Description
Of all the sub-genres of Science Fiction, the Space Opera has inspired discussions and arguments about the true meaning. Most writers agree that the genre involves space travel, with elements of adventure and romance at a grand scale. The idea of the Space Opera has evolved as new authors push the boundaries and characteristics defining the genre. But one thing is sure: Space Operas will continue to entertain the masses for years to come in various forms, from multi-installment epic sagas to short stories.
New Adventures in Space Opera is a new anthology curated and edited by Johnathan Strahan. This is a collection of short stories by the who’s-who of current award-winning, best-selling authors of science fiction, fantasy, and horror. Strahan starts this book with Tobias S. Buckell’s Zen and the Art of Starship Maintenance. Normally, this would be a hard act to follow, but with authors such as Yoon Ha Lee, Becky Chambers, Sam J Miller, and other talents, the adventures continue. The stories are as diverse as the international cast of all-star writers. This is an excellent collection for fans of Space Operas and those needing an escape to far new places.
