Darth Hater

What was the other book that was announced on the swtor site again? Was it Crosscurrent? Or something else? Can't remember :(

Edit: Got it, Fatal Alliance.

December 28th 2010. Really keeping an open gap there and going for pre-orders.

I wouldn't be surprised if it gets pushed back, heh.

I really hope that the book doesn't read like fan fiction, where the release of the book being before the game leads to it unable to reference much of what will happen in the game for fear of spoiling it. So while based on the game is pretty much a stand alone piece of work will little to tie it into the game that we are waiting to play.

Unless I've missed previous references, the fact that this guy is named as "Darth" Malgus is pretty interesting as all other sith so far have been referred to as "Lord"

Previously Revan and Malek were the Dark Lords of the Sith using the Darth titles, so is Malgus a descendant of that hierarchy? Perhaps there are still only 2 Dark Lords and if the Emperor is the top of the tree then this guy might be the second most powerful Sith in existence

They have his biography up, he pretty much just a soldier and stays out of the Sith political stuff.

Todays update on the official site is pretty slick! I think we broke the servers though...

yep that's the first thing that came to my mind as well

Cover Art is badass. And Paul Kemp is on a roll. Crosscurrent was dope so this should be good.

Good to finally know who the Malak speaking/looking Sith Lord was lol.

Thanks again DH Team on more info :D

So since its based on the video game as it says up top wouldnt that be giving some stuff away? I guess Im confused as to why you would release a book based on the video game when the game isnt even out yet. I would think that would ruin some of the story. I am not a fan of reading books but since Im excited for the video game I might end up getting this book an reading it.

The events around the sacking of Coruscant and the Treaty happen before we start playing. We start playing the game around 10 years after the sacking and the Treaty.

Ah! Finally, we have a name for the "Unidentified Sith Lord". :)

And the name or Darth XXXXXX (and it's not Andedu.. lol)

Yeah.. and just figured it might not be Sadow's successor at all. Revan and Malak fit just as well
