EVE: The Zero-Era Hegemony

In YC 123, currents stir beneath the surface of the New Eden universe. Ling Chen, a scion of a wealthy Minmatar family, enters the sea of stars as a new clone recruit. But upon enlisting, he unexpectedly bonds with Zero, a Jupiter super AI that has slept for a thousand years. This mysterious AI has no physical form. It is both his personal instructor and his ultimate trump card, unknown to anyone else. During the hellish training at the SK23 deep-space outpost, Ling Chen pushes past his limits through sheer willpower. Starting from nothing, can he find his footing amid rampant pirates and warlords carving up the galaxy? What secret behind the fall of the Jupiter civilization does AI Zero conceal? When an ancient weapon in an EVE wormhole awakens, can Ling Chen break the thousand-year stranglehold of the Four Empires and rise from an insignificant clone soldier to become the overlord of the entire New Eden universe?
