The sci-fi novel is written by Hjalti Dan&iacute;elsson (aka <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/ccp-abraxas">CCP Abraxas</a>) who has written many of the <a href="http://www.eveonline.com/background/potw/"><em>EVE</em> Chronicles</a> -- short, gritty tales that show readers the various facets of <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/08/29/eve-visual-guide-the-birth-of-new-eden/">life in New Eden</a>. <br /><br />The Chronicles have been a way of driving the game's lore forward for years, so we're wondering what to expect from The Burning Life. Could it possibly be tied in with the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/05/09/ccp-games-to-revamp-the-lore-of-eve-online/">new directions that CCP Games wants to take</a> with <em>EVE</em>'s lore? <br /><br />At this point we don't know have much information about the novel, or whether it will be tied in with an upcoming expansion as the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/empyrean-age"><em>Empyrean Age</em></a> novel by <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/tony-gonzales">Tony Gonzales</a> was in 2008. <br /><br />There are <a href="http://media.us.macmillan.com/video/olmk/fall09/Tor-Fall-09-1.pdf">paperback release dates listed for 2009</a> in North America (Tor) and 2010 in Europe (Gollancz).<br /><br /><a href="http://twitter.com/galen_druid">[Via Ga'len</a>]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/06/04/new-eve-online-novel-the-burning-life-is-on-the-way/">New EVE Online novel "The Burning Life" is on the way</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Thu, 04 Jun 2009 16:00:00 EST.
