内容説明
These are times that will test the bounds of the human spirit. A clone with no name or past awakens to a cruel existence, hunted mercilessly for crimes he may never know; yet he stands close to the pinnacle of power in New Eden. A disgraced ambassador is confronted by a mysterious woman who knows everything about him, and of the sinister plot against his government; his actions will one day unleash the vengeful wrath of an entire civilization. And among the downtrodden masses of a corporation-owned world, a man named Tibus Heth is about to launch a revolution that will change the course of history The confluence of these dark events will lead humanity towards a tragic destiny. The transcendence of man to the dream of immortality has bred a quest for power like none before it; empires spanning across thousands of stars will clash in the depths of space and on the worlds within. Those who stand before the tides of war, willingly or not, must face the fundamental choices that have been with man for tens of thousands of years, unchanged since the memory of Earth was lost. This is EVE, The Empyrean Age. A test of our convictions and the will to survive.

Dark, but very well written
2008/8/9
形式:ハードカバー|Amazonが確認した購入
I haven't written a book review before and I don't have a lot of time so this will be short and sweet. I have to say that this is one of the most well written books I have read in a long time. Even if you have never seen or heard about the computer game, EVE Online, this is just an all around great sci-fi. It always takes two or three chapters for any book to really start drawing me in but once I was into this book I couldn't put it down. It is rather dark however and I would not recommend it for children or anyone not old enough to handle violence and torture. The characters are all well written and fleshed out for the most part although I wish there had been a little more story on a few characters, but maybe we will see a sequel. Well done Tony Gonzales.

Good, if Flawed

As an Eve player, I picked up this book hoping to gain some greater insight into the events and people behind the stirring of war that was recently introduced with the 'Empyrean Age' expansion to the game. As an avid fan of sci-fi literature, I was just hoping for a good read.
As an Eve player, I was entirely satisfied. So much, in fact, that I piloted my ship through the game to visit the places discussed in the book and examine the remnants of those horrors witnessed while reading (and nearly got podded more than once).
The sci-fi levels in this book were also pretty high, and the story draws you in, and you really have no choice but to finish the book.
However, the book, alone is incomplete. Several of the characters have unfinished stories, the last chapter does not fit the scope of the book in any way, and throughout the book are inconsistencies of style and language.
If you can ignore these flaws, pick up a copy, and enjoy a rather thrilling journey across 4 nations and those heroes that love them.

A good read for fans of sci-fi

While this is clearly based on the background story of the EVE Online game you actually dont need to have played that game to understand what is happening in this pretty good book, in fact most of the specific terms that EVE Online gamers will easily understand can be easily looked up in the Eve Online story/game manual which is free to acquire from the official web site. In this case it only adds to the experience of this book.
This space opera is actually a collection of four different stories told from four different perspectives which are linked together by the declining political situation in the Eve Online universe.
The novel is very descriptive of the situation the characters find themselves in and a notice to parents some areas of this space opera are very graphic in their detail. People who are unaware of the background material of the Eve Online MMO will find the extended descriptions very helpful.
Essentially this is a lead up of events style book that leads to the apocalyptic war in the Eve Online Empyrean Age expansion, overall it is easy to read and understand, written for lovers of sci fi/space operas and for those of us who love galaxy wide political power plays.
