I liked the whole concept behind Death Troopers - zombies and Star Wars - so when this book came up on my WL, I figured the whole 3600 year old prequel thing would be a good read, too. On the whole, I enjoyed it but wish it was longer and a bit more fleshed out (pun intended); 272 pages is barely a start for many Star Wars novels. This book had a great mix of characters. although a few could've had bit more depth to them. (For instance, although he is a main character in the novel, we know almost nothing about Darth Scabrous when we reach the last page.) Also, I thought every Jedi was trained to fight as part of even the original Jedi Academy... What self-respecting Jedi would be without his/her lightsaber? Lastly, I did enjoy the bit of a twist at the end, which rarely seems to happen in the Star Wars universe any more, which these days seems much more about setting up the next book - or series of books. This one rates 4 out 5 lightsabers...
