The New Space Opera is . . . an essential road map to the cutting edge of SF today.'' --Charles Stross, Hugo Award-winning author

''One of the best anthologies ever assembled by this most prolific of science fiction editors.'' --Joe Haldeman, Hugo Award winning author of
The Forever War

''Highly recommended!'' --Greg Bear,
New York Time bestselling author

''Dozois and Strahan bring together some of the finest writers in the field.'' --Vernor Vinge,
New York Times bestselling author

''In sheer breathtaking, mind-expanding scope, this collection . . . delivers hours of exhilarating reading.'' --
Booklist ''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.'' --
