Publisher's summary

Empires of EVE: A History of the Great Wars of EVE Online is the incredible true story of the dictators and governments that have risen to power within the real virtual world of EVE Online.

Since 2003, this sci-fi virtual world has been ruled by player-led governments commanding tens of thousands of real people. The conflict and struggle for power between these diverse governments has led to wars, espionage, and battles fought by thousands of people from nations all over the world. There have been climactic last stands, wars for honor and revenge, and spies who caused more damage than a fleet of warships.

Empires of EVE is the history of how political ideas first began to take hold in EVE Online, how that led to the creation of the first governments and political icons, and how those governments eventually collapsed into a state of total war from 2007-2009.

Another amazing job.

I already own the hardcover book and I was a apart of some of these wars and the times they happened in, but I wanted to hear Andrew tell the story again.

Not. Disappointed.

Andrew is a storyteller, both written and when reading it up like this and you can feel his excitement about the content in this audio book. On four separate occasions that I remember off the top of my head I found myself with goosebumps all over my body and shivers running through it. Cochises "All appropriate emotions were applied. We hated them" I had to register to four times before managing to move on.

Brilliant. Thank you.

As a former eve dabbler this book is amazing

While I've played eve (less then 40 hours) I never got too into it. I was always amazed at the stories you'd hear about its community and events that happened within it. I always meant to read this book when it came out but never did. I heard a second installment was released and thought why not. Let me say I was so impressed the stories are deep and amazing and I really enjoyed the book end to end.

The most entertaining history you will ever read

This book makes WW1 and WW2 seem extremely boring in comparison. It also illuminates human nature in a more pure way than any history book as it is more accurate than real history could afford to be.

Fly Safe o7

As a player during a small (latter) part of this time. It brings me a lot of joy to see some of the stories recorded. I hope that many other Authors & historians choose to do the same.

Great book about eve

The history of eve sounds an awful lot like the history of real empires. As a long time player, learning about the early days was great
