## The Caz Solus Chronicles

```
The Solus Lineage

```

```
The Origins

```

**Age Range:** 7 - 17

**Time:** Pre-Clone Wars

**Genre / Aesthetic:** A Star Wars-style book that has a surprisingly dark inside with all types of horror, torture, psychological manipulation, and the like. On the flip-side, lots of funny aspects and some wholesome moments. Has a similar vibe to the Doctor Strange movie.

**POV:** Since the story is about Caz Solus, it's mostly in his view, but it rotates between his Masters, friends and enemies.

**Goal:** To establish Caz Solus' situation and skills before he joins the Republic. Also explains his knowledge on certain subjects as well. Shows his situation on Chassis as well.

```
The Clone Wars

```

**Age Range:** 17 - 19

**Time:** The Clone Wars

**Genre / Aesthetic:** Set in the theme of the Clone Wars--a gritty war with bouts of humor and romance. Still pertains to the horror of the previous novel, and takes a more philosophical standpoint. Also has quite a bit of politics in it, if only to illustrate how the Jedi will fall.

**POV:** Unlike the previous novel, most of the story isn't told directly from his perspective in order to grant him some mystery. It's told from the perspectives of the people around him.

**Goal:** To show the friendships Caz makes and the ripples he creates in the galaxy. Shows the growth of Nihilus and Caz's characters, as well as foreshadowing Solus' future in the Imperial Era.

```
The Fall of the Jedi Order

```

**Age Range:** 19 - 20

**Time:** Fall of the Republic

**Genre / Aesthetic:** Colder than the other novels, with a shadow over everything, even the humor. Exceedingly grim and morally grey.

**POV:** Has the most of Caz Solus' perspective yet, though it also switches in-between the antagonists and a few protagonists.

**Goal:** Illustrating the Fall of the Orders and Caz's hand in all of it, as well as giving a sneak peek to the character's futures in the Empire. In essence, tearing down everything that has been built and beginning anew.

```
The Exile of Solus

```

**Age Range:** 20 - 38

**Time:** Imperial Era, Age of the Rebellion

**Genre / Aesthetic:** A movie version of the game, *No Man's Sky* combined with Assassin's Creed aspects of combat. Pretty cold and gritty, still retains action and adventure and horror as per the predecessor novels. Comes with a helping of psychological aspects, and more philosophy than any other novel. Heavily emotional in the beginning.

**POV:** Almost always Caz Solus during the beginning. Most of the other views are to foreshadow things that he himself hasn't experienced. However, towards the end, as he reunites with more people, more POVs are expressed.

**Goal:** To show the work Caz and others have put in to overthrow the Empire, and simultaneously, the effect Caz Solus has and will have on the Empire, and the history books to come.

```
The Son of Skywalker

```

**Age Range:** 38 - 43

**Time:** Age of the Rebellion

**Genre / Aesthetic:** A proper return to the ol' Star Wars feelings, with blasters and Death Stars and the like. Less gritty now, more suspenseful. A shorter novel, the decision of it all, as well as a short dealing with the aftermath and the creation of the New Republic. Action, adventure, and romance...less horror.

**POV:** Divided in chapters by everyone. A different style as compared to the past novels, where it switched in scene breaks. No one gets more attention than another.

**Goal:** To show the rise of Luke Skywalker and the fall of the Empire. Towards the end, it shows Palpatine faking his death as well, and Caz Solus is so connected to the man that he doubts Palpatine's death.

```
The Order of the Force

```

**Age Range:** 45 - 55

**Time:** New Republic Era

**Genre / Aesthetic:** The most positive novel yet, with hope for the Force Orders on the rise. Still conflict, but very little horror. Action and adventure, humor and love. It's everything that the Clone Wars could've been. Lots of memories, Force ghosts, and reminiscing amongst the war. Like the Clone Wars, it weaves politics of the New Republic with the peace of the New Order.

**POV:** It weaves in between everyone around, including Caz Solus. From named characters to mass civilians or enemies.

**Goal:** To create peace in the galaxy and have Caz Solus finally relaxing. Poor guy.

## Allies of Solus

```
Sins of the Father

```

**Age Range:** 3 - 24

**Time:** Pre-Clone Wars, Clone Wars

**Genre / Aesthetic:** A very political novel, with a familial setting. Displays the dirtiness of politicians. Undercover agents, kidnapping and assassination plots, ploys and power plays. Set in the Galactic Senate before and during the Clone Wars, with two generations of politicians. A rather sad story, imitating how the abusive may become the abuser.

**POV:** Largely in the Masst family, mainly Zara and Kharon. A few perspectives of political opponents, assassins, and the house maid, Lovoria.

**Goal:** To peer into the politics of the Galactic Senate, and to show the horrors of the Masst family before and during Caz's time with them. Also to kill off Senator Zeke Masst and show Kharon being thrust into the spotlight as a result.

```
The Eye of Justice

```

**Age Range:** 29 - 32

**Time:** Clone Wars, Imperial Era

**Genre / Aesthetic:** A crossover with the *Daredevil* TV show, so it's a merge of Star Wars and Marvel vibes. Gritty, bloody, and fight-filled, pure combat with "human" weapons. All the strangeness of Star Wars combined with the emotion and anger of Daredevil.

**POV:** Alternation between Gatsby and the Daredevil characters.

**Goal:** To show Gatsby's search for the Mask of Mandalore, followed by him meeting Caz Solus and reuniting the Mandalorian houses for the first time in millenia.

```
To Kill a Jedi

```

**Age Range:** 34 - 38

**Time:** Pre-Clone Wars, Clone Wars

**Genre / Aesthetic:** Think *Hitman* games combined with Star Wars and a heaping of philosophy. Old-style bar scenes, tracking, sniping, poisoning drinks and the like, along with moral grey areas and cold-blooded murder. The least positive novel yet, though there's definitely dry humor.

**POV:** Solely from the perspective of Cain Boreas. Shows his self-servingness, at least until he figures out an inkling of what's really going on. Then, more POVs begin to enter, starting with his droid, GH-73.

**Goal:** To show the rise from bounty hunter to Rebellion Founder, Cain Boreas. Also shows how large the web of the Sith is spun. Even touches on Darth Plagueis' experiments a little bit. Displays the weakness of the web if one individual decides to peer into it.

```
The Finer Points of Neutrality

```

**Age Range:** 39 - 43

**Time:** Imperial Era

**Genre / Aesthetic:** Since it's a crossover into the Lord of the Rings saga, it possesses that magic of the world of Midgard, along with some Star Wars aspects. Similar to an isekai with less gals and more dwarves.

**POV:** Mainly from Fenn Kilvari and Duchess Satine, with several flashbacks to the past. A few perspectives of other LOTR characters as well.

**Goal:** To show how neutrality works for and against the people who take such a stance.

## The Hydra Squadron

```
The Savant and the Deviant

```

**Age Range:** 14 - 20

**Time:** Pre-Clone Wars, Clone Wars

**Genre / Aesthetic:** Extremely intellectual novel, very military-style with a helping of bounty hunters. Think if Sherlock joined the army. Gritty and estranged, with attempts to grow emotionally. Action and wit.

**POV:** Primarily from Tamara's view, with a few others from the friends she may make and the clones she commands. Several chapters from Thrawn's point of view as well, though he and Tamara only meet towards the end.

**Goal:** To show Tamara and Thrawn's estrangement from each other and their families, as well as how smart people are often used only for their brains. To also show why Tamara is the way she is in the Solus Chronicles.

```
Believers

```

**Age Range:** 13 - 15 *(Clone Age)*

**Time:** Fall of the Republic

**Genre / Aesthetic:** Colder and grittier than most any novel, and also a lot shorter.

**POV:** Mainly from the Hydra Squadron, but also has several other perspectives of well-known clones--Rex, Jesse, Cody, Wolffe, Fox, and the like.

**Goal:** To show the clones' perspective on Order 66, and specifically, the ones who were able to disobey it. Short, succinct, and emotional.

```
The Irony of Name-Calling

```

**Age Range:** 19 - 24 *(Clone Age)*

**Time:** Imperial Era

**Genre / Aesthetic:** A crossover with the *Legend* trilogy, so dystopian and cold with an overlording government and a rebellion. Lots of psychological trauma, a bit of romance followed by a lot of grief.

**POV:** Chip, Day and June exclusively.

**Goal:** To show the aftermath of the clones' perspectives on Order 66, particularly Chip, who obeyed it and regretted it after his chip was removed by June. Also displays how clones can fall in love. Chip and Kaede fall in love as well, before both are killed by the end of the novel.

## The Legends of the Matukai

```
The Brothers Three

```

**Age Range:** 31 - 37

**Time:** Pre-Plagueis' Tragedy

**Genre / Aesthetic:** Highlights on the war in the world of Avatar. Full of elemental battles and familial arguments and falling-out. Action, adventure, drama. Very little horror in this book, mostly just battling on and on.

**POV:** Juzan, Iroh and Ozai primarily, with a focus on the first. A few other points of view to highlight the family feud. Juzan's perspective is unique in the fact that he is entirely blind.

**Goal:** To show Juzan's rise and escape from Suduterra, as well as what he experienced there. A few years after may be his recruitment into the Matukai Order and his rise to Master.
