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.

Eve history at its best.

An amazing and in-depth account on Eve online history!

It is well told and informative, the amount of work and knowledge obtained to document eve’s history is outstanding!

So happy that book 2 is now out in audio form, will be buying that today as I already have both books.

Something different and very enjoyable

As an avid sci-fi fan with hundreds of titles under my belt - finding a good listen or read can be difficult. This book is fascinating and follows real-life events in a futuristic universe. The fact that these things have actually happened with thousands of real people struggling in a virtual world makes this so intriguing and such a good listen. As someone who has never played Eve online - this was still easy to follow, although if you tune out for a moment you'll need to skip back to make sure you've not missed anything since it narrates at a break-neck pace.

Highly recommended.

Audio quality not 100% perfect but story is great.

As a brief player of the game, this was an excellent read, a scifi tale!

Excellent record of the history of Eve Online

What did you like best about this story?

Groen does an amazing job of sifting through the myriad fractured sources of history of the players of Eve Online and bringing all the scraps together into an entertaining coherent account of the wars and machinations of the world's largest online sandbox. Groen reaches out to as many sources as possible to try and get a balanced an overview of the conflicts but also retains and allows the listener to enjoy the delicious emotional motives, reactions, and propaganda of the players driving these conflicts.

great listen if you're an mmo gamer

being an eve nerd, I could follow. if I wasn't - no chance! it's a tricky subject to tackle as there are so many cogs to each alliance. I'll warn you in advance that this is one of those books that requires you to listen up to the chapter marker. If you don't, you'll have to recap the chapter to pick up where you left off.

all in all a good listen if you're into mmo games but I can imagine it being a tough task as an outsider to the game.

engaging, and easy to listen to while dealing with complex and often very niche material

excellent story telling that brought old school Eve Online to life. Absolutely would recommend
