Star Wars The Old Republic Revan Star Wars The Old Republic Legends
theres a book about him, and its actually really damn entertaining. starts with his life post kotor, why he left his family to find the emperor, and all the cool shit he did along the way.
edit: Revan
I'd say the book is well worth the money - http://www.amazon.com/Revan-Star-Wars-The-Republic/dp/0345511352/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1368471098&sr=8-1&keywords=revan
There's also a plethora of comic books, including a prequel to Annihilation, but I don't know much about them. Sorry.
Why one or the other when you can have BOTH? You could be a light AND dark jedi, with a bit of neutral thrown in. I'm pretty sure the fiction allows for that. Wasn't there a Jedi Master Neapolitan in one of the books?
Seriously though, big fan of the games, wish they'd make a third, never played TOR except when it was still in beta. I read the book 'Revan' by the guy who wrote at Bioware, and it fills in a lot of the gaps in the story, so I'd recommend that book to anyone who likes the games.
I'll be honest, I'm not sure what a fan novelisation of the game would add for me. Adapting source material like this would certainly be an interesting project and challenge, but what do you imagine adding to the story that isn't there already?
(Sleheyron could be an interesting addition, given it is basically only mentioned in the Knights games.)
In terms of source material, there is a novel by Drew Karpyshyn covering the events taking place after the first game, and there is also a series of graphic novels taking place during the same period, featuring Revan in a handful of them. There is also Star Wars: The Old Republic, the oft-maligned MMO that does tie up or string along a handful of plot threads left hanging by the two Knights games.
The book "Revan" by Drew Karpyshyn: https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-The-Republic-Revan/dp/0345511352
links the stories together. If I recall correctly, the book was supposed to be "KotOR 3".
>!In short, Revan has visions/nightmares of a threat that has been unchecked, this being the Sith Emperor that caused his & Malak's fall to the dark side in the first place. He goes on a journey to reclaim his memory that leads him to captivity in Dromund Kaas. The Sith (Scourge) who has captured him is part of a coup against the "mad" emperor and Revan slowly turns him into an ally. The Exile searches for Revan after he's been lost for a while, and arrives to free him. The three allies move against the emperor. Scourge has a force vision that they will fail, leading him to kill the Exile and betray Revan, who is captured by the Emperor (the vision was kinda self-fulfilling at this point - it is unclear if Revan would have lost without Scourge's betrayal).!<
Agreed, easily top 3 IMO. I'm actually currently reading a book set in the universe written by one of the games lead writers that follows Revan's storyline if you're interested:

Ha yeah definitely concentrate on school first! As a last resort, if you don't have the time or desire to play SWTOR all those hours, you can always watch YouTube videos of the Jedi Knight story (sort of like TV episodes).
And if you haven't already, read the Revan novel. Though it was controversial, and despite the fact that in my head I pretend it never happened, it still gives you the canon version of what happens between KOTOR and SWTOR.
Actually that's the exact plot line for this book

You should read this book.
The «Revan» novel though was pretty decent as for SW books.
Check it out. It describes what is happened with Revan after KoTOR.

Also, to add to that, if you're interested in Revan's exploits after the events of KotOR 1, I suggest reading Drew Karpyshyn's book "Revan." It's not exactly a pinnacle of literary craftsmanship, but it's a decent read that answers many questions for SW nerds and bridges the events between KotOR and SW:TOR.

> Second, in God's name, why didn't Ren dispatch Finn with the Force during their lightsaber "duel?"
Keep in mind there are many "light saber fighting styles", so it's not really known how Ren was trained. The most powerful duelist was Mace Windu, who never used force powers while in combat. It's not really portrayed well in the movies, if you've never read the book Revan the anti-hero Scourge fights in a similar fashion. They draw power from their enemy's emotions, and using the force requires that. The more usage of the force, the more powerful you make them.

I haven't read this book myself but I've heard Revan is a great book and its set during the Old Republic.
There is an entire series of Old Republic books you can dive into. But do note that they aren't canon anymore so anything in these books, KOTOR or SWTOR can be changed in the new canon.
This is the only novel I can find for Revan. In the game I mentioned, you can [] (/s "become a Jedi or a Sith based on your actions in-game. It appears the Revan in the book may be based on the Jedi ending to the game. The summary makes him sound like a good guy.") The game can take awhile to finish, so checking Wookiepedia like daran suggested might be a good idea just to get a summary of the events in the game.
