Path of Destruction: Star Wars Legends (Darth Bane): A Novel of the Old Republic

About Book : This was my first book from Star Wars Universe and I have read many now since then. As a fanboy who prefers stories related to Force/Jedi/Sith rather than other non-force wielding elements, this book was a treat. The book is very well-written and will grip you from Page one. It will give you a detailed and deeper understanding in the philosophy of Sith. There are many epic battles which will leave you awestruck, especially the Duel on Tython. There is so many concurrent story lines in the trilogy that will leave you begging for more, once the author switches from one to another. If you are a fan of Star Wars and want to branch out into books, I would recommend to start with this trilogy(or Thrawn Trilogy, but haven't read it yet. I have been told its epic) About Edition : I bought this edition from US and feel the paper quality is decent. Although I hold my books like a new born baby, I feel the binding is good enough to last a long time and you will not get a tear down the middle when you repeatedly open the book while reading. Any more burning questions you want answered? Asketh!

The Bane trilogy is probably the best novelization of the Sith Order. Set in the Old Republic Era (during the New Sith Wars) the novel documents the rise of Darth Bane to the top of the Sith Order and his formulation of Rule of Two. Perhaps the best part of the novel is that it traces the life of a regular, hard-working miner named Dessel who has had a terrible childhood and earns a hard living and runs into a series of unfortunate circumstances. Accused of crimes he didn't commit, Dessel joins the Sith army in their fight against the Republic, and the story continues from there. Darth Bane makes Vader look like a diaper-baby. The novel is well written and excellently paced. The best part is that this is not a typical teen read; this is written for grown-up audience. A must-read for Star Wars TOR fans.

The product was delivered in a very good condition. Overall the story can get 3 out of 5 stars, as I found certain discripenses in certain plot areas. Other than that the story is good and kept me wanting to read more and more.

This is one of the best Star Wars novels - mixing elements of the fictional universe created by George Lucas with an original plot, set during the distant past, and involving a new and highly fascinating character. This book introduces Darth Bane - who, although protagonist, is actually the villain of the story. "Path of Destruction" is the first volume in a three-part series of novels about the life of this incredibly powerful Dark Lord of the Sith, written by Drew Karpyshyn. Given the quality of the storytelling, alongside the expert handling of the Star Wars mythos, I fully recommend all three novels. This initial instalment in the trilogy takes place just over 1,000 years before the events of 'A New Hope'. The galaxy is divided and at war - with the Sith Order amassing its armies against the Jedi and the Republic they defend. On a remote mining world, a strong and muscular worker named Dessel - who, unbeknownst to others, is strong with the Force - must flee, as he becomes a wanted man. He enlists into the ranks of the Sith army - and quickly distinguishes himself as a warrior. It's then that the Sith realise the true potential within Dessel - and so they decide to teach him the ancient ways of their Order, and he is renamed Darth Bane. Bane quickly excels - but feels that his teachers lack the knowledge and powers to adequately instruct him in the ways of the Force. So he embarks upon a journey of discovery, seeking the ancient and long-forgotten wisdom of the early Sith. Eventually he finds the Temple of the Ancients, and Bane discovers Darth Revan's holocron. Using this knowledge, Bane crafts the Rule of Two - that the Sith ought to comprise of no more than a master and an apprentice ... all others are superfluous. And so he decides to destroy the other Sith - using a mythical weapon known as the thought bomb. The story culminates on a world in the midst of a battle between the Sith and Jedi - and it's there that Bane proves his mastery ... If you're a Star Wars fan, I cannot recommend this novel too highly. It's action-packed, fast paced, with an interesting story and a great main character. I especially enjoyed discovering events and worlds set so long before the films. More than anything, this book is a lot of fun.

O livro atende ao esperado,uma excelente historia... unica ressalva é que por não ser pocket brasileiro o livro é um pouco fragil

Stop delivering books in terrible packaging amazon, they always come in a little mangled.

Yurtdışından sipariş olduğu için çekinerek aldım ama 1 haftada geldi. Kitabı bir şeye sarmamışlar fakat bir sorunu da yoktu. Yalnızca sayfalar beyaz. Orijinali böyle mi bilmiyorum.
