Hjalti Danielsson

Hjalti Danielsson is an Icelandic writer who worked for CCP Games, developer of the massively multiplayer online game EVE Online. He wrote EVE: The Burning Life (2010), a tie-in novel set in the game's science-fiction universe of interstellar corporate warfare among rival human factions, part of a line of licensed EVE Online fiction that also includes Tony Gonzales's The Empyrean Age. The novel expands on the setting's political intrigue and capsuleer pilots for readers of the game's lore. Danielsson's fiction output centers on this tie-in novel, reflecting a career based primarily within CCP's game-development and world-building side rather than as a full-time novelist.
