About this listen

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....

Good narration

In my opinion, this is the worst of the trilogy, even if we get more information of how Darth Zannah develops as a character. Sadly there are deus ex machina moments that are too evident. On the other hand, the narrator was impressive, excellent work.

Truly a great book

Wonderful job from both Drew Karpyshyn in writing an amazing book which is so, so good at shifting between characters, and occasionally showing the same event from different perspectives.

And a wonderful job by Jonathan Davis, really bringing these characters to life and making these scenes so vivid.

Amazing

Loved every second, only criticism is it passed way to quickly. I'm going through these quicker than my credit per month allows and I bought my first 3 credits. I did get a $15 credit though.

One to embody the Power, The other to Crave it

This is one truly only for the readers who ponder into the darkest corners of The Old Republic, "Rule Of Two" is a grim journey throw the rise of Darth Zanah, and Darth Banes continued study of the Dark Side. After Rain was found sitting next to the 2 Jedi she disbanded, a gleemish, hulking Sith Lord found her swarming with anger and rage, seeing her potential, he knew the Dark Side could only grow stronger in his new found apprentice. Both of these Dark Lords ambition for power truly plays well with the ever righteous ways of the Jedi, too busy with reuniting the once broken republic, neglecting the looming threat of the Sith growing right underneath their nose. A action packed addition to the Darth Bane Trilogy, constantly grabbing your attention from the powerful Houses on Cireno, to the deepest caverns in Naads Tomb, the Dark Side grows stronger everyday

Hard to beat the OG of the Rule of Two. Enjoy the development of Des and his growth. To see how well his plan is implemented, from ending the dark Lord's to taking and developing his apprentice. While growing in knowledge of the dark side. a great read
