Publisher's summary

In the New York Times best-seller Darth Bane: Path of Destruction, Drew Karpyshyn painted a gripping portrait of a young man’s journey from innocence to evil. That man was Darth Bane, a twisted genius whose iron will, fierce ambition, and strength in the dark side of the Force made him a natural leader among the Sith - until his radical embrace of an all-but-forgotten wisdom drove him to destroy his own order...and create it anew from the ashes. As the last surviving Sith, Darth Bane promulgated a harsh new directive: the Rule of Two.

Two there should be; no more, no less.

One to embody the power, the other to crave it.

Now Darth Bane is ready to put his policy into action, and he thinks he has found the key element that will make his triumph complete: a student to train in the ways of the dark side. Though she is young, Zannah possesses an instinctive link to the dark side that rivals his own. With his guidance, she will become essential in his quest to destroy the Jedi and dominate the galaxy.

But there is one who is determined to stop Darth Bane: Johun Othone, Padawan to Jedi Master Lord Hoth, who died at Bane’s hands in the last great Sith War. Though the rest of the Jedi scoff at him, Joshua’s belief that there are surviving Sith on the loose is unshakeable.

As Johun continues his dogged pursuit of the man who killed his master, Zannah, faced unexpectedly with a figure from her past, begins to question her embrace of the dark side. And Darth Bane is led by Force-induced visions to a moon where he will acquire astonishing new knowledge and power - power that will alter him in ways he could never have imagined....

Wow…

Bravo! Very detailed and captivating story of Darth Bane And Darth Zannah. Superb job by both Drew Karpyshyn and Jonathan Davis.

Fun to hear the villain side

Fun to hear the villain side. It's good to see complex evil characters. Can't wait to listen to the next.

whatever

Awesome loads better than this pitifully weak host of characters and storyline that Disney has come up with since they purchased the Star Wars story from Lucas. One other thing I will never use Disney's term legends to refer to the older Movies and Novels. I will call Disney's new storyline a bad nightmare and I hope someone buys the story from them and assigns Disney's attempts to alternate status and Picks backup with the original timeline before Disney.

pretty good

this book was pretty good I can't tell a lie though and parts it frustrated me but overall it was pretty good I'm a lover of the Jedi and so it's hard listening to a book of Sith and Sith Lords but I'm muscle through it and can't wait to get to the next book.

great series

one of my favorite series. great series great story i would definitely recommend this book

Like a radio drama

Loved this book and the rest of the series they were able to make it like a radio drama with soundtracks to help your imagination paint pictures in your head.

ends well

Its not as good as the first book, but still has some great parts that give that Star Wars "feel".

Not bad

Not quite as compelling of a story as the first novel. I'm still looking forward to the third book in the trilogy.

Good stuff

A must read if you have played knight of the old republic. Play them if you haven't.

So great and so excited for the final book of the trilogy

I recommend you to start with the Revan book then delve into the Darth Bane trilogy. You’ll get locked into this incredible, dark Star Wars world very quick. Johnathon Davis really portrays characters uniquely and gets you invested in the best and worst characters. Overall thrilling story with plot, cunning, action and detailed writing.
