From the editor of the acclaimed Locus anthology comes this collection of the best cutting-edge space opera.
What IS the new space opera?
The old space opera was all robots, rayguns and gung-ho heroes. The new space opera has the grandeur, interstellar scale and incredible exploits of the old space opera, but adds cutting edge science, plausible worlds and real people to the mix. The new space opera is scientifically credible ... AND it is ambitious, adventurous and thrilling.
What sets space opera apart from any other kind of fiction is its sheer scale. Its bizarreness knows no limits, its perspective is cosmic. Space opera is about bursting out. It's about going beyond. In the late 1970s, the release of George Lucas's Star Wars brought unprecedented attention to the romantic, epic potential of space adventure, and it hasn't stopped since!
With contributions from Orson Scott Card, Greg Bear, Stephen Baxter, Nancy Kress, Alastair Reynolds and a host of others, The New Space Opera Anthology will be nothing less than the best science fiction bang for your buck of the last twenty-five years.
