomly inserted into the action and that is kinda lame and eyerolly, but I didn't even care. I had SUCH a good time while reading this book! It was sufficiently creepy and action filled and the pace moved along at a nice clip.

I liked the premise of putting Zombies and Star Wars together, but I never felt close to the characters that Schreiber introduced to the Star Wars universe and felt that their background stories could have been better fleshed out. The surprise appearance of Han Solo and Chewbacca was welcome, but they rarely got any real limelight and mainly played the role of minor characters. Some of the action scenes were particulary gory, and the horror fan in me loved it, but the very linear storyline was p

I won a copy of this book from the blog Fiction State of Mind.
I'm a huge Star Wars fan, and zombies are cool too, so I was expecting to love this book. I kinda did. I'm glad it didn't star the main cast of the movies, though I was pleasantly surprised by Han and Chewie's appearance.
Death Troopers was a lot gorier than I've come to expect from Star Wars novels, but it's fitting, being a zombie horror novel and all.
The book is quite a quick read and easy to get into. I really enjoyed it! ...more

This book is violent, gory, and frightening. I enjoyed it a lot. It would easily earn a five or four star rating... if it weren't for the author making the dumb decision to include star wars characters that we all know and love. Come on! If there is a character from a movie that takes place years in the future, we know the entire cast won't die! Overall an enjoyable read for anyone who is sick of the normal level of Star Wars violence.

A pretty good mashup of Horror/Zombie with Star Wars. Well written and pretty gross. I was surprised by who showed up!
