Are you going to be on any convention circuits? Can we see you at DragonCon maybe?


I can't answer that, but I do know he'll be making an appearance on EUCast: Live! For more information read here. If you can't make it, send all questions and such to eucast@starwarsfanworks.com. We're really excited to being having Drew on, and we hope you can make it!

I've read both PoD & Ro2, and I'd say I like them both. At the same time they were somewhat.....difficult to read. This is due to the fact that the hero is also the villain. You're cheering on Darth Bane while at the same time realizing that he is messing up the Jedi & slaughtering innocents. In this context, I'd say I like PoD better, as it's more Bane vs Sith, than Bane vs Jedi. And he wins against all his naysayers. So that book kicks arse. Ro2 for me is too depressing, especially when Bane & Zannah kill all those Jedi & the healers. *weeps* But Drew, you are a great writer. Thumbs up.

Hey everyone - big fan of Drew's here. I tore through the Bane stuff and might even grab his Mass Effect stuff.

I just wanted to let everyone know, I just posted a feature interview with Drew over at:

http://www.galacticbinder.com

Stop by and check it out. TheForce.net is mentioned in the interview. And Drew tells everyone what in Star Wars still gives him the "shivers"!!

BioWare have posted a preview chapter of Drew's upcoming Mass Effect: Ascension.

I'm looking forward to this.

I'm a big fan of Drew. Love KotOR, and I loved Path of Destruction. I have yet to get my hands on Rule of Two though(But I WILL).
I loved the Inputs of Revan and other KotOR bits on PoD.
PoD has got to rank up there with some of the best books I've read. Not quite as good as Koontz or King, but damn good.

So I finished Ascension, and I'd actually go as far to say that it's Drew's best novel. I definitely recommend it. happy

Finally got around to finishing Mass Effect and reading Ascension (didn't have much time in Japan tongue ), and I'm glad I did. The game didn't really hook me until halfway through Noveria, so I was worried it wasn't going to live up to my expectations. Then it got moving, so yay.

Also, Ascension's really good. Looking forward to whatever's next in ME now tongue

I'm looking forward to some great things in Bane 3. I reckon Bane's going to die though and we'll get to see Zannah's apprentice, whoever that may be.

What would be interesting is how the Jedi find out about the Rule of Two. Also, if that Jedi Padawan Zannah impersonated turns up at the temple and says she never left the planet where she was. All it would take is someone asking a few questions and then maybe they'd realise the Sith weren't dead after all.
