Representaion As Books Red Harvest (Star Wars Legends Universe)
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.

Good lord someone please stop this man from writing more Star Wars Novels. Lets face it kids, this book sucked for many reasons. The Sith Academy is now on some new ice ball planet. Training sith with no balls. Sometimes these acolytes seem more in tune with the light side than the dark. Whats up with acolytes or initiates who can use Force Lightning one minute and cant handle a training blade the next. Light Sabers seem to be nearly non existent in the book with maybe a maximum of half a dozenFast-paced, with lots of action and gore. Certainly not a master piece of the genre, but fun enough to read.
Read this and more reviews on my blog.A Zombie-Horror Star Wars book? Now i have read everything!Red Harvest is set in 3645BBY (before the destruction of the First Death Star).

An entertaining enough read and one I sandwiched between volume 4 and 5 of Jordan's dense Wheel of Time series due to the fact that I knew it wasn't going to be as heavy or long of a read. No pun intended, but Schreiber fleshes out some of the characters in the book, but kind of leaves others hanging. Often violent and very descriptive, Schreiber deftly relates the Sith way of life in a school devoted to its teachings while the evil Darth Scaborous (sp)maniacally looks to his own agenda at
