What do you get when you mix Star Wars & the Walking Dead? A REALLY frightening Star Wars novel that is especially dark and gruesome. In fact, there are places where the novel is so dark that the reader forgets it is set in the Star Wars universe. The problem is that the setting for this novel is a Dark Sith Academy is so bleak and frightening, which is pretty much right for a horror setting, but doesn't do much for a Star Wars setting. There is no humor, no cute droids (but there is a neat protocol droid that turns out to be more than it seems. There is BARELY a real hero to the story, because the focus is the total takeover of this academy by zombieish creatures.

The lack of the typical Star Wars fare mars the story somewhat, yet the story excels as an example of horror/zombie genre. The zombies are indeed terrifying and grotesque-- gruesome violence
