After reading these books I no longer want to be a jedi knight, I would rather be a sith lord! The three books by Drew Karpyshyn were really good. They really take you inside the head of a powerful sith Darth Bane (Dex).

The main character of these books is a sith called Darth bane. The first book is a book mostly about how he became a sith and started to learn to channel the dark side and eventually destroying all the sith to leave only himeself and an apprentice: The rule or two! After training an apprentice he anxiously waits for his apprentice to challenge him for the title of sith lord, which is the true way of the sith and guarantees that the stronger sith survives.

These books take place in the old republic, a few thousand years after Reven and Malak. Very interesting books with a lot of cool fights and even sith sorcery!

Get these books if you are a follower of the dark side! I know I will be when I start playing SWTOR.

Path of Destruction

Rule of Two

Dynasty of Evil

After reading Star Wars: The Old Republic: Fatal Alliance i read this on right away. This one was also very good. It’s the story about the destruction of the Jedi Temple. Jedi Masters and Sith Lords!

From the book:

The second novel set in the Old Republic era and based on the massively multiplayer online game Star Wars®: The Old Republic™ ramps up the action and brings readers face-to-face for the first time with a Sith warrior to rival the most sinister of the Order’s Dark Lords—Darth Malgus, the mysterious, masked Sith of the wildly popular “Deceived” and “Hope” game trailers.

Malgus brought down the Jedi Temple on Coruscant in a brutal assault that shocked the galaxy. But if war crowned him the darkest of Sith heroes, peace would transform him into something far more heinous—something Malgus would never want to be, but cannot stop, any more than he can stop the rogue Jedi fast approaching.

Her name is Aryn Leneer—and the lone Knight that Malgus cut down in the fierce battle for the Jedi Temple was her Master. And now she’s going to find out what happened to him, even if it means breaking every rule in the book.

I recommend it to anyone who likes star wars books.

Amazon: Star Wars: The Old Republic: Deceived

I have read a bunch of star wars books in the past but never in the old republic era. I picked up this book because it had good ratings on amazon. It did not disappoint, a real page turner for any fan of star wars.

This story takes place in the old republic almost 4000 years before the movies take place. The story is about these robots called hexes who could possible take over the entire galaxy. If you watch stargate then the hexes will remind you of replicators. The main characters are a young male jedi, a young female sith and a mandalorian. There is also a jedi master. There is some really cool lightsaber fighting between the young jedi and sith.

From the book:

Well back in the days of the old republic, smuggler Jet Nebula discovers a treasure whose present and ultimate value he cannot even begin to estimate. He soon learns that it is valuable to enough different, well-armed parties to threaten not only the peace of the galaxy but also his own life expectancy. The Hutts want it to sell to the highest bidder—whether the crumbling republic or the rising empire, they don’t care. The Sith, all two of them, have their own plans. So does the Jedi high council, with more scruples but greater numbers behind them. A Mandalorian seems to see in the find a clue to a long-unsolved and quite dire crime, while a spy of indeterminate loyalties plays all sides at once, which hints strongly of knowledge of what the mystery object really is. This novel is tied in to the Star Wars universe at a stage in its history that is still being explored in print fiction, and it is also the prequel to what promises to be the largest, most ambitious electronic role-playing game yet to be spun off of that universe. With so much riding on its shoulders, the book demands an unusual gift for cracking good space opera, and that Williams possesses in full measure.

If you enjoy a good start wars story and can’t wait for the upcoming video game then read this book.
