I am a huge fan of the lore behind EVE online. The tech the atmosphere it all just puts me in a geek trance.
I recently read
EVE: The Empyrean Age
EVE: The Burning Life
and am currently reading
EVE: Templar One
I highly suggest reading these books if EVE lore interests you.
Empyrean Age:
A clone with no name or past awakens to a cruel existence, hunted mercilessly for crimes he may never know; yet he stands close to the pinnacle of power in New Eden.
A disgraced ambassador is confronted by a mysterious woman who knows everything about him, and of the sinister plot against his government; his actions will one day unleash the vengeful wrath of an entire civilization.
And among the downtrodden masses of a corporation-owned world, a man named Tibus Heth is about to launch a revolution that will change the course of history.
The confluence of these dark events will lead humanity towards a tragic destiny. The transcendence of man to the dream of immortality has bred a quest for power like none before it; empires spanning across thousands of stars will clash in the depths of space and on the worlds within. Those who stand before the tides of war, willingly or not, must face the fundamental choices that have been with man for tens of thousands of years, unchanged since the memory of Earth was lost.
This is EVE, The Empyrean Age. A test of our convictions and the will to survive.
The Burning Life:
We all crave a purpose.
A fire to spark our lives into action.
ItGÇÖs this burning life within that drives us to our destinies.
But when it burns too deep, or goes unchecked, it can shatter innocent lives in its wake.
A vicious attack on a deep-space mining colony rains death and destruction on nearly all its inhabitants. Only a handful survive. Among the shattered survivors is a young man, hell-bent on an impossible revenge.
In another part of the universe, a wealthy agent of death finds her tenuous grip on sanity slipping, and is forced to leave everything sheGÇÖs come to know and love. But her last chance at redemption lies in the last place she ever thought to look.
Their respective paths take them through the vast universe of EVE, to galactic empires built on faith, hedonism, discipline, and rebellion. Their fates plunge them into the darkest parts of this galaxy, to encounters with denizens of the chaotic and dangerous pirate kingdoms. And all the while, as each draws closer to what they seek, they begin to realize that the only stakes worth playing for are the ones from which theyGÇÖve run so far away. . . .
Templar One:
GÇ£There will be neither compassion nor mercy;
Nor peace, nor solace
For those who bear witness to these Signs
And still do not believe."
Book of Reclaiming 25:10
New Eden: the celestial battleground of a catastrophic war that has claimed countless lives.
The immortal starship captains spearheading this epic conflict continue their unstoppable dominance, shaping the universe to their will and ensuring a bloody, everlasting stalemate.
But a powerful empire is on the verge of a breakthrough that could end the war and secure their rule over mankind forever. For deep in a prison reclamation camp, a secret program is underway...one that will unlock dangerous secrets of New EdenGÇÖs past.
It all begins with inmate 487980-A . . . Templar One.
Prepare for DUST 514.
Templar One is so far my absolute favorite. Definitely read Empyrean Age before Templar One.
