the stories of the sith war before episode one of star wars.

I would love to see all the books come to life about exar'kun!  he was THE sith.  also the stories about when the sith were more predominant than jedi and they had a massive way over who was more powerful.  also when it was decided that there would only be 2 sith, a master and an apprentice.  that would be so awesome :)
