I've read it and I would have to say it's really good.

But to warn you though, its quite gory.

If you've disliked the vast majority of SW lit over the course of the past decade, then for the love of god, get this book. Because, thankfully, it's nothing at all like that.

You mean, not like the EU, or not like Episode 1-2-3-CW?

Basically, yeah. I can count on two hands the number of genuine good SW books in the past decade, and still have fingers left over. Of course, I'm not talking about reference books or RPG books, but those don't really count, do they?

It was a good read, but as DB said, it is not really like anything you may have read involving SW before. Problem is it could practically be about any SCI FI franchise mixed with dead rising stuff.

Anybody else seeing this trend along with vampires a part everything? Marvel had zombies, now they have this Necronasha thing, DCU has Black Lanterns, Star Wars has Death Troopers, even novels like Pride and Prejudice and now this... very odd trend... I suppose it's cool for those who enjoy these types of stories, I just feel it is becoming old... or overused.
