I was informed about this.
It seems the EVE Novel is about to be released on June the 19. Besides some cryptic description, there is not much more info about the story |

Well the most recent news concerning the workers revolt in the State is related to it. It is also suspected that the attempt on the Amarrian chancellor is related to it.
In general the book and the next expansion are directly linked with the events of the book creating the situation that will appear with the expansion. 'Big' changes are supposedly coming to the background and this is what will 'allow' factional warfare.
Sadly when I checked the US amazon site it did not have it. |

The US Amazon site has it. You have to search for "Tony Gonzales" and not "Empyrean Age" for some reason.

It's listed under just the title "EVE" on the core Amazon.com.

I ordered Empyrean Age on Amazon.de and just received an email, that they are unable to send the book and ask me if I am still interested.
What are the experiences of others who ordered the book?

My experience has been that no one outside the U.K. book distributors and Amazon CA seems to be able to actually take a pre-release order for it. And with how high shipping is from there to the U.S., I'm not to crazy about buying a book where the majority of the price is just to get it to me. I checked it on the Amazon U.S. site this morning, and you still only have an option to be alerted when it is available. I ran the ISBN through Border's system, and it is not even listed with them. / "Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in getting up every time we do." - Confucius, Chinese philosopher & reformer (551 BC - 479 BC.) |

Update:
Amazon does not seem to know when the Book will become available. Is there anyone who already got the book from other sources?

At this point, I think it is safe to assume the initial release of the book is very much FUBAR'd and that most of us will be waiting much longer then we would like to actually get hold of a copy. / "Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in getting up every time we do." - Confucius, Chinese philosopher & reformer (551 BC - 479 BC.) |

Looks like it's going to be late arriving.
I work for a UK based book wholesaler and it's not in stock at work so unless you've ordered it from Amazon.co.uk, who most likely got a delivery direct from the publisher, you'll not be getting it over this weekend.
I have the whole of our goods-in department on the shift I work on the lookout for it so when it does come in there'll be a fast turnaround.

I'm looking forward to this being published in the states. If it is half as good as my beloved 40K novels, I'll be very pleased.
I hope someday that someone comes out with an EVE Compendium of sorts. That is, a book that includes the best short stories, artwork, tips and hints, a history of the game's development...sort of like a Hitchhiker's Guide to EVE. There is so much to this game (it is the only MMO that has held my attention for long) that it deserves such a magnum opus.

my copy arrived this afternoon, and I'm already a third of the way through.
This thing is a masterpiece. I've got a lot of respect for TonyG's talents as an author. -

EDIT: ....and now I've finished it, though I've given myself a splitting headache in doing so. This should be evidence enough of the book's quality, as should be the fact that I fully intend to re-read it a few times in the coming days. I'm a pretty fast reader and, with only a few breaks, it still took me the better part of ten hours to finish, and it was worth every second. Big book, big themes, masterfully written and absolutely enthralling from cover to cover.
My only gripe with it is that a few plot arcs were never really fully resolved (I won't go into specifics, for fear of spoiling it for those unfortunates who are yet to read this treasure) but that gripe drowns next to the power of the novel. I came within an inch of shedding multiple Single Manly Tears at one point - I suspect that a less emotionally hollow reader would have openly wept
So... When's the next one?
I hate you. My copy arrived this morning but I haven't had any opportunity to read it because I have been kept busy defending alliance assets in 0.0

Agree 100%! In fact I stayed up a lot later than I intended to last night reading it as I couldn't put it down.. but whats with the ending?

I also received my copy of the Empyrean Age. A very good read so far.
I also noticed that it becomes interesting to read some of the more recent Chronicles again.
For example, in a hindsight the fate of the slave boy Sispur, from "The lottery" seems to be grim, as "servant" of Councilor Karsoth.
