Happy Friday, readers! Oh, the space opera. It’s a ridiculous term, but this sub-genre of science fiction is awfully fun. Playing on the phrase “soap opera,” a space opera is a sci-fi story set in outer space that’s high on melodrama, adventure, action, and deep relationships (both friendly and romantic).
I share your views of Woodrow Wilson and it is the reason I've been curious to read the book about his wife's two years as de facto president. Wonderful books in this issue!
If you’re still in the mood for long books in a longer series you absolutely must check out Michael J Sullivan. Absolutely outstanding author, I just bought the next 8 books in the series. Can’t recommend enough and state how quickly you will be hooked! Currently reading The Count of Monte Cristo and can’t believe how incredible it is. The writing and characters are extraordinary.
I'd recommend the Wayfarer series by Becky Chambers. The first book, A Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet had all the space opera elements you could want!
