Red Harvest is an awesome mix of sci-fi/horror! On a distant, frozen Sith Academy world, a Sith Lord is trying to find the secret of eternal life. Unfortunately, he doesn't realize there is a price to pay with the dark ritual he is enacting. Before you can say Romero, the planet is crawling with zombies. A bounty hunter, several Sith students, a Jedi flora expert, and her brother, all become embroiled in the mayhem....And escape...Or a quick death....Are their only hope. Joe Schreiber has created a terrific horror tale in this prequel to Death Troopers. And it's every bit as riveting as a season of the Walking Dead. If you like zombies and/or Star Wars, you're in for a treat!
If zombies weren't popular, this book wouldn't exist. This book is on par with some of the worst Star Wars books written, such as Darksaber and the Crystal Star. It's a mediocre zombie story set in the Star Wars universe.
Death Troopers was alright, because it worked in a scientific explanation that works in the Star Wars universe. The writing of this book is just plain lazy, especially with the concept of how the zombies came to be.
If you like zombies, you're not going to be impressed, because it's just your typical zombie-schlock, but with Jedi and Sith. Yay. The least they could have done was make the zombies significantly different in some way.
If you like Star Wars, well, depends how hardcore you are. If you enjoyed Darksaber and/or Crystal Star, go for it. If you realize how truly bad those books are, stay away from this one. If you're in the middle, don't waste your time. There are plenty of other books, Star Wars or not, worth your time before you pick this one up.
