Rule of Two

Star Wars Legends (Darth Bane)

By: Drew Karpyshyn

Narrated by: Jonathan Davis

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....

F?;*ing Gangster! Only "Darth Plagus" Challenges This One...

I don't know why they don't make movies like this. To me, Star Wars and the new Star Wars don't even compare slightly to this and the other epics told from the perspective of the Darkside.

I'll keep it short. Buy this. Press play, and... Get ready to be seduced by the Darkside…

PS. If you've experienced "Darth Plague" you'll love this bad boy (and vice versa)...

Great listene

The story was well read. It had music and sounds from Star Wars and it made it seem like I was actually listening to a movie than listening to a book.

Absolutely captivating!!

I'm new to Star Wars books but not to Star Wars. Not sure where I should start, I found the first book of this series as my free book from Audible and I was hooked. Now moving on to my third and I believe final book of Darth Bane, I wonder what other books are in line with this series?!?!?!

Awesome!

It really is too bad Darth Bane is not part of canon. Just bad ass Star Wars.

phenomenal

This is some of the best starwars I have ever heard! simply fantastic I highly recommend to any true fans

Uma pérola das mais valiosas da literatura

Trabalho de uma qualidade muito grande e muito especial, foi empolgante de início ao fim,
Porque não posse deixar de incluir aqui uma clássico das classificações, "must read".

Enjoyable but Disheartening

Truly, this is a great story explaining Sith philosophy. However, I dislike their methods of self-preservation and how they make a vow to destroy one to excel in their order.

Bane is such an excellent character.

Bane is such a good character. Despite being overwhelmingly powerful the author continues to find ways of defeating him without really diminishing how much of a threat he is by utilizing the force in interesting ways that doesn't seem too outside the realm of possibility. It's rather unfortunate knowing at some point he has to die.

awesome

great book. absolutely loving the quality of all the novels. all of the old republic books have been amazing.

Best series ever

I'm amazing book and so well I had the chance to go through all of them would recommend to anyone .
