A direct sequel to the events of the non-fiction space opera Empires of EVE: A History of the Great Wars of EVE Online, Empires of EVE: Volume 2 picks up immediately following the first book's climactic conclusion at the end of EVE Online's 'Great War.'

Volume 2 is the story of the real players who took power in the wake of that climactic conflict and how they dealt with an influx of hundreds of thousands of new recruits as EVE Online entered a golden age.

Based on years of research and interviews with the actual people involved, Empires of EVE: Volume 2 is a book about real video game warfare and the fates of digital societies. It's the story of the next five years of EVE Online history up to the calamitous conclusion of EVE's second age at the infamous $300,000 'Bloodbath at B-R5RB' in 2014.

What is collected here is a testament to how a digital universe can enable people to create stories of a far future world now, and, at the same time, a reminder of how creators of the said digital realm went so wrong in their design after 2013. This is how magical New Eden used to be, and this is the evidence of what that world lost with CCP's marketing decision to transform it from a unique open-world science fiction reality to just another microtransaction-fuelled PVE pastime.
