abracanabra: (Let Me Tell You a Story)
[personal profile] abracanabra


It's not well-written. It's really not. It's written in a basic style. Things happen because the author decided they would, not because they make any sense. And I am not pleased with what they did to that baby Wookie!

And yet...I read the whole thing. Because it is strangely compelling. Because it is Zombies...In....SPAAAACE! And not just any space, but Star WarsTM space.

I kind of expected more from this one...and didn't get it.

It was a bit of a let-down. :(

But the cover artist did not disappoint!

Yeah, I read the cover copy and kind of wondered how they ever let space zombies into the Star Wars continuity.

That said? The Star Wars: Republic Commando books are actually quite awesome. Much like Dan Abnett & Sandy Mitchell's Warhammer 40K books. It's weird when licensed books turn out to be good rather than what they usually are.

It happens so rarely that I usually stay well-away from the licensed books section.

Is the moral of the story just that zombies are so pervasive that they exist in every universe except for the real one?

They avoided using the z-word, but judging from how much they've been in popular culture lately--yes.

Isn't there a proof of the existence of god that starts like that?
