Uncle Hoole wants to study the S'krrr--a race of creatures that look like giant bugs. While Hoole works, Zak and Tash visit the S'krrr's huge garden--it's the most beautiful place they have ever seen. It's also full of very strange creatures. When a batlike shreev swoops down at Zak, he panics and accidentally kills it. Suddenly, the garden is overrun by big beetles. When Zak wakes up in the middle of the night covered with creepy crawly bugs, he's terrified. Did Zak upset the garden's delicate ecological balance by killing the shreev? Or is something far more sinister at work?

"Star Wars for kids at its best",
By A Customer
This review is from: The Swarm (Star Wars: Galaxy of Fear, Book 8) (Paperback)
The Swarm, a sci-fi thriller, by John Whitman is a great book for young star wars lovers. Zak and Tash are brought to the Sikadian Gardens of the Planet Sk'rrr. Their uncle and guardian wants to preserve the beauty of this planet from the evil Empire. Tash and Zak meet a crazy inhabitant of the planet that wants the drog beetle, which are also his ancestors, to rule the planet. With the help Sh'shak they restore the beauty back to the planet and rid the world Sk'rrr of the Galactic Empire.
5.0 out of 5 stars
The swarm,
This review is from: The Swarm (Star Wars: Galaxy of Fear, Book 8) (Paperback)
I like how the main characters in the galaxy of fear series are always interacting with other more famous characters from the starwars universe. This book is no different. In this story they encounter one of my Favorite charcters, Grand admiral thrawn. At this point in the story, he is going by the title of captin thrawn. I really got into this book. The way the author described the story, painted a picture in my mind so vivid. I had to stop and scracth my head and make sure there weren't any bugs crawling on me.

Star Wars Galaxy of fear The swarm,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: The Swarm (Star Wars: Galaxy of Fear, Book 8) (Paperback)
I think that this book would be about 2 kids that fight giant bugs. Yes,the book was what I Expected It to be. I still feel the same about this book. Nothing about this book has changed.Thi9s book is about these kids who go to this planet called ''Sk'rrr'' and one of the kids accidently kills a bug. The main characters are:Zak,Tash,and Hoole.The setting is at the Sikadian Garden. The Book was actually about 3 kids that go to a planet called''sk'rrr''and one of them kills a shreev and it upsets the swarm of bugs.This book is Fiction.The author is John Whitman. I like this book because it has fighting in the book and it has adventure striving in it. I would rate this book 4 stars. The headline for this book is:The Sikadian Garden on Sk'rrr has many beautiful plants and flowers. By Thang Duong
