Death Troopers

Follows the harrowing experiences of the crew of an Imperial prison barge that scavenges an abandoned Star Destroyer when their own ship breaks down, a mission that kills half of the team while the other half brings back a lethal infection.

Star Wars, Death Troopers

I really liked the premise of this book, the creepy atmosphere on a derelict prison ship was the perfect setting for this story. However about 3/4 of the way through new characters are brought in that I felt distract from the narrative and the main characters.
