Despite the change in lead characters, this #SciFi #SpaceOpera novel is, so far, as energetic and interesting as the previous two, and in the same way.

Really fun and exciting (and a little spicy) #SciFi #SpaceOpera story. On to the next book.

Tonight, I'm looking for a ship design and combat system to use in an upcoming space opera game. It's proving an interesting exercise in frustration. I may have to create my own.
Some thoughts after a reread of the original Foundation trilogy.

@tristan The #fantasy #book I've reread the most recently was The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison
https://www.audible.com.au/pd/The-Goblin-Emperor-Audiobook/1786185512
It's low heat and may be too quiet for some tastes but it moved me. FYI #Bookstodon
In a similar vein, I've appreciated cozy #SFF #books by Becky Chambers
https://www.audible.com/author/Becky-Chambers/B00LUQWGAU
Or if you like #SpaceOpera I recommend Ann Aguirre's Sirantha Jax series with travels through #Grimspace. A bit like The Expanse but smaller scale and simpler.

NEBULAR Sammelband 2: Die Expedition.
Es geht schneller voran, als erwartet. Liegt auch an meinem verbesserten Workflow für das Erstellen des Buchsatzes, was den Ablauf deutlich beschleunigt. Das Buch wird sicher am Montag bereits verfügbar sein.

NEBULAR Sammelband 2: Die Expedition.
Heute wieder zwei Romane dem Sammelband hinzugefügt und ich bin sicher, der Buchsatz wird morgen fertig und an Amazon übergeben.
Das Layout mit Affinity Publisher zu erstellen ist eine Freude, der Workflow simpel und unkompliziert. Ganzseitige Innenillustrationen sind mein Ding, und sind sie aktuell noch s/w, so bedarf es nur einen Klick, um sie zukünftig in Farbe auszugeben, wenn es die Druckkosten erlauben und das Format bei KDP-Print verfügbar ist.

I've been thinking about writing a #SpaceOpera #novel. I've been having a few ideas that I like.
The thing is, I'm not sure keeping things along the space adventure lines is enough for me. I think I'd need more corruption, subjugation, violence, etc. I don't think I'd be satisfied doing a straight forward Star Wars type thing.
Sammelband 2: Die Expedition, ist bereits im Layout und das zweite Taschenbuch meiner Serie sollte in wenigen Tagen bei Amazon verfügbar sein.

Die Druckmuster von KDP-Print sind eingetroffen und sehen fantastisch aus. Der Neustart meiner Sammelbände wird im handlichen Format von 5,5x8,5" und einem matten, umlaufenden Titelbild ausgeliefert.

Das Erscheinungsbild entspricht dem neuen Serienlayout.
Der Band ist ab sofort bei Amazon verfügbar.
Alle 20 Sammelbände werden nun in aufsteigender Reihenfolge neuveröffentlicht.

Vielen lieben Dank von uns Captain-Future-Fans! Es war uns eine Ehre, mit dabei gewesen zu sein.

Always bear in mind that any species that makes it into space of its own accord is very probably the apex predator of the world it evolved on.
What a wonderful book list!
11 Books That Changed How I think About Space Opera @charliejane covers decades and a wide variety of #SpaceOpera #ScienceFiction over decades.
My list, however, would include Charlie Jane Anders's own Unstoppable series which demonstrated that space opera didn't have to be about super soldiers, because its heroes include artists, introverts, transgender princesses, fire beings, and more.

Lovely review of Jo Graham's forthcoming #spaceopera Fortune's Favor by K.V. Johansen. Far-future adventure & high-stakes diplomacy in a complex society with Hellenistic echoes on a 2-sun planet. Launches October 9.

Cover Art by Frank Frazetta for a reprint of „The Solar Invasion“ (Captain Future novel #20, Popular Library, 1968).
Unfortunately, the good captain somewhat looks like a beefcake in this portrayal... Maye Frazetta wasn‘t familiar with the stories?

For no particularly good reason a post by @ GeneticJen gave me a few ideas for a "Space Opera Roguelike". Spaceships, planetoids, and colonies have random baddies who sometimes own the ship, sometimes just occupy it. Take over the bridge and you can fly the spaceship and dock with other ships and colonies. There are shops / mining / friendlies / 4-winged pets just like normal. No guns/lasers because we're mostly on spaceships, durr; so it's daggers and plastic dart guns.
When you're done taking meeting notes for Visa, check out the first book in the Space Rogues series. Available everywhere the finest electronic books are sold (including direct from me)!
I've slacked for a while! Currently, I'm reacing 'Isolation' by Sean Wilson, and an ARC Copy of Jubilee by Stephen K. Stanford.
And of course, still working through 'Character Arcs'.
What about? What're you reading?

I’m no fan of #audiobooks, yet there’s one title I have no hesitation recommending to people who are. STAR WARS: THRAWN (UNABRIDGED), is a great showcase of how good the audio format can be, even for listeners with no interest in #StarWars.
Narrated by, Marc Thompson, get your copy from #AppleBooks today, and follow Thrawn’s rise to power—uncovering the events that created one of the most iconic villains in Star Wars history.

#TheBond: Scientific Entanglements
Martin and the other leads of the first contact crew regularly spent their evenings together with dinner and discussions since the launch of the mission. One day, about four months after the first contact, Amanda, the chief biologist, came out of nowhere with a topic. "These are no aliens", she said and got the attention of everyone in the room. ...

The way I teared up every time a review of #spaceopera said DOUZE POINTS I can’t even tell you. Like somehow that mended my SOUL when it’s not like I was ever going to be hit by the glitter cannon and sing or anything… #Eurovision

I recently finished "Unconquerable Sun" by Kate Elliott. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys space opera, especially with a feminist & queer bent.
As I summed it up to Hubby: "Lesbian Space Princess Sun kinda wants to fight her Bisexual Queen Mother, but an outside force has attacked, so now they must join forces."
Bonus features: humans with exoskeletons as well as regular skeletons, space battles, plucky young people prevailing over superior forces
Minor complaint: not a big fan of shifting tenses with shifting character POVs. But the author made it work.
I'm running a sale! until April 30, Book 1 of the Space Rogues series is free.
If you like misfits coming together to save the day, you'll love the crew of the Ghost! If you don't, well, no one is perfect. :)
