This essential Star Wars Legends novel is the first in a trilogy chronicling the rise of the fearsome Sith lord Darth Bane.

“A solid space adventure [that] charts the evolution of an antihero almost as chilling as Darth Vader.”—Publishers Weekly

On the run from vengeful Republic forces, Dessel, a cortosis miner, vanishes into the ranks of the Sith army and ships out to join the bloody war against the Republic and its Jedi champions. There Dessel’s brutality, cunning, and exceptional command of the Force swiftly win him renown as a warrior. But in the eyes of his watchful masters, a far greater destiny awaits him.

As an acolyte in the Sith academy, studying the secrets and skills of the dark side, Dessel embraces his new identity: Bane. But the true test is yet to come. In order to gain acceptance into the Brotherhood of Darkness, he must defy the most sacred traditions and reject all he has been taught. It is a trial by fire in which he must surrender fully to the dark side—and forge from the ashes a new era of absolute power.

The characters are original, the story is interesting the whole way through. I have bought most of the Star Wars novels and give two thumbs up for this one!

Very well written book.

I remember reading this series as it first came out, playing the music and sounds in my head as I immersed myself into the universe. I can say by far, this was the perfect audiobook rendition, the narration and addition of sound effects do it such justice.

Absolutely floored

Drew Karpyshyn takes readers back in time to 1000 years before the fall of the Republic in a non-canon exploration of a legendary transformative Sith Lord: Darth Bane. The story takes place during a war between the "Dark Brotherhood" and Old Republic forces led by Jedi Master 'General Hoth'. Bane recognizes that the Sith cannot win as formulated (the Dark Side of The Force rewards the kind of treachery and power brokering that precludes the combined, concerted alliances that are needed to defeat the forces of Light in open combat). Bane concludes that remaining hidden and treachery is the Dark Side's only hope of victory.
The book is well-reasoned and extremely well-written.. although Karpyshyn struggles somewhat reconciling that his protagonist is *EVIL*. He appears to vacillate between scheming mass-murderer, antihero, and sympathetic villain - even occasionally making his character too objectively morally "good". Still, I thoroughly enjoyed the book.

As to presentation: Reader Jonathan Davis is absolutely peerless. His diction, timbre, cadence, and tone are spot-on and - despite occasional uninspired character interpretations - his voice-acting is commendable. Less fortunately, Random House Audio editors overdo the background sound effects at times (including slightly too-loud Foley artist footsteps, for example).

Altogether, 'Path Of Destruction' is a brilliant first installment in what promises to be a great story arc. I rate it 9 stars out of 10. On to Book Two...

Excellent 'Legends' Book
