| “This anthology is a reminder of why science fiction captured the hearts and minds of generations of readers.” —Orson Scott Card What sets space opera apart from other fiction is its sheer scale: it is an exuberant celebration of the very large and the very small, of the very old and the very new, of the vast, panoramic instant we live in; the instant in which everything that went before melds with everything yet to be. It is Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica. The only book of its kind, The New Space Opera brings together for the first time the generation of writers who spawned and embody the “new space opera,” as well as other talents destined to join their ranks. Going beyond everything that has come before, this fresh, visionary anthology is essential reading for every science fiction fan. “The new space opera shares with the old the interstellar sweep of events and exotic locales, but Dozois and Strahan’s all-original anthology shows how the genre’s purveyors have updated it, with rigorous science, well-drawn characters and excellent writing.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Dynamic and exciting . . . an essential roadmap to the cutting edge of SF today.” —Charles Stross “In sheer breathtaking, mind-expanding scope, this collection of some of the finest tale-spinning the subgenre has to offer delivers hours of exhilarating reading.” —Booklist |
