JIm FUlner reviewed Death Troopers by Joe Schreiber
2 stars
This is quite possible the worst story I have ever heard. The story was slow and boring at the beginning. A "medical drama" where they can't figure why inmates on a prison ship are getting sick. When I had almost given up on the story, Han Solo and Chewbacca show up (apparently they were stuck in solitary). This was chapter 18 an I thought they may finally save the day. But two days later I finally figured out what this story was:returnreturnSTAR WARS ZOMBIES!returnreturnI just couldn't get over it within two chapters it had got too ridiculous and stupid even for me. I gave up and returned my audio book to the library without completion. I tried taking breaks for a couple days at a time listening to old FM, but still no resolve. returnreturnThe one positive I can report about this audio book, and the reason I didn't give …

For example, they continued to play a deep low engine sound in the background. So much that even when I turned the bass all the way down, it continues to rattle my low quality speakers at time. Blasters, voices, droids, everything you could expect from a story that continues in the tradition of "industrial light and magic" but on audio CD. This had it. returnreturnThe story set between the Episode III and Episode IV (which I think was closer to Episode IV though the logo on the back said it was in the Episodide III range) was horrible and certainly not work reading. The Audio effects of the audio book were fantastic, my guess is that other Star Wars audio books by the same producer would be similar, and suggest you start there. Skip the Star Wars Zombies. Zombies are dumb, they are even dumber in a Star Wars universe.
