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!

    Try the first books of Lois McMaster Bujold’s Vorkosigan saga—it centers around a backwoods aristocrat moonlighting as an interstellar mercenary captain.
