DESCRIPTION:
An excellent book if you like Sith and Dark Jedi, but otherwise just a good read. Walter and Louise I find the Star Trek (several series) books generally better than the Star Wars books, but within the Star Wars Books I only buy the dark (Sith) character books to have enough to read of the book series I buy. I enjoy more the positive oriented Jedi books, but this book has an interesting twist in introducing a Dark Jedi who is primarily motivated by simple personal greed as one of the key characters. If I was more into dark character books I probably would have rated this book a five star one.. Roger the Reader said A great ending to a great trilogy this final book pits. The final book in the Darth Bane series delivers on all cylinders. A great ending to a great trilogy this final book pits apprentice against master and the reader must decide who to root for, if anyone!The Bane series is one of my favorite Star Wars novels and essential to anyone who wants to further understand the Sith we see in the films.. My thoughts on the trilogy as a whole I've only read 6 of the expanded universe novels, the Thrawn trilogy and now the Darth Bane trilogy. I started with the Thrawn series as it seemed to come the most highly recommended of all the star wars novels. I read the trilogy, and was sorely disappointed.

If she is going to claim the power she craves, she must take action now. Twenty years have passed since Darth Bane, reigning Dark Lord of the Sith, demolished the ancient order devoted to the dark side and reinvented it as a circle of two: one Master to wield the power and pass on the wisdom, and one apprentice to learn, challenge, and ultimately usurp the Dark Lord in a duel to the death. So when Bane suddenly vanishes, Zannah must find him - possibly even rescue him - before she can kill him. While Bane storms the remote stronghold of a fanatical Sith cult, Zannah prepares for her Master's downfall by choosing an apprentice of her own: a rogue Jedi cunning and cold-blooded enough to embrace the Sith way and to stand beside her when she at last wrests from Bane the mantle of Dark Lord of the Sith. Determined that the Sith dream of galactic domination will not die with him, Bane vows to learn the secret of a forgotten Dark Lord that will assure the Sith's immortality - and his own. A perfect opportunity arises when a Jedi emissary is assassinated on the troubled mining planet Doan, giving Bane an excuse to dispatch his apprentice on a fact-finding mission - while he himself sets out in secret to capture the ancient holocron of Darth Andeddu and its precious knowledge. Only a Sith who has taken down her own Master can become Dark Lord of the Sith. But Zannah is not the only one with the desire and power to destroy Darth Bane. Princess Serra of the Doan
