But for a new Eve player it offers some insight into the background of the universe.<br />Fade Toblackhttp://www.the20minuters.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456789637460064957.post-71926134751902801992012-08-27T20:23:07.936+01:002012-08-27T20:23:07.936+01:00All geeks love to read... it's a prereq. =]
...All geeks love to read... it's a prereq. =]<br /><br />If you liked Stephenson (I've read ALL his stuff, deep into 'Reamde' now) may i suggest a few others? JIC you haven't already read em check out John Scalzi (http://scalzi.com/ goto > 'books' link) and S.M. Sterling (http://www.smstirling.com/) the whole "Emberverse" (I & II, 10 books!) & co-timeline "Island in The Sea fo Time" trilogy are some of the best things I have read since Master Heinlein passed and the "Lords of Creation" is just damned fun...<br /><br />Not that Im into reading or anything... =]Turamarth Elrandirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08129383421613323047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456789637460064957.post-33604208148437932632012-08-25T02:07:52.817+01:002012-08-25T02:07:52.817+01:00Heh, glad to be of service here!

If you have any questions, feel free to send them my way.<br /><br />And I hope you don't mind me tooting my own horn a BIT more, but if you're interested in learning more about EVE's backstory, might I suggest the EVE Lore Survival Guide that I've written?
