X-Indian Chronicles: The Book of Mausape by Thomas M. Yeahpau

Have you ever read from a book, and as soon as you got to the last page and closed it, you were left wondering what happened? Or have you ever watched a movie or TV show that left your mind lost right before the credits began to roll? If so, then this post is for you.

We’ve compiled a list of all six Mausapes in one place so that if something happens and there is no last book or film to watch for the story line, then this blog post can be it. The first part of our post is about what we know will happen with each Mausape in context with other Mausapes’ storylines. The second part describes each individual Mausape. The third part contains a list of what we know will happen to the main characters in each particular Mausape. The fourth part gives some predictions on what could happen with the different factions in each Mausape. The fifth and last part explains any problems that arise from the different events in the different Mausapes.

The First Mausape – what we know will happen:

It is revealed at the end of Book One that Rizal and X have a son called Don Phillip (nicknamed Philip) who is “the one” as X had previously said about him. Philip becomes Don Phillip, his father’s heir and great benefactor. Rizal becomes the first Mausape of the new world, while the Legend of Jalanon comes to life as Philip weds Jalanon’s best friend and main love interest, Liana.

The Second Mausape – what we know will happen:

This is a Mausape that has not been filmed yet, but was promised to be filmed in November 2009 and will star Danton Basco who plays Don Phillip. Rizal names his son Philip (the first Mausape of the new world) instead of Don Phillip which then spurns a feud between X and Jalanon (Philip and Liana’s parents).

The Third Mausape – what we know will happen:

Again, this is a Mausape that has not been filmed yet and it will be told in a future series of the show. It is expected to take place around the time and places of the third book Jalanon, entitled “Jalanon, The Legend.” This story is about Rizal’s struggle in fighting for freedom after Philip (Book Two) and Liana (Book Three) were born. This Mausape starts to come to life when Liana falls pregnant with Philip (the first Mausape of the new world).

The Fourth Mausape – what we know will happen:

This is a Mausape that has not been filmed yet. It was written by J. Neil Garcia, who started writing for a new generation of the Jala-Jala Chronicles in 2006. The fourth Mausape is about Philip’s story when he became the second Mausape and will most likely star Danton Basco again. It will tell how Philip finds and marries his love interest Liana, how he trains his best friend Santi (Jalanon’s real name), and how he comes to terms with what he has done in Book One when he took over power from his father, the first Mausape of the New World. This Mausape also takes place in the 21st century and it is expected to start filming in November 2010.

The Fifth Mausape – what we know will happen:

After the events of the fourth Mausape, Philip names his first-born son Don Phillip with his wife Liana. The fifth Mausape is about this son, Don Phillip II, who becomes a freedom fighter and then a politician named Jardinero (Philip had named him after X’s real name) and he takes over power from Philip when Philip dies of old age. This story is currently being written by Gio Tingson and is expected to release sometime September 2011.

The Sixth Mausape – what we know will happen:

The sixth Mausape is about him, his wife Liana, his two sons Don Phillip and Philip II, their best friend Santi (Jalanon’s real name), Philip’s ancestor Jean-Philippe (III), and a great grandson of Philippe I who takes power in the 21st century. This story is currently being written by Gio Tingson with Doug Mirapaul who will also direct this film. The film is expected to release sometime December 2011.

The Main Characters:

Each character plays a big role in each of the books, but not so much in any other story. Each character’s background is described below:

NOTE: Characters marked with an asterisk (*) were used as examples. The characters can be anyone you want them to be, including yourself.

Each character is aligned with one of the four factions that Jalanon encountered in his lifetime. Each faction has personal goals and helps Jalanon achieve his personal goals to stop Rizal from becoming a hero. Each character represents a faction and will have their unique qualities to contribute to their job or task that they are given per Mausape.

Rizal’s children are all aligned with one of the four factions, but Philip will be the only one who is part of all four.

X’s children are all aligned with one of the four factions, but Don Phillip will be the only one who is part of all four.

Jalanon’s children are all aligned with one of the four factions.

Various characters have been added as well in order to show as many major and minor characters that may occur in any future Mausape story. Some were included just to explain certain things more, others were included because they are mentioned often in other stories. The characters are not listed in any particular order as all of them have a big part to play in the story.

Major Characters:

Avarice – A character that never has much to do except for being one of three children that had the scent. He, like his siblings Malice and Envy, is aligned with Avarice. The first time he was mentioned is when Don Phillip said Avarice would be joining him and Jardinero for a banquet because his siblings had gone with Isaac to play ball. When the group was attacked, Avarice saved Jardinero’s life by shooting Rizal’s assassin directly in the head (Eroded Head #6). Later when the group was in retreat from the Mausape Society, X was captured. Though Avarice wanted to rush out and save his brother, he “thought about it for a second and decided not to.” (Eroded Head #8).

Avarice is a very reliable and loyal member of the group because he is rarely questioned. He is part of the core four and has been with Philip since Book One when they were all younger. He has been a constant part of the team, but sometimes plays an inactive role like any other character.

Malice – A character that never really plays much of a role except for being one of three children that had the scent. She, like her siblings Avarice and Envy, is aligned with Malice. The first time she was mentioned is when Don Phillip said Avarice would be joining him and Jardinero for the banquet. When the group was attacked, Malice shot Rizal’s assassin directly in the head several times (Eroded Head #5). Later when the group was in retreat from the Mausape Society, X was captured. Though Avarice wanted to rush out and save his brother, he “thought about it for a second and decided not to.” (Eroded Head #8).

Malice is a very reliable and loyal member of the group because she is rarely questioned. She is part of the core four and has been with Philip since Book One when they were all younger. She has been a constant part of the team, but sometimes plays an inactive role like any other character.

He is a great leader and knows the history of the Jalanon Society. He guides Philip and Don Phillip throught the whole book to help them understand why they are fighting.

X is part of the core four and has been with Philip since Book One when they were all younger. He played an inactive role in Book Two however as he was captured by Isaac’s men, but was able to escape in Book Three before dying during the last fight with Rizal at The Colosseum.

He is part of the core four, but was captured by Isaac in Book Two and was freed after some time in Book Three.

Isaac – A mysterious man that protects X from Rizal’s men while he’s in 1862 (Mausape’s Garden) during Book Two. He also helps X escape to 2013 (Book Three). He then becomes one of Philip’s advisors throughout most of the book (Mausape’s Garden) until his death at the Colosseum right before the final fight with Rizal. He is aligned with Avarice.

Conclusion About X-Indian Revenge

X-Indian Revenge is a book I have always wanted to read. When I first heard about it, I thought it would be an interesting book because the plot was really unique. I had no clue what to expect when reading the book, but overall I was very pleased with it. The story flowed well and was easy to read even though there were a lot of characters.

The biggest problems that were encountered were grammatical errors and being confusing at times. There were many typos throughout the book and almost every chapter contained one or two sentences that either made no sense at all or needed some more explaining/context
