The title and cover for the upcoming Deathtroopers novel has been updated on The Official Site; the book is now Death Troopers (notice it’s two words instead of one), and the cover has been revised to show that change. While it may seem minor, the reason for the changing of the title is a mystery, but it could mean nothing to the story. Look out for Death Troopers October 13th of this year!

Just a thought, but the separation of the two words is in line with TOS’s use of clone troopers (and not clonetroopers). However stormtroopers is still one word.
Also separation gives greater emphasis on the word death as the pause between death and troopers produces a more pronounced “th” sound at the end of Death. Whereas as one word, “death” rolls more into “troopers” lessening the “th” sound.
