About this listen

Twenty years have passed since Darth Bane, reigning Dark Lord of the Sith, demolished the ancient order devoted to the dark side and reinvented it as a circle of two: one Master to wield the power and pass on the wisdom, and one apprentice to learn, challenge, and ultimately usurp the Dark Lord in a duel to the death. But Bane’s acolyte, Zannah, has yet to engage her Master in mortal combat and prove herself a worthy successor. Determined that the Sith dream of galactic domination will not die with him, Bane vows to learn the secret of a forgotten Dark Lord that will assure the Sith’s immortality - and his own.

A perfect opportunity arises when a Jedi emissary is assassinated on the troubled mining planet Doan, giving Bane an excuse to dispatch his apprentice on a fact-finding mission - while he himself sets out in secret to capture the ancient holocron of Darth Andeddu and its precious knowledge. But Zannah is no fool. She knows that her ruthless Master has begun to doubt her, and she senses that he is hiding something crucial to her future. If she is going to claim the power she craves, she must take action now.

While Bane storms the remote stronghold of a fanatical Sith cult, Zannah prepares for her Master’s downfall by choosing an apprentice of her own: a rogue Jedi cunning and cold-blooded enough to embrace the Sith way and to stand beside her when she at last wrests from Bane the mantle of Dark Lord of the Sith.

But Zannah is not the only one with the desire and power to destroy Darth Bane. Princess Serra of the Doan royal family is haunted by memories of the monstrous Sith soldier who murdered her father and tortured her when she was a child. Bent on retribution, she hires a merciless assassin to find her tormentor - and bring him back alive to taste her wrath.

Only a Sith who has taken down her own Master can become Dark Lord of the Sith. So when Bane suddenly vanishes, Zannah must find him - possibly even rescue him - before she can kill him. And so she pursues her quarry from the grim depths of a ravaged world on the brink of catastrophe to the barren reaches of a desert outpost, where the future of the dark side’s most powerful disciples will be decided, once and for all, by the final, fatal stroke of a lightsaber.

Narrator butchers a lot of words

The story is enjoyable. Most of the narrator's performance is ok, voices affected are consistent . His speach is clear. Unfortunately, he constantly misprounces words, which is incredibly frustrating. Too bad it hadn't been caught either during taping or editing. Distracting enough I would avoid anything by him in future.

Good, but weakest of the trilogy

I really liked this book! But it fells like the weakest of the trilogy.

It has a basically new cast of characters (other than Bane and Zannah). These characters all have their own little story arcs that come together at the end.

(SPOILERS FOR BOOK 2)

After watching the Brotherhood and Hoth get killed off in book 1, then watching almost the entire supporting cast die in book 2, I was tiered of having to learn about a new cast of characters for the 3rd and final book.

It felt like a lot of these characters could have easily been replaced with Rule of two’s secondary cast if they weren’t all killed off so quickly at the end.

Great ending to a great trilogy!

A perfect tale of the Sith comes to a close in this one. I really enjoyed the story, characters and narration from 1-3 and I can see why people enjoyed these so much.
