I've always enjoyed reading into the history of game worlds and their lore, myths, and conflicts. Obviously eve has a lot to offer in this area but I haven't been able to really find something good to read. Any recommendations? Player created ones don't really bring me in unless they are really well written.

the 3 books
Empyrean Age
The Burning Life
Templar One
My local bookshop stocks the 1st & 3rd, 2nd is apparently out of print for whatever reason, but you should be able to find it online. |

one of my favourites is Xenocracy, especially now that PI is in, and Customs Offices across all of space are Capsuleer controlled.
I would second the books too. However, I would suggest reading "The Burning Life" first, then the other two; as it is not part of the same arc -- it's more of a stand-alone novel than anything (still good though)
Enpyrean Age and Templar One pretty much give some solid backstory for the "Empyrean Age" and "Apocrypha" expansions, as well as bringing in the Dust mercs. Both of them also give "NPC Views" of other events that have happened (IIRC, destruction of Steve, the Jita Monument, etc.)
One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia |

You should enjoy this one, heavy reading but the detail makes it very worthwhile.

The chronicles. All the chronicles. As short stories and vignettes, they give the best clips of New Eden without running into the issues the novels face.

Loved the Empyrean Age. It was great. Loved Templar One, it was great.
You have to read The Burning Life because otherwise you wont have read all the fiction. But you will hate every moment of it with every fibre of your being.

You can't go wrong with the Chronicles. Fiction stories presenting the New Eden world. Pretty amazing stuff. Most of them are by the author of the EVE: A Burning Life novel, I think.
Mark726's lore guide is excellent at rounding all the lore details up and presenting them in a unified, encyclopedia-like form.
A Burning Life is about individual characters and is pretty dark, similar to most of the Chronicles. Empyrean Age and Templar One are more about galactic-scale politics and space opera. It seems like people tend to like either A Burning Life or the other two, but not both. Threads debating them come up pretty often over in the EVE Fiction forums section. |

I hope you're joking about the "I was there" video. If it's the same one I'm thinking of I'd have to vote that into one of my least favorite eve videos of all time. |
