A good space opera I would recommend is the book Five-Twelfths of Heaven and its sequels Silence in Solitude and The Empress of Earth by Melissa Scott. All three were also published in one volume under the name The Roads of Heaven. The first review on this amazon.com page is pretty good http://www.amazon.com/roads-heaven-Melissa-Scott/dp/B00005XTAM.

The first four books in the Starfire series consisting of Insurrection, Crusade, In Death Ground, and The Shiva Option by David Weber and Steve White are good reads. The time line between the first and second and second and third books is great enough that you don't have to read them in order but The Shiva Option is a sequel to In Death Ground and should be read in order. There are immense fleet battles in the books among multiple fronts and dozens of characters and really makes you not want to put the books down until read through. There is a fifth book in the series called Exodus written by David Weber's partner of the first four books and someone new that I've heard is not really worth reading.
