Synopsis:
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
the price of redemption was high. 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. Somehow he
stumbled across a terrible secret that threatens the
very existence of the Republic. With no idea what it is,
or how to stop it, Revan may very well fail, for he’s
never faced a more powerful and diabolic enemy. But only
death can stop him from trying.

Review
by "Mr. Tunk", USA, 2012
"Drew paints a vivid picture of a post-Knights of the Old Republic
galaxy, picking up in the life of Revan after his Dark Side allurement, and eventual Jedi redemption. The story starts off at a rolling pace, and summarily touches on previous Mandalorian War events. The story focuses on the jaded Jedi traitor turned hero Revan, as he searches to restore his stolen memories. As Revan assists one-time enemy and long time friend Canderous Ordo with the task of finding Mandalors' mask and reunifying the Mandalorians, a gradual return of
Revan's stolen memories slowly begins. Desperate to re-establish his identity and atone for his past as Darth Revan, Revan confidently begins to follow the same dark path that led him to the Dark Side years before. The parallel story of the Sith Lord Scorge and his introduction to Sith politics, and his eventual encounter and subsequent alignment with Sith Emporer Marka Ragnos, is wickedly entertaining and darkly foreshadows Galactic events to come.
"As a whole Revan was wildly entertaining, full of
lightsaber action, and Sith history. This is a must read for Star Wars fans, and a great stand alone read in its own right. If you are new to the Star Wars books this is a great place to start."

Review
by "Master Nate Windu", USA, 2011
"Star Wars: The Old Republic: Revan picks up sometime
after the first Knights of the Old Republic videogame:
Revan and Bastla are now married and expecting a child. I thought
this was a wonderful place for Drew to start the book, I always
wondered what happened with those two.
"But getting back to my review of the book, I think this is
wonderful work by Drew. When I started reading the book I could not
put it down. It really does give you a little insight of the origin
of the Emperor and how powerful he is. Revan still is an icon no
matter what, I never thought a character in the EU will make such an
impact, but Revan has opened my eye.
"I don’t want to give nothing always in the book but I do
have to say that if you plan on playing The Old Republic MMO, this
book is where you need to start your journey."
