Reddit reviews EVE: Templar One (EVE Series)

Silly you, there are no Eve books.

As an interesting side-note, the K-space sleeper ruins can only be found in Minmatar space (Ani COSMOS Constellation). The human Sleepers, not the automated drones that people fight in w-space. So, it is likely the two races were connected before the Eve Gate collapsed.

Sleepers are in some kind of VR-hibernation thing inside the w-space stations, defended by sleeper drones. The lore is that empire people are harvesting the hibernating bodies of sleepers, cutting open their heads, and ripping out an implant that they then stick inside the heads of DUST soldiers. Sleepers are sometimes able to take over control of the soldier's body (lore) through the implant. For more info, read Templar One.

Needless to say, there's probably a lot more going on that isn't "public" yet. The Sleeper-Minmatar link has not been touched much in the official lore.

Hey man, Ashterothi from Hydrostatic, we provide good digestion of the information, but we are not a primary source material.

Here is a priority list for your study:

Lore Survival Guide by friend of the show Mark 726 - man he is amazing

Hydrostatic Know Your Lore for any topic you're interested in.

Hydrostatic Lore Panels - each is 2 hours of lore with some of the top lore experts in EVE. The first one is mostly background, and the following are processing the information as we got it.

EVE Source - an EXCELLENT Lore bible from CCP

EVE Chronicles - Over a decade of EVE narrative

Empyrean Age and Templar One - although many in the lore community have their reservations about Tony G. These are pretty fun romps through the EVE universe.

The Burning Life - Glorified fanfiction that takes a tour of EVE Online, honestly the above resources replace any value from this book.

EVE Wiki, past news items - Unfortunately time has rotted these resources (not inaccurate, but plenty of dead links and false trails)

This list is in order of how much effort vs. information you gain. Most of all I would recommend joining the Tweetfleet slack and come to the #lore channel. I literally knew nothing about the lore when the Drifters attacked. Like the rest of EVE, it isn't that hard to learn the lore as long as you put some energy into it.

There are more books tho

>It is hated by everyone including devs.

Hated so much CCP had him write the Dust514 book. http://www.amazon.com/EVE-Templar-One-Tony-Gonzales/dp/0765326191

They're mainly their own legitimate books, so you'd need to buy them off Amazon or something.
I haven't read them but i've gotten parts here and there and would honestly consider getting it if I wasn't a broke student.

I highly recommend reading the Lore Survival Guide linked from the site. It covers a great deal of lore information.

The EVE Fiction link on the site is the new portal CCP has put up and contains the old lore articles, Chronicles and short stories. The bulk of the theories are derived from information across the various Chronicles and the novels "The Empyrean Age" and "Templar One" which can be found on Amazon. I also spent several week re-reading the news articles found on the EVE World News pages.

http://www.amazon.com/EVE-Templar-One-Tony-Gonzales/dp/0765326191/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_y Templar One has a audiobook version.

These are based on the same universe as the MMO EVE Online. I'll admit being a player of the game probably enhances the enjoyment of these books. EVE is pure science, no magic or co-habitation with aliens. Try the game if you like. It might hit that SCi Fi spot you want to scratch. The normal trial is 14 days, this link will get you 21 days and get me a game bonus if you sub.

I'm a big fan of EVE and also a big SCi Fi - Fantasy book reader. These books were enjoyable and worth reading I felt. And they are among a smaller pool of pure SCi Fi books so thought I would point them out.
