Summary

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....

Epic part 2

Fantastic continuation of the Bane story, with Zannah s powers starting to show. how will their story end?! I'm excited to find out.
reveals some fascinating background of the sith and Jedi, and shows how even the Jedi can do bad/evil things unknowingly - poor bouncers.
narrator says 'short-lived' weirdly though.. it's the I sound like "lid" or "skid" not "mile" or "wide"

Great insight into the Sith

Delves into the Sith code. Great for anyone interested in learning about the Sith and the dark side - not just the narrow minded, dogmatic view of the Jedi.

Epic

Thoroughly enjoyed, I never thought I would be routing for the sith but I'm starting to respect them more than the jedi. Quickly becoming my favourite star wars series, a credit to the writing and the narrator, plus the sound effects are well... star wars
The story is superb and Bane is truly one of the great sith lords in this universe, along with being a great character.
