The Republic Commando series by Karen Traviss is a little different compared to the other entries on this list..While it does take place v during the Clone Wars era
(Episode II - III), it doesn't really focus on the usual Jedi/Sith struggle. Instead,
this series focuses more on a special group of clone trooper commandos. What makes this five part series so special is the fact that readers actually get to delve into the minds and emotions of the clone troopers that were largely used as mere cannon fodder in the prequel movies.
In these books, readers will find that while they are mere clones of the bounty hunter, Jango Fett, these hard and tough clones actually do have fears and dreams as well as individual characteristics that set them apart from each other.
Throughout the course of the novels, one of the commandos from Omega squad even falls in love with a Jedi General. The characters and plots of each book is definitely well defined and if you are a bit sick of the whole light side and dark side storyline and want something a little different, this series is one of the best to start reading.
