Volume 1
Empires of EVE: A History of the Great Wars of EVE Online is a monumental work of historical journalism that documents a unique subject: the society within a virtual world, a famously corrupt realm of trolls and digital dictators called EVE Online. It’s the incredible true story of the player factions that have taken power within this gritty Icelandic virtual world. Since 2003, EVE has been ruled by player-led governments organizing tens of thousands of real people. The struggle for power between these diverse groups has led to wars, espionage, and battles fought by thousands of real players. Empires of EVE is a story of climactic last stands, wars for honor and revenge, and spies who changed the course of history. Empires of EVE is the history of how a society was born inside EVE Online, and how that society eventually collapsed into a state of total war from 2007-2009.
Volume 2
A direct sequel to the events of the non-fiction space opera Empires of EVE: A History of the Great Wars of EVE Online, Empires of EVE: Volume 2 picks up immediately following the first book’s climactic conclusion at the end of EVE Online’s ‘Great War.’ Volume 2 is the story of the real players who took power in the wake of that climactic conflict and how they dealt with an influx of hundreds of thousands of new recruits as EVE Online entered a golden age. Based on years of research and interviews with the actual people involved, Empires of EVE: Volume 2 is a book about real video game warfare and the fates of digital societies. It’s the story of the next five years of EVE Online history up to the calamitous conclusion of EVE’s second age at the infamous $300,000 ‘Bloodbath at B-R5RB’ in 2014.
