Besides the chronicles, there are three published books, in publication order:
The Empyrean Age
The Burning Life
Templar One
Templar One is the DUST tie in book.
One of the things I've grown to like about the EVE milieu is the "high tech-low life" aspect. The setting is supposed to be futuristic but not unrecognizably so. Here's the timeline. According to the EVE back history, the various offspring of humanity had a 8000 odd year long dark ages with no recorded history, after being cut off from the Milky Way when the EVE wormhole collapsed. Mankind had to reinvent nearly all of it's technology.
You have, on one hand immortal pod pilots that can harness god-like powers who hold the wealth of nations in their hands and on the other, poor dirt sucking slobs chipping knives from flint or slaving away for their Amarr masters . . . all in the same setting.
Also, there is some rather good EVE machime in the form of Clear Skies Not exactly cannon, but there are no big inconsistencies, and it's won some awards. |

The most inconsistent thing of clear skies is mostly ship and crew sizes. Its in very strong spirits of the universe cept with a bit more humor then agin when its the rest of the galaxy is dark and moody humor is enough to keep you going.
Yeah, no big inconsistencies I said . . . it'd be hard to make a buddy flick with the three main dudes and their crew of 1600. . especially when the ship keeps getting shot to flinders.
had to fix post above and put in a link to the timeline off EVE Wiki. |

These will give the unique mechanics and sci-fi feel, but basics need to work right before adding or it will be hard to fix bugs.
Would much rather they fix the server side memory leaks before adding more bells & whistles or even before hit detection. . . let alone "SFness" Just sayin'. |
