"Even if this body of mine is turned to dust, I will defend my country."
A thread about space opera(best genre ever), thanks you jerks now Im going to have to read every book mentioned in this thread.

Also p. much all of david weber's stuff is p. great, I have read a decent number of these other books mentioned but it seems like I have alot to read.

I kinda wish there was a list of Tv space opera's (TVIV needs to get on this) too sadly the only one I can think of now that was any good was legend of the galactic heroes.

I mean if you want Hornblower in space, you could always pick up the Alexis Carew series. Because obviously in hyperspace...uhhh dark space electronics don't work so we have to use dumb old cannons, and we move though darkspace with literal sails.

If you mean the big space fleets duking it out, ehh I guess you got Legend of the Galactic Heroes but that reads a bit too much like a history book to me.
