Tony Gonzales' second EVE novel, EVE: Templar One is due out in stores everywhere January 3rd, 2012.
It follows the action of his first novel, EVE: Empyrean Age, and features the story of the first immortal DUST soldiers. I read an early version of it and I heartily endorse it. You can read the devblog with more information here.

Will this one be proofread? /hipster
Just kidding (I think). I'll be buying this, regardless of my initial skepticism. It takes a lot to write a novel. Best luck for the future, Tony. |

Though it had its faults, I massively enjoyed Empyrean Age and I'm very much looking forward to Templar One (I've had it pre-ordered forever it seems). Good times ahead.

Sad to see you go, CCP TonyG.
I'm looking forward to this book, hopefully it will be available for sale in Australia some time. Empyrean Age still isn't available as an ePub, apparently the USA takes Australia's history as a penal colony for bread thieves a little too seriously.

I've always been a big fan of Eve's fiction as well; I'm sad to see Tony G go.
I hope in future CCP finds a better way to monetise fiction rather than give it away free on their website or sell physical novels, then have to lay off the staff when that isn't profitable :( |

Why are all my favorite devs the ones leaving? (Okay a lot of my favorites are staying, but still...) Sadness...
Anyway, I eagerly await this literary work of awesome. And I too would love to see the day where EVE posters rival those of Master Chief and others at Comic-Con. That would be epic.

You're a casualty, that's ridiculous. Empyrean Age is what got me into EVE, three accounts since 2008!
I look forward to reading the book and I wish you all the best in other projects.
I hope that CCP can develop WIS/FIS to realise the rich Universe that you created for us - clone vat treachery, slave liberation, epic fleet battles and station infiltration.
Fantastic stuff!  |

Empyrean Age brought me into EVE as well, and despite some rough patches, I thoroughly enjoyed The Empyrean Age before passing it on to a friend of mine, who loved it as well. I can understand the restructuring of the company post-Incarna, but I just can't see the logic in letting go someone who's helped to develop the backstory of the game as he has. I wish CCP TonyG the best as well, and hope he may even come back someday. |

Very sad and shocked to learn Tony G is being let go. This is a big step back for development of Eve's backstory. Much of what we know and experience of Eve's Soul is due to what he has written.
I had looked forward to seeing this book published, but now that joy has been tainted with sadness.
Farewell, Tony, and best wishes for the future. You will be missed. |

Hey Tony.
I have all forgiven you the spat in the face I felt when reading Theodicy, but I will still claim that the Enheduanni was the worst thing ever introduced into the world of EVE.
I will for sure buy and read Templar One. You will know the book has passed all tests if I end up buying a PS3 after reading it.
Shame to see you go and I wish you all the best in the future ahead. Maybe we will see you back in EVE after your book has pulled in thousands of interested console gamers to DUST.

Thanx Tony for all your passion and dedication to carry forward the EVE lore.
Now as you'r soon to be a free man again, released from corporate bondages, you stand on a new opportunity to carry on and develop the EVE lore further through a private enterprise. That is until CCP again has enough ISK to buy out your EVE lore company.
Also, just ordered both of the books (Empyrean Age and Templar One) to bring myself up to date with the past year EVE lore delicacies.

Sad to see TonyG go, he certainly added a lot of character to the game.
On a more book related note, will this be released on the Kindle as well? |

I really like The empyrean age and i cant wait for this book, but what makes me post in the forum, is the news about Tony
G leaving CCP.
I think this is a big mistake by CCP Tony and his brougth me to EVE and the whole hystory behind that expansion is thanx to Tony , this unless he decide to quit, but he mention he got laid off.
So CCP i say it again this is a Big mistake, almost as incarna was, he work for 8 years developing this IP and you guys just let him go ?  i really confuse right now 
sorry for the english not first language |

Any chance of getting the EVE books as eBooks? either in Kindle or another flexable format?
The more time goes on the harder I find it to read books in dead tree format, I'd always prefer the ease of carrying around my Kindle.
[Edit]
My bad, looks like Empyrean Age and Burning Life are available on Amazon for Kindle, just not Templar One. |

So long, and thanks for all the fish, Tony.
Your work was, is and will always be appreciated by the lore lovers among us.
When your book hit my mom's nightstand (she's 65, and never played EVE), and she avidly read it cover-to-cover in a single week time, I realized your work was actual literature, not just EVE ads or fluff.
Your statement about "the most underutilized force in EVE" is sooooooooooo true.
I'll buy the book for sure.

I can't believe this, I was so excited as I started to read this blog only to be disappointed to learn that the man who has expanded our world gets the chop. I've never disagreed with the course you as a company have made but this is an outrage. He has given us the background that EVE very much lacks. I hope that all of you reading this who love the lore of New Eden will not remain silent.
Stand and be heard, we want Tony back! |

Im very much looking forward to Templar One, I hope that is will be available as an eBook and that its success will propel TonyG on to even better things.
Its sad and disappointing to hear that TonyG is being let go by CCP. Yet another douchebag move by a company that simply doesn't understand its customers or what they want from the EVE IP.
Way to go CCP - keep those epicfail hits coming.
