Publisher's summary

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.

Critic reviews

“Brilliant . . . This book combines two of my favorite things on earth: the Star Wars universe and the undead.”—Tommy Wirkola, director of Dead Snow

Featured Article: Bright Suns! On Star Wars, Fandom, and a Trip to the Galaxy's Edge


There’s a universality to the Star Wars franchise, a world so sprawling that no matter who you are, you’re bound to find something—an adventure, a moment, a character—that resonates with you. And if you were to ask any fan, they’d likely be able to recount a memory directly tied to the series. On a 2021 journey from the East Coast to the Outer Rim, one Audible editor and Star Wars superfan saw all of her wildest, most interstellar dreams become reality.

Completely worthwhile

Truly awesome story and narration. I absolutely loved the Star Wars adaptation of a George R. Romero classic zombie mayhem murder romp with a neat science twist to bring it all together.

I want more!

This was such a dope story!!!!! Star Wars did such an amazing spin on one of my all time favorite categories…. With that being said… I don’t want to give anything away! Give this book a look! You won’t regret it. Especially if you love the genre that they tie into.

Wrong title?

Not sure why this is called Death troopers? After reading the Thrawn series, I had the impression that death troopers were a specific type of storm troopers, but this book doesn’t seem consistent with that. Other than that the story is enjoyable and fun to listen to. Love the sound effects, and the narration is excellent. It’s excellent storytelling more than just a “book on tape”.

Star Wars meets The Walking Dead

I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook. Mashing up my favorite franchise (Star Wars) with one of my favorite genre antagonists (Zombies) - color me giddy! Schreiber’s story is fantastic! The average length of each chapter is around 8 or 9 minutes, perfectly amping up the suspense and daring the listener to push “Stop.” And (spoiler alert - or is it…?), no one is safe. Sean Kenin’s performance is top tier. His natural baritone belies his ability to morph into a young boy and an adult female. A departure from the usual Star Wars book, “Death Troopers” is a refreshing yarn that serves as a creepy standalone story, a literary sorbet to cleanse the palate. Highly recommended!
