Product Description:
In the New York Times bestseller 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. . . .

- Don't Judge A Book By It's Cover!
For a Star Wars book I had to give it 4 stars only, for no other reason than the cover art was so cheesy! Darth Bane portrayed as somebody wearing a really bad make-up job at Mardi Gra and Zannah with no eyes. I could barely get past the cover to read the book. Now once I got started reading the book, it is pretty good. Keep in mind I have a full time job and am unable to research every character and species and event in the book in relation to the Star Wars timeline. As noted by previous reviewers there appears to be some technical mistakes made in the plot, but if you are able to get by that, then I think you'll enjoy this book. So if for instance you would know something like - the Zorn Class Star Freighter wasn't developed until after Hans married Princess Leia but Darth Bane shot one down in the battle of Zugar which was 1042 years earlier - then you may not like this book. But if you know the difference between ... Read More

- A great look into the world of the Sith
This book gives an even deeper look into the sick and twisted nature of the Sith and shows just how far they're willing to go to plant their seeds of evil and hide their existance from the eyes of the Jedi Order.

A good portion of the book shows Darth Bane teaching his new apprentice Zannah from the first book, but it also focusses on Bane's drive to uncover even more secrets of the Sith by traveling to the far reaches of the Galaxy in order to better understand the legends and powers of the truly ancient Sith masters.

There are several supporting characters in this book that, at first glance, don't seem to have much to do with the main plot, those being Darovit and Johun, but as the story progresses they become more and more intwined in Bane and Zannah's machinations and plans.

The only part of the book I didn't buy was the final confrontation. I won't go into too much detail because ... Read More
