Star Wars Darth Bane Path of Destruction by Drew Karpyshyn (2006, Hardcover)

Star Wars Darth Bane: Path of Destruction

This book is a hardcover book that was written by Drew Karpyshyn.
It was released in September of 2006 by Del Rey books.

Darth Bane: Path of Destruction is set in the final years of the Sith verses
Jedi wars. The time fram is about 1000 years before the battle of Yavin in
the Star Wars Timeline.

This book starts off with the introduction of Dessel as the major character.
He is a miner on the planet Apatros. He has always had feelings of things
that would happen before they did. After a huge Sabacc game circumstances that
are out of his control he ends up murdering a Republic soldier and he goes on
the run joining the Sith armies as a recruit.

In the Sith army he distinguishes himself as a masterful warrior and tactician.
His Sith masters recognize the force potential in him and train him to become
a Sith Lord.

During his training he learns and finally rejects all that is taught to him.
He is left to draw upon the ancient master's texts to gain new knowledge. It is in
these texts that he finds information to help him become the master of the Sith!

The book goes on to show the final battles of the Jedi army of the Light against
the Sith brotherhood of Darkness.

This book was really interesting. It was so fun to read about the ancient
Sith empire. You also were able to see the birth of the Sith mantra of:
"Two there should be; no more, no less; One to embody the power, the other to crave it." which continued all the way up to Palpatine and Vader!

This is an awesome read. This was the first book I have read in the Old Republic/Sith Era series and I had a blast.

5/5, a perfect book!
