Just finished listening to the book "Death Troopers" by Joe Schreiber. Got it free from Audible.com to try out this audiobook thing, versus a real book.
Had to admit I was a little skeptical about both the audiobook concept, and the horror-Star Wars combination, however i am thrilled to announce that i really enjoyed both parts of it.
The book itself centers around the Imperial Prison Ship "Purge" on its way to a Penal Moon with about 500 of the worst low-life scum in the galaxy, in the middle of nowhere their engines break down, and they are stranded until the come across a derelict Imperial Star Destroyer, from which they believe they can salvage the parts to repair their engines.
I wont spoil more of the plot in the story, but it has some interesting characters, the prison ships doctor, the correction officer captain, 2 prisoners that are brothers and 2 well known scoundrels from the Star Wars universe. Along them are a lot of side characters that add to the liveliness of the universe aboard the "Purge"
All in all i really enjoyed it, the narrator of this audiobook; one Sean Kenin really does a good job, with telling the story, giving each character a voice and his studio have put in some nice sound effects along the ride that made it more alive.
In case you want to try out audiobooks, i can defiantly vouch for "Death Troopers"
