A surprisingly great essay introduction by the editor on the nature of space opera, with recommendations for many novels, and 80% really fantastic short stories. The other 20%--well, you can just skip those. It's a short story collection. What makes t ...more |

"This had me from the description: “Are you tired of reading science fiction novels that feel like they’re taking literal eons to finish?” Dear reader, the answer to this question is YES.
