Death Troopers/YMMV

• Crowning Moment of Awesome: Too many to list.
• Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: Almost any brotherly conversation Kale has with Trig.
• Moral Event Horizon: Gorrister and the Imperial cannibal crew commit this with their eating habits.
• Squick: The novel is loaded with it, mostly through the descriptions of peoples' deaths and certain plot points in the latter half, most notably of which are the cannibalistic Imperial survivors that try to eat Sartoris and the appropriately-dubbed 'skin hill' that Trig finds made of limbs, corpses and zombified remains - including his brother who has half his head missing.
• Villain Decay: Used with Sartoris, who starts as a sadistic mo'fo with a grudge against Papa Longo, but ends becoming a temporary ally to the survivors who tells Trig that his father was a good man. Keeping in mind that he beat the everliving crap out of Papa Longo, and was even implied to have enjoyed it.
