Drew, I just finished reading Path of Destruction a little over a week ago, and I have to say it was fantastic. It moved right along; I wasn't bored once. You've got a good knack with characterization, too -- I went from hating Bane before I read the story (since he seemed like something of an automaton in the comics) to actually understanding him afterward.

I finished the novel hoping that you'd be invited to write something more about Darth Bane in the future, such as a short story, but I never imagined you'd be asked to write another novel (if the rumors are true).

I now have my first and only reason to get an Xbox 360. Drew, tell those good ol' Canadian doctors at Bioware that they rock. Very much.

(Now to get the money to get an Xbox 360...)

I loved Path Of Destruction, can't wait for Rule Of Two, and am currently playing through and loving Mass Effect. Just for a little shameful advertising, EU Cantina.netinterviewed Drew this past summer; that can be found here.

EUCast is also working on getting a live show with Drew, so look out for that!

Hey, there folks. Just popping in for - you guessed it - a little shameless self-promotion.

Only two weeks now until Rule of Two comes out, and I've posted a new blog talking about it. I also talk about it a bit on my personal website.

I also want to say thanks to all those of you who've posted about enjoying my books - both Path of Destruction and Mass Effect: Revelation. And those of you who didn't like it and posted - well, at least you took the time to read it. (And maybe even paid for it - cha-ching!)

Embrace the dark side.
Drew

Oh, yea, great read. I just wish that it was a little longer.

Looking forward to the inevitable sequel, too.

Both Revelation and Rule of Two were awesome, and now I can't wait for more Bane/Zannah awesomeness tongue

Hey, everyone - just dropping by to say hi. (And do a little more shameless self-promotion.)

Rule of Two just tagged it's second week on the NY Times Bestseller list. So, THANK YOU to anyone who bought the book. And thanks for all your comments.

Also, I've posted a new blog entry talking in detail about fan reaction to the novel, and my thoughts on your... uh... thoughts.

Drew's SW Blog

Might be an interesting read for some of you.
