I’m looking for some good space opera. I read a lot on royal road and KU. I love space opera, but I’m sick of military and AI tropes. Any good suggestions? The more ship to ship battles the better. I understand that may be counter-intuitive, but I’ve read several privateer/freighter/scrapper books that were amazing. Looking for more of the same.
Thanks!


I heartily recommend Alastair Reynolds’ Revelation Space series. I don’t think I’ve read something by Reynolds that I haven’t liked
I’m gonna look further into this.
oh yeah these are pretty good
Oh, this looks great! Thanks!
I’d second this. The perfect dryfus books are set in the same world/ of the series, but are also great standalones
Pushing Ice was my first and still favorite of his.
