Publisher's summary

There’s something out there: A juggernaut of evil bearing down to crush the Republic - unless one lone Jedi, shunned and reviled, can stop it.

Revan: Hero, traitor, conqueror, villain, savior. A Jedi who left Coruscant to defeat Mandalorians - and returned a disciple of the dark side, bent on destroying the Republic. The Jedi Council gave Revan his life back, but the price of redemption was high. His memories have been erased. All that’s left are nightmares - and deep, abiding fear.

What exactly happened beyond the Outer Rim? Revan can’t quite remember, yet can’t entirely forget. Somehow he stumbled across a terrible secret that threatens the very existence of the Republic. With no idea what it is, or how to stop it, Revan may very well fail, for he’s never faced a more powerful and diabolic enemy. But only death can stop him from trying.

Great book up until the end

If you could sum up Star Wars: The Old Republic: Revan in three words, what would they be?

This was a great book all the way up until the end, until the writer placates Lucas by killing of the Exile and placing Revan in perpetual lock down. All so he doesn't have to make a third in what was supposed to be a trilogy (Game). What a sad and disappointing end.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Revan and Exile

What about Marc Thompson’s performance did you like?

Did a very good job

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Revan proclaim "Revan reborn"

Any additional comments?

Revan; the most powerful Jedi

This story will not disappoint any fan of the old republic, and Revan. I highly recommend this.

Terrific tale

An amazing backstory to an interesting character. If someone could spark a whole new series of top notch movies with this writer at the helm, you would have an instant classic.

something's missing

I enjoyed listening to this story, but agree with other reviews that the tale of Regan is missing something. not enough of the story focused on him for my taste and I wanted more.

Solid Back story for KOTOR

If you could sum up Star Wars: The Old Republic: Revan in three words, what would they be?

Good, solid storyline.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked the back story for KOTOR.

Which character – as performed by Marc Thompson – was your favorite?

Lord Scourage.

Any additional comments?

Revan, possibly one of the greatest Jedi, would never live up to his potential. The Jedi council should used his wisdom from being both Sith and Jedi, but they would fail to learn from their fundamental short-comings.

decent enough

like many I purchased this thinking it would be the story of Revan, it is more of a chapter in the story of Revan and gives the sort of Cliff Notes history of his life, scourge and Mitra are compelling characters, Scourge being a considerable part of the story. I found myself struggling to get into the story at first yet by the end I was looking forward to listening to the next chapters, sort of a slow start and an unexpected climax.

it's an adventure that takes the reader from the Old Republic to the hidden Sith Empire and even into the throne room of the immortal Emperor himself. the last few chapters found me binge listening.

the sound effects and voice effects work nicely with the story and overall this is not a waste of money. though in the end I found myself wanting more knowledge of Revan and his philosophy.
