Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Steve on February 11, 2011

My almost 13-year old son read this in one day, had a nightmare that night, and then insisted that I read it as well. I admit, I was intrigued by the concept and the cover art since it came out. After reading it over the course of about 3 days, I realize the cover art and the concept remain the best......more

I really enjoyed Schreiber's writing. It was concise and clear and very sensory. The story itself was okay, it was a fun read. The characters were enjoyable but not particularly memorable.......more

Goodreads review by Gianfranco on February 14, 2017

A very funny Star Wars tale... with zombies! The appearance of a famous characters duo was a nice add(view spoiler)[ and Chewbecca infection induced nightmares are one of the best parts of the story (hide spoiler)] , but it spoiled the suspence for good because you already know they are going to survive. Not bad at all, and the awes......more

Goodreads review by Tim on June 06, 2017

I should probably start this review by stating that I am not the biggest Star Wars fan. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the movies (well, all save the prequel trilogy, of which I dislike all three) and I’ve played some of the games (Knights of the Old Republic stands as one of my favorite RPGs ever ma......more
