I just finished writing my review of Red Harvest, but you won’t be able to read it until December. It was good though, and I wanted to make you guys aware of it.
Here’s the story description from Amazon:
The era of the Old Republic is a dark and dangerous time, as Jedi Knights valiantly battle the Sith Lords and their ruthless armies. But the Sith have disturbing plans—and none more so than the fulfillment of Darth Scabrous’s fanatical dream, which is about to become nightmarish reality.
Unlike those other Jedi sidelined to the Agricultural Corps—young Jedi whose abilities have not proved up to snuff—Hestizo Trace possesses one extraordinary Force talent: a gift with plants. Suddenly her quiet existence among greenhouse and garden specimens is violently destroyed by the arrival of an emissary from Darth Scabrous. For the rare black orchid that she has nurtured and bonded with is the final ingredient in an ancient Sith formula that promises to grant Darth Scabrous his greatest desire.
But at the heart of the formula is a never-before-seen virus that’s worse than fatal—it doesn’t just kill, it transforms. Now the rotting, ravenous dead are rising, driven by a bloodthirsty hunger for all things living—and commanded by a Sith Master with an insatiable lust for power and the ultimate prize: immortality . . . no matter the cost.
I didn’t enjoy it as much as Death Trooopers, but it was fun, thrilling, and creepy. It’s a perfect book for Halloween. Why they didn’t release it in time for the 31st is beyond me.
In any case, preorder it now and look for my review December 5. In the meantime, pick up a copy of Death Troopers. It will tide you over this Halloween season until Red Harvest hits, just a few days after Christmas.
