Yeah you read right

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Death_Troopers

Publisher's Summary:
From the first appearance of Darth Vader in the groundbreaking movie Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, Star Wars fans have known what terror feels like -- and they loved it. But never before has Star Wars publishing ventured into the unknown territory of true horror . . . until now.

When the Imperial prison barge Purge breaks down in a distant, uninhabited part of space, its only hope seems to lie with a Star Destroyer found drifting, derelict and seemingly abandoned. But when a boarding party 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 will die. And death is only the beginning.

For 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.

The possibilities...

Maybe we should bring back Anakin in the prequels as a lifeless, slow, dim bugger who lives to annoy people OH WAIT we already did.

Ships October 13th, 2009 and going for $16.32 on Amazon (Hardcover). Come an hour from now (when I get paid) that beast goes on pre-order. Star Wars and Zombies... it doesn't get any better than that!

That cover is so full of win:

How do they eat you through the helmets? Not to rain of the love-in, but I'm just curious.

They're blast resistant armor, not bite. :P Not only that but there's quite a bit of exposed body parts in a Stormtrooper uniform.

They use a straw, and poke it through the eye slots....

LoL I was in the same situation today seriously thought about buying it , then I just about choked when I saw Canadian price of $29.00. I've placed it on hold at work (I work at the Library) but will be a while 7th in line for the hold. Seems interesting though flipping through it, the author seems like a real fan of the Star Wars universe and is proud to introduce a boogeyman into it.

Mine's on the way...I'm not huge into Star Wars, but there's no way I could not geek out over this.
