TheBentOne Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I've only read fatal alliance and it was pretty good. From what i hear the Revan novel isnt worth the paper its printed on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordDeschain Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 read all three and enjoyed each one, as far as timeline goes revan would def come first as it takes place 300 years before the time of the game. then i would say deceived, since deceived is actually taken place right at the time as the first trailer came out when malgus sacks the jedi temple, thats actually the opening chapter of the book pretty cool to read through malgus' the whole destruction of the temple. then fatal alliance is sometime after the treaty of coruscant and at this time satele shan is the grand master, during the last two trailers "hope" and "return" she was not GM. so if you wanna follow the timeline read them in that order: revan, deceived, fatal alliance i however read them as they were published: fatal alliance, deceived, revan hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive heard they never got released in order and was looking to purchase them but not till I know what to get first. cheers Chronologically they are: * Revan * Deceived * Fatal Alliance I have heard that Deceived was the best recieved. I would check into that if you can't afford any of the others, I liked Paul Kemp's book Crosscurrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKMaster Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Revan wasnt trash like some say, and im no Revan fanboy thats for sure, to me it was like a reunion with old freinds with surprising revlations about the Sith thrown in. Fatal Alliance was surprisingly one of the best stand alone SW novels i've read in a long time. Decieved was a glimps into the mind of an extremist....and kind of disturbing, Malgus is completly obsesed with power to the point to where if he was the last being in the universe....i think he'd beat himself to death to prove he was powerfull enough to do so.

Morticoccus Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Decieved was a glimps into the mind of an extremist....and kind of disturbing, Malgus is completly obsesed with power to the point to where if he was the last being in the universe....i think he'd beat himself to death to prove he was powerfull enough to do so. His personality is the very essence of everything that every sith aspires to be, to read that book is to realize that the sith are not just your average darksiders, they are more evil still. Whether you take the narrowminded approach or open yourself to all possibilities as a sith, the pursuit of power is always first and foremost important. And that is why their order's creed is inherently as flawed as the Jedi code. They both focus on one thing and they both take their teachings too literally. The sith focus on personal freedom through power, to be powerful enough that noone can tell you what to do, but in seeking that power they chain themselves to their own emotions, believing that power only comes from passion. The jedi focus on universal peace and unity with the force, to live in service to something greater than themselves. To do so they forgo their own emotions, which ironically leaves them much more open to temptation than the average guy. This, in addition to the self imposed stigma that dark side mentality and actions place upon them make most jedi easy prey for seduction and turning to the dark side. In addition to this they are also much more conservative and stubborn, which is in itself a crippling flaw. That Malgus is seen as an extremist shows something about the sith order, most of them are too afraid to live by what they preach. And that is just silly.
