There is a saying that goes; Eve is The game that you like to read about, more than you like playing it.
And thank you Andrew Groen for spending such a great amount of time and resources getting it right !

"The story of those (past) events is still important to the people who are in power now and because of
that, those stories can't be properly be told yet because they are still to important to the power balance
that people are willing to lie about them" - Andrew Groen

I'm reading my copy now and I have to say. I was extreamly surprised on how the righting drew me in. I was expect encyclopedia styled entries. But this was much more than that.

It makes me wish that the current coalitions and aliances would just put all their assets on the line just to start creating great content again. But allas..i fear it's not going to happen

That's what happens when you have leaders that are all hat. They make great drunken TV. They make great drunken TV.

That's what happens when certain people become enamored with the wrong guy. All they get is drunken TV.

As long as the tale of the hunt is told by the hunter, and not the lion, it will favor the hunter.

Already finished reading mine. Raises a few eyebrows like LOWSEC CONCORD but otherwise it was a fun read.

Post with your NPC alt main and not your main main alt!

It may not exactly be promoting the book, but Andrew Groen will be speaking at Fanfest 2016 and we're totally excited to have him here!

I was amazed at the accuracy of the book's technical details. Missed that reference. (Although, to be pedantic, it is CONCORD who keep track of the impact on one's security status of lowsec activity, even if they do not appear personally to punish the wicked in those systems.)

Hmmm!

Ditto!

I am in the UK and US Amazon refuse to ship, even though I have bought from the US Amazon in the past!

Plus the UK Amazon is only selling the stupid electronic Kindle version!

Will it be available for sale at Fanfest?
