Description: "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. ... The new space opera teaches us that despite the bizarre turns humanity may take to conquer these outr settings, a recognizable core of humanity remains." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "In sheer breathtaking, mind-expanding scope, this collection ... delivers hours of exhilarating reading." - Booklist "...Dozois and Strahan bring together some of the finest writers in the field..." - Vernor Vinge "This anthology is a reminder of why science fiction captured the hearts and minds of generations of generations of readers." - Orson Scott Card "THE NEW SPACE OPERA carries us deep into the young, vital core of science fiction: adventure, wonder, far places, strange beings--friends. Two pseudopods up! Highly recommended!" - Greg Bear "Interstellar adventure continues to be at the heart of science-fiction. In THE NEW SPACE OPERA, editors Dozois and Strahan bring together some of the finest writers in the field--to take us once more to the stars." - Vernor Vinge "These grand adventures across space and time use the expected broad brush and huge canvas, but they aren't our fathers' or our grandfathers' space opera. Modern themes approached with modern sensibilities add up to one of the best anthologies ever assembled by this most prolific of science fiction editors. Eighteen twenty-first century seers show that science fiction has not lost its power to evoke the sense of wonder." - Joe Haldeman "Dynamic and exciting, THE NEW SPACE OPERA is...an essential roadmap to the cutting edge of SF today..." - Charles Stross "One of the best anthologies ever assembled by this most prolific of science fiction editors...." - Joe Haldeman "Highly recommended!" - Greg Bear
