Question I love the movies and TV series Serenity, Far Scape, and Andromeda (not so much Star Wars or Star Trek). I'm not interested in any of the movie-tie in books but am looking for books that are science-fiction adventures. I've read Bradbury, Asimov, H.G. Wells, and others but would like more current authors.
Answer Space Opera suggestions:
Several series by Eric Flint and David Weber
Phule's Company (and sequels) by Robert Asprin
Time Scout (and sequels) by Robert Asprin
Many books by Harry Turtledove or C.J. Cherryh
Harry Harrison (oldie but goodie - check out The Stainless Steel Rat series, and my favorite Deathworld
Infinity Hold by Barry Longyear (hard to find but worth it). Also by Barry Longyear: Enemy Mine (but skip the sequels and the lousy movie)
