The preface of this book is well worth the price of admission. I was not expecting a dissertation on the origins and history of Space Opera. For those who came into Space Opera like I did, in the late 70's (strangely coinciding with the first Lucas movie) may not be aware of Space Opera's earliest days. Or that women were some of the first and prolific Space Opera authors.

I am slowly working my way through this compilation of Space Opera short stories. I have to be in the correct mood for this kind of reading.

I wish that Lois McMaster Bujold's Miles Vorkosigan in "Borders of Infinity" had not accidentally killed Beatrice. I really liked Beatrice. Perhaps the author will have Beatrice survive (she is after a front-line highly-modified ubersoldier) her fall from the shuttle to be rescued later by Miles and his crew of scrappy mercenaries.

This is a thick book. I am into the third story which is finally from an author that I enjoy. I've always enjoyed the Legion of the Damned series by Dietz. I hope that Dietz writes more Legion books. I enjoyed the Legion books set in the early days of the Legion when cyborgs were just entering service as much as I enjoyed the other nine books of the "main" series.

This is a large book and will take me a little while to get through. First story is set in the Ender's Game universe not one of my favorite series or authors.
