Space opera is a sub-genre of science fiction dealing with stories of epic adventure and conflict on a grand scale. If you are a fan of authors like Poul Anderson, Peter F. Hamilton, Alastair Reynolds, E.E. Smith, David Drake, Neal Asher, John C. Wright, Iain M. Banks, Walter Jon Williams, Dan Simmons, Jack Vance, David Weber, Vernor Vinge, Stephen Baxter, Larry Niven, or Louis McMaster Bujold, this group is for you.
Space opera often has fuzzy boundaries with other genres, such as hard science fiction and military science fiction. I’d rather err on the side of inclusiveness, so if you think a book or author might fit, don’t hesitate to bring them up.
