Derfasciti Padawan Joined: 09 Oct 2012 Posts: 1 Hey all! New here and I'm interested in picking back up some SW fiction. The problem is that I tend to really like reading just about the bad guys. I always have. So it's no surprise that I loved reading "Darth Bane" and the "Bounty Hunter Wars" trilogy. But I can't seem to find any other stories that focus exclusively on the baddies. Any help? Thanks! Last edited by Derfasciti on Tue Oct 09, 2012 1:18 pm; edited 1 time in total

There should be, but I digress. _________________ Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice. The only way to get it quicker is to sacrifice the most.

Unfortunately the only books I can think of that focuses on them is Darth Plagueis and Revenge of the Sith, sorry. _________________ We fight, we earn, we never learn.

X2, I as well found that I enjoy the badies, isn't the dark side fun!!! The book Darth Plagueis is dark side threw and threw and I would suggest making it your next read. _________________ Mara: "Not many people Dare to hug me" Lando: "That leaves more of you for me then!"

It was OK, but I honestly found myself bored. For a horror book, sure it was gory, but nothing that would actually keep me up at night.

Exactly. It wasn't scary, just gory. The first one was more of your suspense, scary in the dark horror zombie novel. The second one was more a tribute to the slasher genre. I have a feeling if we got another one we'd get something akin to a haunted house or something like that. I really hope they give him another one because SW novels branching into other dramas interests me. We got the political epic with Darth Plagueis and these two different styles of horror novels, it all just excites me _________________ Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice.
