Story
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.

Story
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. But Bane’s acolyte, Zannah, has yet to engage her Master in mortal combat and prove herself a worthy successor. 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.

There’s something out there: a juggernaut of evil bearing down to crush the Republic - unless one lone Jedi, shunned and reviled, can stop it. Revan: hero, traitor, conqueror, villain, savior. A Jedi who left Coruscant to defeat Mandalorians - and returned a disciple of the dark side, bent on destroying the Republic. The Jedi Council gave Revan his life back, but his memories have been erased. All that’s left are nightmares - and deep, abiding fear. What exactly happened beyond the Outer Rim? Revan can’t quite remember, yet can’t entirely forget.

The Sith Empire is in flux. The Emperor is missing, presumed dead, and an ambitious Sith lord’s attempt to seize the throne has ended fatally. Still, Darth Karrid, commander of the fearsome Imperial battle cruiser Ascendant Spear, continues her relentless efforts to achieve total Sith domination of the galaxy. But Karrid’s ruthless determination is more than matched in the steely resolve of Theron Shan, whose unfinished business with the Empire could change the course of the war for good. Though the son of a Jedi master, Theron does not wield the Force - but like his renowned mother, the spirit of rebellion is in his blood.

And at the feet of its wise Masters, Lanoree Brock learned the mysteries and methods of the Force - and found her calling as one of its most powerful disciples. But as strongly as the Force flowed within Lanoree and her parents, it remained absent in her brother, who grew to despise and shun the Je’daii, and whose training in its ancient ways ended in tragedy. Now, from her solitary life as a Ranger keeping order across the galaxy, Lanoree has been summoned by the Je’daii Council on a matter of utmost urgency.

Publisher's Summary
Once the Sith order teemed with followers. But their rivalries divided them in endless battles for supremacy - until one dark lord at last united the Sith in the quest to enslave the galaxy and exterminate the Jedi. Yet it would fall to another, far more powerful than the entire Brotherhood of Darkness, to ultimately realize the full potential of the Sith and wield the awesome power of the dark side as never before.
Since childhood, Dessel has known only the abuse of his hateful father and the dangerous, soul-crushing labor of a cortosis miner. Deep in the tunnels of the desolate planet Apatros, endlessly excavating the rare mineral valued throughout the galaxy, Dessel dreams of the day he can escape - a day he fears may never come. But when a high-stakes card game ends in deadly violence, Dessel suddenly finds himself a wanted man.
On the run from vengeful Republic forces, Dessel vanishes into the ranks of the Sith army and ships out to join the bloody war against the Republic and its Jedi champions. There, Dessel’s brutality, cunning, and exceptional command of the Force swiftly win him renown as a warrior. But in the eyes of his watchful masters, he is destined for a far greater role in the ultimate Sith plan for the galaxy - if he can prove himself truly worthy.
As an acolyte in the Sith academy, studying the secrets and skills of the dark side at the feet of its greatest masters, Dessel embraces his new Sith identity: Bane. However the true test is yet to come. In order to gain acceptance into the Brotherhood of Darkness, one must fully surrender to the dark side through a trial by fire that Bane, for all his unquenchable fury and lust for power, may not be strong enough to endure... especially since deception, treachery, and murder run rampant among the Sith disciples, and utter ruthlessness alone is the key to survival.
Only by defying the most sacred traditions, rejecting all he has been taught, and drawing upon the long-forgotten wisdom of the very first Sith can Bane hope to triumph - and forge from the ashes of that which he must destroy a new era of absolute dark power.

First Star wars book i've tried and Amazing!
Been put off in the past for trying a Star wars book because I didn't think it would capture the same love for the on screen action and storys as the TV shows, video games or movies. I could not have been more wrong! Love this book that it has me so entranced to finish it as soon as I can. For anyone craving more Star wars this is perfect place to start.

Fantastic book. It has sound effects!!!
Would you listen to Path of Destruction again? Why? This is a great story enhanced by the Lucas Arts production. Follows the same genre styles and syncopation as the StarWars movies What was one of the most memorable moments of Path of Destruction? Darth Banes realisation threat the Dark Lords of the Sith were not travelling the true path of the Darkside. Which scene did you most enjoy? The Apprentice lightsaber drills and challenges. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? I don't know that anything moved me, however; I was not in a hurry to stop listening.

A truly great introduction to a wonderful trilogy
The Bane trilogy is one of the great star wars novel trilogies, and this book is a fantastic introduction to that. The way it shows the protagonist advance through a number of years without it being jarring is a great example of storytelling at its finest. The writing of the action scenes, the way it expands the lore, and the way it works in and advances other pieces of lore is great to see. A shame none of legends is Canon anymore, as much as I give the new Canon novels a chance to live up to the potential of this universe, they never end up coming anywhere near the heights of legends, and this is one of those great examples of that.

The Force is with Jonathan Davis
Would you listen to Path of Destruction again? Why?
Definitely. In fact, I've already "read" it twice. I got the print edition when it was first released in paperback and absolutely loved it. But after hearing Jonathan Davis read it, I would never go back to print. He brought this story to a whole new level.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Bane. This is his story, and for good reason. He's not a good guy, but you can't help but cheer for him anyway.
Have you listened to any of Jonathan Davis’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes. I just finished listening to Snow Crash and Jonathan is way better in this one. His voices are far more varied and they suit each character perfectly.
Any additional comments?
Path of Destruction is the best of the Darth Bane trilogy and one of the best Star Wars books available. I can easily recommend this to any Star Wars fan, but also to anyone who would enjoy a story about a villain unleashed. The pacing is great, the story is solid, and the characters cannot be beat. This book is well worth a listen.

Just wow, made the Star Wars interesting again.
Would you consider the audio edition of Path of Destruction to be better than the print version?
Yes, the audio uses real sounds from the movies, I felt like I could picture what I heard.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Bane, he's a badass beyond belief!
What about Jonathan Davis’s performance did you like?
His ability to play different voices without me really noticing it was him, few times I swore there was someone else.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When Bane discovered the Unknown Planet.
Any additional comments?
Without a doubt the best sic-fi Audiobook I have ever listened to. It was so good, I listen to it a gain, but I have to finish the 2nd & 3rd!

Thrilling tale
Any additional comments?
I know this is completely nerdy of me to say, but I absolutely loved this book!
It was my first Star Wars book. It came highly recommended and I can now see why. The story line was believable and you really get to know and understand the characters. There was always enough action and twists to keep the story engaging, but not too many to detract from the actual story line.
On top of that, the performance was extraordinary! There was music and sound effects that, admittedly, made me giggle at first, but then really added something special to the story. They picked a great person to read the story. Davis's voice was almost seductive and made me want to keep coming back to listen. Each Character sounded different and he was really able to show emotion through his words.
I must admit, I did not get much work done while I listened to this audio book! Great Read! Your credits will not be wasted!

Great Start to a Trilogy
What made the experience of listening to Path of Destruction the most enjoyable?
Adapting the dark side to be an appreciable path rather than just a choice of evil.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Path of Destruction?
Seriously don't want any spoiler alerts here
What does Jonathan Davis bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
As a huge fan of listening to the Star Wars books this reader was an excellent vocalist. Most of the other books are by Marc Thompson, who is awesome. I'm glad to know that they can bring in someone else equally as good.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Peace is a Lie, there is only passion.

Great Story, Fantastic Production
I really enjoyed "Path of Destruction". I found the story to be compelling and extremely satisfying. The narration and overall production (sounds, music, and voice acting) was exceptional. The characters were captivating and the stories being told from the position of the Sith and the Jedi were expertly done.
Do I have any complaints? I am not sure that I really have any. For me, this book was precisely what I look for when I listen to or read a book... a fun and interesting escape from reality. I thought the book was narrated to near perfection, it was well written, had great action, excellent dialog, and provided amazing production value through and through.

Awesome! Movie Worthy!
This story is so well written and so well performed. The story is dark and ominous very different from most Star Wars books in that aspect, but it really delivers on the plot. It’s the next greatest plot next to the story of Anakin Skywalker’s life.

Book one of the Darth Bane series.
Path of destruction takes you on a journey a long ling time ago in a place far away. Before most known lore of Star wars.
It follows the life of a Sith legend and shows you his struggles to greatness. You meet a wide cast of different characters all brought to life by a great narrator, Jonathan Davis, Which really pulls you into the story that bit extra
Another thing that pulls you in and is a fantastic bonus over the books is the sound effects. Just hearing the hum on a lightsaber just adds the extra oomf to the battles.
Its a must have for any Star wars fan or just anyone into sifi.
The great story writer Drew Karpyshyn really had made this series of books a great one which will make you just want to keep listening and hope it doesn't stop.
These are a must have in any Star wars fan.

Annoying background music over dialogue
Before the end of chapter one, it became clear that music would accompany all the action sequences. That works in action movies, but not when you are trying to hear what the narrator is saying. Shame, it looked really promising, but will return it unlistened-to.

Better than the movies
This was absolutely incredible. It is a must. Probably the best audiobook in the Star Wars series.

Really dark Star Wars story. Surprisingly Great
Initially, I wasn't sure if I would enjoy this audio book, but the more I listened, the more I became hooked. Interesting characters, plot twists, intriguing lore, the book has the lot, and then some. Also, the use of music gives certain moments an extra layer of epicness. The narrator also does a great job with the various voices, which gives real life to the story. Wish I had heard of this book series before. Loved hearing from the perspective of the Sith. Now on to the second book!

That was great, can't wait to start the 2nd book.
That was great. The character of Bane is compelling and his ambitions and goals curious. The fact that of all the sith it's this man, a big lump of a miner, who embodies the dark side more so than the sith of this era is somehow believable, despite me knowing I would have believed it before reading of him. The way he gradually changes in subtle ways as he grows stronger and smarter draws you into that belief. I can't wait to begin the next book.
