  <description><![CDATA[In the New York Times bestseller Darth Bane: Path of Destruction, Drew Karpyshyn painted a gripping portrait of a young man&#8217;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&#8211;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.<br/><br/>Two there should be; no more, no less.<br/>One to embody the power, the other to crave it.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>But there is one who is determined to stop Darth Bane: Johun Othone, Padawan to Jedi Master Lord Hoth, who died at Bane&#8217;s hands in the last great Sith War. Though the rest of the Jedi scoff at him, Joshua&#8217;s belief that there are surviving Sith on the loose is unshakeable.<br/><br/>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&#8211;power that will alter him in ways he could never have imagined. . . .]]></description>

He does an excellent job of humanizing characters that would likely be stereotypical one-dimensional &quot;bad guys&quot; on the big screen.

    <body><![CDATA[Where to begin with this mess of a book.  First off this guy should not be allowed to ever write a Star Wars book ever again as it seems like he hasn't read any of the books or seen the movies.  It was truly awful and was just a waste of a book.  He should stick to making video games like he had on ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/41284620">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[In the New York Times bestseller Darth Bane: Path of Destruction, Drew Karpyshyn painted a gripping portrait of a young man&#8217;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&#8211;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.<br/><br/>Two there should be; no more, no less.<br/>One to embody the power, the other to crave it.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>But there is one who is determined to stop Darth Bane: Johun Othone, Padawan to Jedi Master Lord Hoth, who died at Bane&#8217;s hands in the last great Sith War.

    <![CDATA[In the New York Times bestseller Darth Bane: Path of Destruction, Drew Karpyshyn painted a gripping portrait of a young man&#8217;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&#8211;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.<br/><br/>Two there should be; no more, no less.<br/>One to embody the power, the other to crave it.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>But there is one who is determined to stop Darth Bane: Johun Othone, Padawan to Jedi Master Lord Hoth, who died at Bane&#8217;s hands in the last great Sith War. Though the rest of the Jedi scoff at him, Joshua&#8217;s belief that there are surviving Sith on the loose is unshakeable.<br/><br/>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&#8211;power that will alter him in ways he could never have imagined. . . .]]>

    <body><![CDATA[     This book was a great second book in the series. I enjoy how it went right from the last book into it. I thought Darth Bane: Rule of Two by Drew Karpyshyn is a great Science Fiction book. I believe Darth Bane gets even more evil and more greedy.

    <![CDATA[In the New York Times bestseller Darth Bane: Path of Destruction, Drew Karpyshyn painted a gripping portrait of a young man&#8217;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&#8211;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.<br/><br/>Two there should be; no more, no less.<br/>One to embody the power, the other to crave it.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>But there is one who is determined to stop Darth Bane: Johun Othone, Padawan to Jedi Master Lord Hoth, who died at Bane&#8217;s hands in the last great Sith War. Though the rest of the Jedi scoff at him, Joshua&#8217;s belief that there are surviving Sith on the loose is unshakeable.<br/><br/>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&#8211;power that will alter him in ways he could never have imagined. . . .]]>
