This solid follow-up anthology to 2007's The New Space Opera includes 19
new stories that show how far space opera has come since its pulp
beginnings in the '30s and '40s. These entertaining and provocative tales
of interstellar adventure, written by a laundry list of genre heavyweights,
range from Mike Resnick's Catastrophe Baker and a Canticle for Leibowitz,
a campy misadventure that follows a larger-than-life freelance hero on his
quest to regain a musical theater producer's lost song, to John Meaney's
From the Heart, set in his Nulapeiron universe, which revolves around spy
Carl Blackstone and an unlikely.and surprisingly poignant.love story at
the galactic core. The impressive diversity of stories reaffirms that
soap opera is alive and well, and where some of the genre's most innovative
writing is taking place.
