Reclamation
Introduction
Elite:Reclamation is an upcoming officially licensed novel being written by Drew Wagar, set in the Elite:Dangerous universe and due for publication in March 2014 alongside the Elite : Dangerous game by Frontier Developments. There is also a website dedicated to the book.
The novel will feature an ensemble cast of memorable characters, a dark and dystopian future and a plot which will twist from political intrique, via epic space battles, to a tense page-turning finale.
Whilst Elite:Reclamation will be a wholly original work, Drew has already produced a fan-fic series based in the Elite-like universe of the fan game Oolite. These novels, known as the Oolite Saga, are still available on-line and can be downloaded for free, with the first being published back in 2006.
Drew's Kickstarter for the novel caused a notable stir in the online community by being one of the first Kickstarters to successfully fund a pledge on another Kickstarter. This unorthodox approach generated a number of press articles.
The Elite:Reclamation project has currently raised £7,043 from its initial Kickstarter, and is published by Fantastic Books.
The trailer video for the book is available on youtube.

Notes
The blurb for the book reads as follows:
Lady Kahina Loren, born into the Prism system’s powerful ruling family, is desperate to throw off the shackles of her privileged lifestyle and discover herself, but ambition crumbles when she faces death at the hands of the one person she thought she could trust.
With the advanced technology of the 3rd millennium, death is not always as final as it seems, but when that technology malfunctions, is death the better option…
