Zombie apocalypse yes, tale of the dark side, no. Now the rotting, ravenous dead are rising, driven by a bloodthirsty hunger for all things living - and commanded by a Sith Master with an insatiable lust for power and the ultimate prize: immortality. For the rare black orchid that she has nurtured and bonded with is the final ingredient in an ancient Sith formula that promises to grant Darth Scabrous his greatest desire.īut at the heart of the formula is a never-before-seen virus that’s worse than fatal - it doesn’t just kill, it transforms. Suddenly her quiet existence among greenhouse and garden specimens is violently destroyed by the arrival of an emissary from Darth Scabrous. Unlike those other Jedi sidelined to the Agricultural Corps - young Jedi whose abilities have not proved up to snuff - Hestizo Trace possesses one extraordinary Force talent: a gift with plants. But the Sith have disturbing plans - and none more so than the fulfillment of Darth Scabrous’s fanatical dream, which is about to become nightmarish reality. For the dead are rising: soulless, unstoppable, and unspeakably hungry.The era of the Old Republic is a dark and dangerous time, as Jedi Knights valiantly battle the Sith Lords and their ruthless armies. But nothing can prepare them for what lies waiting aboard the Star Destroyer. The Purge’s half-dozen survivors will do whatever it takes to stay alive.
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. 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.
“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 The chilling tale of the undead in a galaxy far, far away.
