Karpyshyn, Drew

Karpyshyn, the author of several novels in the "Star Wars: The Old Republic" and "Star Wars: Darth Bane" series, weaves a compelling tale with complex characters. This first series volume has all of the elements of a great new epic fantasy. The reader is left not knowing where the story will end up but definitely wanting to be along for the ride. Recommended for all lovers of epic fantasy.

Recommended for series fans, this might see unusually high circulation owing to its link with BioWare's Star Wars: The Old Republic massively multiplayer online role-playing video game. [The LucasBooks hc, published in November, was a New York Times best seller.—Ed.]
