The origins of Darius Shakor. This is designed to be pre-game life if you know what I mean and describes my character and the trials he suffered in early life in space. It was originally supposed to be two parts, then became three, four and finally five to fit it all in. Up to part 4 there were no plans to make a second book.

However, I was becoming bored with my play style, that involved simply mining and the occasional agent mission. Occasionally I would wander into the Intergalactic Summit forum on the official EVE-Online forum, and post anti-slavery messages and debate with the well known pro-Amarrian players. I felt my word had little meaning on either side unless I joined the conflict.

I saw potential to continue the story along those avenues and devised an ever spiraling plot of deceit, lies, murder and other generally unhappy events.

Before you reade the first parts, I want it to be known there are several obvious and glairing writing errors there. I really should fix them, but I am at odds with myself on that. Should I fix them and keep it professional looking all the way? Or should I leave it as it is, showing that my writing style as developed over time? For my own part, looking back at these silly mistakes, it gives me confidence to know that your writing can only get better with time.

Ohh sure, I could still keep old unedited copies on my hard drive, but others would not get that same feeling as they read, would they?

Anyway, I hope you enjoy reading them.
