Star Wars Legends Project #251
Background: Planet Plague was written by John Whitman and published in April of 1997. It is the third in the Galaxy of Fear series. Whitman wrote the whole series, along with about a dozen other Star Wars kids books.
Planet Plague takes place 6 months after the Battle of Yavin, beginning just after the end of City of the Dead (my review). The main characters are Tash and Zak Arranda, their adoptive Uncle Hoole, and their droid caretaker, DV-9. Wedge Antilles plays a significant role. Most of the story takes place on the planet Gobindi.
Summary: The Arranda's have stopped the zombie apocalypse from erupting on Necropolis, but not without cost. Zak has been injected with Dr. Evazan's reanimation serum, and the side effects are getting worse. Concerned, Uncle Hoole rushes him to a top-notch Imperial medical facility on Gobindi to be treated by his close friend Dr. Kavafi. A dire warning from ForceFlow, Tash's mysterious HoloNet contact, to steer clear of Gobindi at all costs arrives just too late. Why is no one being allowed to leave the planet? Is the Imperial Biological Welfare Division as benevolent as it seems? And what's going on with the weird green slime monsters that keep attacking unsuspecting civilians?
Review: This is another solid entry in the series that sticks rigidly to a formula that still seems to be working. It's definitely starting to feel a bit odd that Hoole and the Arrandas have just randomly stumbled into yet another piece of Project Starscream, but that's the sort of coincidence that may end up having an explanation later in the series. Meanwhile, we finally meet the menacing scientist behind it all and he's . . . well, I guess I shouldn't say. But it's an interesting development! Wedge provides the "celebrity cameo" for this chapter, and he's never failed to make a story better, even though he doesn't get to fly any starfighters here.
It's interesting that in the first book, Tash was the main point-of-view character and Hoole didn't trust her word, then in the second book, Zak took on that role . . . Here, the situation has somewhat flipped and Tash isn't sure whether to trust Hoole anymore. By the end of the story, I'm still not sure where they stand on that. I said after the last book that I'd like to see the ongoing story move past the "adult doesn't trust the kids" trope, and . . . I guess this counts. I was kind of hoping we'd be at a point soon where all of the main characters actually trust each other and work together, but I suppose it's fine that we're not quite there yet. Hopefully soon, though, because that will get old eventually.
Anyone who is enjoying this series will certainly enjoy this installment as well. I'm not sure why anyone else would even have picked it up.

Of the three books i read of Galaxy of Fear, this was the best story.
The idea with a biological warfare labratory is nice and very fitting for the Empire, also the idea of a contained virus was cool. Sadly the mentioned old civilisation and their ruins are, yes, part of the story, but not so important as i wished they were.
But still. The idea is great, and the Cameo of a specific character from the movies was a surprise, and i loved it.
The only thing that annoyed me was, surprise, Tash again :D but that's no big surprise. Reading children books as an adult is always a bit... strenous, because they are quite stupid. Tash was VERY anti everything and everyone is evil and, boi, that was so damn shitty. Everyone who works under the empire is evil, yeah, that's how life works *eye roll*. And another negative thing was that Tash could reign her anger in within seconds, because Jedi aren't angry. Ugh, that was sad, because I kinda had hoped this thema would be more important. Sith Tash ;D you know.

Alright, finally time to finish another ripoff cycle with another Galaxy of Fear. This series has proved to be especially solid so far, but it isn't my favorite to cover honestly. This entry had me interested from the summary so let's jump in.
Zak has gotten sick with a virus. Conveniently, they get close to a planet with the best infirmiary in the world, so they land there to see if they can cure him. They meet up with a friend of Hoole's who is a doctor, and discover the interesting history of this planet. They also discover a dark plan going on around here, and how it's all tied viruses. Oh and Tasha gets struck with a growing brown lump on her.
This one was still fine but honestly it's my least so far. You can start to see the formula here, as we got another one off planet where a mystery starts to form. That's fine by itself but here the concept that sets it apart isn't explored as much as it could. The thing with Tash's lump is just kind of there and doesn't get explored much until later.
I was really hoping for some solid body horror but we didn't get much. There's some later on with this virus but not a ton. It's less dark than the others, even if there's some creepy-ness with what this virus. It's interesting enough but not quite as gripping as the others have been. And this isn't usually something that bugs me but boy are there a few conveniences that appear near the end, and the ending is kinda rushed.
There's a theme of revenge going on here, as Tash really hates the empire for what they've done and it's interesting but not explored that deeply. They bring it up a few times, but Tash doesn't do a whole lot in the name of revenge for the most part so it feels just a bit tacked on. Also, there's a thing where this person Tash talks to on the HoloNet that isn't paid off but I assume it may come back later in the series.
That said, I still liked for things like the lore the planet has. The reveal of the villain worked, he gets amusingly mustache twirly. The arc is starting to come together as the guy planning all this stuff gets restless. It doesn't forward that much but the epilogue sets up possibly interesting future stuff.
Tash caring about Zack after he gets sick is sweet. Whitman turns of educator mode as there's a bunch of stuff explaining how viruses work which I found neat. Speaking of, yeah the virus stuff is...something. Tash's lump comes from the doctor giving her what he claims to be an antiirus that spoilers, is not quite one.
Huh, did all those anti vaxxers read this and think it was non-fiction? Sorry, I had to lol. Anyway, there was enough to like here, as it was interesting in some ways. It just felt a bit stale compared to the others, just a bit more standard and it wasn't quite as gripping. Still, it held my attention, and when you have a certain to do, they can't all be super amazingly interesting.
Despite a few bits, it's not essential but it was fine. Hope the next is a bigger standout, when I get to it eventually. That's all for this one though. Alright, I don't know when I'll get back to another cycle of these, I got stuff to finally get to before than.
Check back in a few day's time for the finale of the Bruce Coville teacher stuff. See ya then.

April 13, 2022The twists in this are extremely predictable, but it's a fun page turner. This series is pretty fun overall.
May 21, 2022
The first book was a mess, but this and the prior volume have begun to win me over. Whitman is still a sloppy writer, with deeply underpopulated worlds, a lazy reliance on cliffhangers, and a choppy, loose writing style that can often break up the flow of a scene. But what I appreciate is how sad and dark he allows his children's adventure stories to get. City of the Dead was driven by loss and grief, and this is driven by pandemic fears of yourself and your loved ones having a deadly alien infection as we see people being mutated into blobs of living virus, who stalk after you with their slimy tentacles. Even with the educational bits meant to teach young readers about disease and vaccination, the science doesn't hold much weight, especially when people are running around with goggles that can let them see clouds of infection in the air so they can weave around them (even though doing so would create currents that would pull the clouds closer in). The big cameo of this volume is Wedge, and while he doesn't do much, he's charming and gets in on the action well. I like that this volume finally reveals the main villain of this subseries, and introduces the mysterious character of Forceflow. It's cool seeing a story involve the internet of the Star Wars universe, and delve into anonymity, government tracking, catfishing, and having to hop planetary servers. Just imagine what dialup times are like. I'm really curious to see where this story goes, even if I have to wade through sloppy plotting like a character constantly racing from her ship to a building to her ship to a building to her ship to a building, which leaves me wondering how rushed the editing on these volumes were.

Another delightful entry in this horror/juvenile Star Wars series!
This one has:
- Slime monsters!
- Wedge Antilles!
- Evil scientists!

So, Wedge Antilles makes an appearance in this book. I can't say it's unexpected, since Luke, Han, and Leia appeared in the first two books, and then Boba Fett and Dr. Evazan appeared in the second one, but it smacks of fan service. Yes, it's a kids' book, and the audience is probably looking for those characters, but I can't help but feel like everything coming back to the Skywalkers and the handful of characters that orbit around them makes the Expanded Universe feel that much smaller.
In Planet Plague, Zak and Tash are menaced by some shapeless, infectious blobs (as seen on the cover over there). It turns out that these blobs are connected to the person-eating planet in Eaten Alive and the zombies in City of the Dead, but we don't see a lot of progress toward that connection, other than to make it. Whitman is working toward a final adventure that connects these plots, but not the way that Jude Watson did with her series. That's not a bad thing, mind you, but it's good to know ahead of time that these books aren't quite on that level.
Whitman still does a great job with his characters (strangely, DV-9's development is most interesting to me), but his antagonists here are too cartoonish. There's no real motivation or understanding them; they just want to destroy. It's easy to say, "Well, this is a kids' series", but other juvenile books handle their villains better. Maybe it was never intended to be that deep, though; this is, after all, a series trying to cash in on Goosebumps.
Aside from a sudden ending, though, this is still a solid read. Whitman tells a good tale, even if it pales when you compare it to Watson's body of work. It's not enough to make me want to read other books he's written, but his name wouldn't turn me off of reading a book, either.

The third book in John Whitman's fun young adult series Star Wars: Galaxy of Fear, "Planet Plague", is a gruesome, slimy, flesh-crawling little horror story that will make one itch.
Zak, Tash, and Uncle Hoole are on planet Gobindi, visiting an Imperial hospital after Zak sustains an injury. Weird things are afoot, including green blob-creatures crawling about through the city. There's also this weird rash that shows up on Tash's arm that seems to be growing. When Tash does some investigating she runs into a Rebel named Wedge Antilles, who is desperately looking to get off-planet. It turns out that this so-called "hospital" is actually an Imperial biological warfare research center, conducting highly illegal and horrifying experiments on humans and aliens alike.
Definitely gross but entertaining, "Planet Plague" is targeted for middle-school age readers, but the level of gore may be unsettling for squeamish young readers. Just be forewarned.

Okay, so I just read a Star Wars book dealing with a plague, during the Covid-19 Pandemic.
This was technically a read though, because I had read it back in like...high school (I was reading alot of the adult expanded universe at that time too.)
So, since it had been quite some time, last summer I started rereading the series. I had just finally gotten around to reading this book. I still remembered what had happened, but my knowledge was starting to get spotty, to where I only remembered the major events.
Even though it is kiddy horror, think of it like Goosebumps for Star Wars fans. Especially since both end chapters on cliff hangers.
Over all, I still liked the book, and plan on reading the rest in the series. If anything, I've never read the series all the way through, in order.

This book, about an engineered hyper contagious virus being spread by the evil government sure hits different post 2020, tbh.
These Galaxy of Fear books aren't great, but I think this is the best one so far. There were at least 2 good moments. One where the main character was getting overtaken by ooze that was truly scary, and another where the main villain was like "You've ruined my evil plans three times now, there's no way it was all a coincidence!" And the protagonist is all like "I don't even know who you are. I am just trying to live my life." Chef's kiss.
Wedge Antilles feels like an absolute jabroni guest choice, though.

I had high hopes this was going to be a very cool creepy story set in the SW galaxy. It’s not very creepy at all. They use chapter breaks to build suspense that just never pays off. This is only one book in the series so maybe the others are better but it doesn’t make we want to hunt down the others.
October 17, 2021
It was an interesting coincidence to read this part of the Galaxy of Fear series about infections, viruses, and plague in the times of COVID-19. Other than that, the impressions are not great here, since the depiction of the virus was too childish, the plot was quite predictable, and the main antagonist turned out to be not quite impressive.
May 16, 2024
Yep, this is still one of my favourite books, even nearly 30 years later. I'm always happy to see Wedge and I love these plague-infested blobs. So delightfully creepy. This book also showed that Tash is in the anger stage of her grief. She learns an important lesson about handling her anger, which is unexpected but very welcome in a series that's best described as Space Goosebumps.

Obligatory 90's ooze finds its way into #GalaxyofFear in Planet Plague.
Evil viruses and body horror ensue...
The setting is intriguing, and the true enemy is finally seen, but kinda meh, otherwise.

I think the series is evolving well, starting to reveal a bit more about connected villain, but also relying a bit heavy on cameos. I like Wedge, but he could be replaced by a completely new character with no impact on the story.
August 15, 2017
trent mailed me this book!!!! it's pretty terrible. there's a thing called starscream in this book. wedge is there. blobs eat people. what else can I say
June 23, 2020
Still a nice little trip down Nostalgia Lane, but viruses aren't my favorite, so this one was just okay.
May 15, 2021
Creepy adventures and fun cameos.
August 24, 2023
Book was amazing! Goosebumps style, Star Wars book!
April 21, 2024
Pretty darn good. It was fast-paced, featured a cool cameo, and had some creepy crawly elements as the book series title suggests.

Have you ever wanted to travel to space and meet new types of species? well I would this book is called Planet Plague by John Withman The genre of my book is science fiction in my opinion of my book is that the book is one of the best books in the series. ***Spoiler alert*** the main character of my book Tash soon finds the source of the virus that revels the person that wants to spread the virus all over the galaxy.
my story takes place in the future in many different galaxy's in many different biomes with many different species its relevance to the story is that it shows the characters in places that don't exist.The main character and her family goes to a planet because her brother is horribly ill. The main character of my book Tash wanted to her brother Zack heal from a virus she finds the person that wants to spread the virus. soon she is soon she is affected with the virus. So she let all of her feelings go and made the little virus particles let go of her, then her and family left the planet before the virus and sealed it forever. This story is person vs person because Tash is up against an evil scientist, I believe the theme of the book is that you can never be too curious because Tash found the where the virus is from just for being too curious.
The author builds suspense when the main character Tash found the person that wants to create a world wide plague on the galaxy in which the problem is created.The third person point of view affects the story by letting the reader know what the all the characters are thinking and saying at all times. This gives the reader a better experience in the story than first person for example when Tash is try to find the cause of the virus and then transitions to Zack so we the reader can know what both characters are thinking. If the story was in first person the reader would only know what Tash is thinking not all the characters in the story.
I was surprised when the author made the story so full of challenges for Tash in the story, it made me think that Tash would never be able to solve all of the obstacles she faced. The character I identify the most with is Tash because she is very curious like me and also very intelligent. My favorite part was when Tash found out that an evil scientist wanted to spread a planet plague, this is my favorite part because this builds more suspense and adds the antagonist in the story for Tash to overcome .
In conclusion I rate this 5 stars because this book in my opinion one of the best books in this series due to all the suspense. I would like to recommend this book to people that are fans of star wars and science fiction fans. I hope reading this book review would want to make you reach the far reaches of the galaxy.

Hoole, Tash, Zak, and DV-9 are on their way to Gobini to get medical help for Zak. They investigate Evazan's ship and attempt to decode data. All they learn of is that there is a government-run experiment called Project Starscreen.
Tash wants to get information on Uncle Hoole and gets in touch with her HoloNet friend Forceflow. S/he of course warns Tash away from Gobini.
On the planet, Tash meets Wedge. I don't mind him being there too much, since Whitman offers an insight on what Imperials do to Rebels or people who they care little about, but Wedge almost immediately lets on he's against the Empire. That was poor writing. Wedge is more attentive than that.
Wedge warns Tash of her hatred and anger, and she almost learns the hard way of the damaging results of those negative emotions.

Memories. This was my first Galaxy of Fear book, as a kid, and it got me addicted to the series.
February 7, 2015
For junior novels, these are pretty good. The stories are interesting, but the prose is pretty simplistic.
April 7, 2015
I like the story line of this series but this book just seems a lot more rushed then the first two. Still a good book tho.
