About the life of the 12 Imams you can read Kitab Al-Irshad by Shaikh Al-Mufeed which is a good book translated in English and available online.
The Prophet (SAWA) and the Infallible Imams (AS) who have been martyred are alive and never dead. Allah says in Quran ( Never say dead to those who were been killed in the way of Allah, in fact they are alive but you don’t feel. (Sura Al-Baqara, verse 154).
All Muslims greet the Prophet (SAWA) in every Prayer by saying: ASSALAMU Alayka Ayyuhan Nabiyyu Warahmatullah Wabarakatuh. Which means that the Prophet is alive that is why we greet him from where ever we are.
'The Prophet and Infallible Imams listen to us and pray for us.
The number of the twelve Imams is mentioned in Quran when mentioning the divine leaders after Prophet Musa (Sura Al-Maa'idah , verse 12).
Allah (SWT) Mentioned that Prophet Muhammad is sent to people as Prophet Musa was sent. (Sura Al-Muzzammil , verse 15.
'From these two Quranic verses we know that the divine successors of the Proohet Muhammad are twelve just like the divine successors after Musa.
'Mentioning the names of the twelve Imams explicitly is not our job to ask as Allah did not mention explicitly the numbers of units of our most compulsory daily prayers and left if to the Prophet (SAWA) to explain. Allah Knows what to mention and not.
'As the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) mentioned the number and the names of the twelve Imams, every Muslim must believe and follow the Prophet (SAWA).
