Publisher's Summary

When the Imperial prison barge Purge - temporary home to 500 of the galaxy’s most ruthless killers, rebels, scoundrels, and thieves - breaks down in a distant, uninhabited part of space, its only hope appears to lie with a Star Destroyer found drifting, derelict, 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 - two teenage brothers, a sadistic captain of the guards, a couple of rogue smugglers, and the chief medical officer, the lone woman on board - will do whatever it takes to stay alive. But nothing can prepare them for what lies waiting aboard the Star Destroyer amid its vast creaking emptiness that isn’t really empty at all. For the dead are rising: Soulless, unstoppable, and unspeakably hungry.

    Might be for you, just not for me

    Let me start off by saying that the performance was good, the voice acting was good and the reading was easy to listen to.

    However, my issues start with the sound effects of the quote-unquote “zombies”. No zombie has ever made a high-pitch squeal sound; it just took me completely out of the immersion, it was a poor choice – a low, snarling growl would’ve been so much better and made the audiobook so much more terrifying.

    My other issue is with the story itself. There were some tremendous parts, don’t get me wrong, but there were too many things that happened by coincidence that I didn’t like at all.

    I had a lot of hope for this novel when I first heard about it many years ago, and it’s a shame it took until now for me to get around to it. Maybe my expectations were too high, maybe not. I’m sure a few years ago, I would’ve found it far more enjoyable but by now it was nothing special.

    If you enjoyed this book, more power to you. But this one just wasn’t for me.

    Zombies?

    Your typical zombie story, but in the Star Wars universe. So I liked it. A lot of cliché’s and very predictable at some parts, it still is a decent read. The voice acting needed more “in context” emotion, though. No matter what was happening, every character seemed to have a non-committal, conversational tone, like the dialogue was all entirely monologuing
