![]() ![]() I think Vinge's A Deepness In The Sky (which is a prequel to A Fire Upon The Deep) might be the best individual Space Opera novel I can think of. Never read Fire Upon the Deep and sequel but I'm surprised no one's mentioned it cause I see it recommended quite a bit. The Expanse is reasonably good, but I wouldn't quite put in the top tier of space operas at the moment (as of the third book anyway). But Startide Rising and The Uplift War are absolutely brilliant. Timothy Zahn's Thrawn Trilogy may no longer be canon to the Star Wars universe, but it's still very good popcorn entertainment.ĭavin Brin's Uplift Saga is one of the best space opera series ever, if a bit inconsistent (especially as the first novel, Sundiver, is so poor, but fortunately it's skippable). The Eisenhorn and Ravenor trilogies (which feature more interstellar travel) are also excellent. Dan Abnett is more focused on ground activity than space combat, but his Gaunt's Ghost series is easily the best military SF series around. Stephen Donaldson's Gap Saga is excellent, but a tough read at times. His Commonwealth Saga and its sequel series ( The Void Trilogy and Chronicle of the Fallers) are decent, but not quite on the same level apart from Pandora's Star, which is exceptional. ![]() My favourite space opera series of all time is Peter F. ![]() The Vorkosigan Saga is pretty good, if a tad overrated. Alastair Reynolds is top drawer stuff, especially the Revelation Space universe stuff. The Culture books by Iain Banks, of course. ![]()
